Quality Certification I

For a detailed list of items inspected, refer to the
Quality Certification I form provided to the Owner
at time of delivery. A copy of the form is on file at
the selling BMW SAV center.
Fuel Quality – Gasoline
Only use fuels advertised to have adequate
detergency and low alcohol (such as ethanol)
content. Please refer to your owner's manual for
important information on the fuel recommended
for use in your vehicle. Use of fuels with
insufficient detergent and/or excess alcohol can
cause driveability problems that necessitate
cleaning intake valves and fuel injection valves,
and, when applicable, adjusting the engine idle.
We suggest having this work performed by your
authorized BMW center, perhaps while regular
maintenance is performed. Your BMW center can
also recommend a gasoline additive that will
provide sufficient detergency. While this
recommended unscheduled maintenance is not
required in order to maintain the emission
warranty, cleaning of intake valves or, when
applicable, fuel injection valves, or adjustment of
engine idle, necessitated by use of inappropriate
fuel, it is not covered by warranty because no
defect in material or workmanship or component
failure is involved.

Maintenance Service Summary

The Condition Based Service (CBS) system will
determine the requirement for performing the
maintenance services described in this section,
ending on page 8 (excluding items noted as "not
shown in CBS"). These services may be required
either individually or in conjunction with other
maintenance services.
Maintenance services are performed as outlined
in this section, based on intervals of either time,
mileage or after performing a specified number
of previous services. These intervals correspond
to the latest information available when this
booklet was printed. Maintenance intervals are
subject to change with newer vehicles or may
also apply retroactively. Your BMW center will
advise and perform maintenance services as
required by the most recent information that
applies to your vehicle.
