Remaining distance until next

Together with the lettering OILSERVICE or 
INSPECTION, the next scheduled service 
and remaining distance to this service is 
shown in miles/kilometers.
The remaining distance is determined on 
the basis of the past driving style.
A flashing display and a – before the 
numerical value mean that the service 
interval has been passed by the displayed 
number of miles/kilometers. Please make 
an appointment with your BMW Sports 
Activity Vehicle Center.

make an appointment with your BMW 
Sports Activity Vehicle Center.
Immobilization periods in which the 
battery is disconnected are not taken 
into account by the display. Please remem-
ber that brake fluid should be changed
