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
74 :
> Engine oil
> Brakes, separately for front and rear
> Micro-filter/activated charcoal filter
> Particulate filter *
> Brake fluid
> Spark plugs
> Vehicle check
> Statutory vehicle inspections, depending
on national requirements
Service data in the remote control
Your car continuously stores such information
in the remote control as the car is being driven.
Your BMW Service 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 in the iDrive is
always set correctly, see page
80 , other-
wise the effectiveness of Condition Based
Service CBS is not assured.

Service Booklet
Further information on the maintenance rou-
tines required is provided in the Service Book-
let.
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.
