Maintenance
The BMW Maintenance
System
The BMW Maintenance System is desi-
gned to ensure that your vehicle will con-
tinue to furnish consistent reliability com-
bined with optimal safety. The service
schedule also includes operations related
to the vehicle's comfort and convenience
features, such as replacement of the filters
for the inside air. The ultimate object is to
furnish economical maintenance by provi-
ding the ideal service for your individual
vehicle.
Should the day come when you decide to
sell your BMW, you will find that a complete
dealer service history is an asset of inesti-
mable value.
CBS Condition Based Service
CBS is a more advanced version of the Ser-
vice Interval Display. Sensors combine with
highly-specialized algorithms to supply
service information that reflects your
vehicle's actual operating conditions more
precisely than ever before.
The system now furnishes individual dis-
plays of the times remaining until the dead-
lines for specific service operations as well
as official state inspections:
> Engine oil
> Brakes – separate for front and rear
> Particle/activated-charcoal filter
> Brake fluid
> Spark plugs
> Vehicle check
> Coolant
> Official state inspections.
CBS monitors both current and upcoming
service requirements. After accessing the
data stored in the vehicle's key, your BMW
service advisor is able to suggest precisely
the right array of service procedures for
your own individual vehicle.
By letting you define a service and mainte-
nance regimen that reflects your own indi-
vidual requirements, Condition Based Ser-
vice builds the basis for trouble-free
driving.

the Service Interval Display on page
