Maintenance

BMW Maintenance System
The BMW Maintenance System contributes
towards upholding the roadworthiness and
operating reliability of your BMW. It also covers
comfort and convenience aspects, such as
ensuring that filters for the air in the car's inte-
rior are renewed in good time. 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 69:
> Engine oil
> Brake linings, separately for front and rear
> Brake fluid
> Vehicle check

> Statutory vehicle inspections, depending
on national requirements
Service data in the remote control
Your car continuously stores information relat-
ing to service requirements in the remote con-
trol as the car is being driven. Your BMW Serv-
ice Advisor can read out this data from the
remote control, and propose an optimised
maintenance 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 76, otherwise the effec-
tiveness of Condition Based Service CBS can-
not be assured.<
Service Booklet
More information about required service rou-
tines is provided in the Service Booklet.
BMW recommends that you have mainte-
nance and repair work carried out by
BMW Service.
Make sure that maintenance work is confirmed
in the Service Booklet after it has been carried
out. These entries are evidence that your BMW
has been serviced regularly and correctly.<
