BMW recommends you have your maintenance and repair work performed by an authorized BMW center. A wellmaintained vehicle will help safeguard its operational performance, road safety and its reliability. This is why it is important to follow and perform BMW’s recommended periodic vehicle inspections and maintenance service tasks as indicated by your vehicle’s Maintenance Service Display, along with the other maintenance work described in this booklet. Damage, including consequential damage, which results from lack of or improper maintenance is not covered under the BMW New Vehicle Limited Warranty for Passenger Cars and Light Trucks. Maintenance intervals on motor vehicles were conventionally based solely on a vehicle’s routine maintenance requirements; the distance traveled is only one of cold starts, prolonged periods of idling, stopandgo driving, and high engine speeds during acceleration may require more frequent maintenance intervals than a vehicle that is driven long distances at moderate engine speeds. Your BMW vehicle uses sensors and algorithms together with the elapsed maintenance service needs. This information is then used to adapt dynamically the parameters used to forecast the applicable maintenance service task intervals. All BMW vehicles are equipped with an integrated BMW Maintenance System. This maintenance “reminder” system helps ensure that the vehicle inspections and maintenance service tasks are performed at the forecasted intervals that apply to your vehicle. 1 ...
