BMW Maintenance System
The BMW Maintenance System contributes
towards upholding the roadworthiness and
operating safety of your BMW. Its purpose is to
optimise maintenance measures with a view to
minimising the cost of looking after your car.
If and when you come to sell your BMW, a com-
prehensive record of servicing will prove a sig-
nificant benefit.
Condition Based Service CBS
Sensors and advanced algorithms take account
of the varying conditions in which your BMW is
used. Condition Based Service uses these to
determine current and future servicing require-
ments. The system provides you with an oppor-
tunity to tailor the scope of maintenance work
to your personal standards, so that your BMW
will always be reliably operational.
On the Control Display, you can have the
remaining distances and times for selected
maintenance tasks as well as any legally pre-
scribed dates displayed to you individually, see
page 63:
> Engine oil
> Brake pads: separately for front and rear
> Brake fluid
> Vehicle check
> Statutory vehicle inspections, depending
on national requirements
Service data in the remote control
Your vehicle continuously saves service-
requirement information in the remote control
while you are driving. Your BMW Service Advi-
sor can read out this data from the remote con-
trol unit, and propose an optimised mainte-
nance approach. Whenever you take your car in
for servicing you should therefore hand your
BMW Service advisor the remote control unit
that you last used.
Make sure that the date is always set cor-
rectly, see page 66, otherwise the effec-
tiveness of Condition Based Service CBS is not
assured.<
Service
More information on items that need regular
maintenance and on the scope of maintenance
required can be found on page 226.
BMW recommends that you have mainte-
nance and repair work carried out by
BMW Service.
Make sure that maintenance work is confirmed
after it has been carried out. These entries are
evidence that your vehicle has been serviced
regularly and correctly.<
Socket for on-board
diagnosis OBD
There is an OBD socket on the driver's side for
checking components that critically influence
the composition of emissions.
