The BMW Maintenance System has 
been designed as a reliable means of 
providing maximum driving and oper-
ating safety – and as cost-effectively as 
possible for you.
Please keep in mind that regular main-
tenance is not only necessary for the 
safety of your vehicle, but also plays a 
significant role in maintaining the resale 
value of the vehicle.
Service Interval Display
While conventional systems rely on 
distance traveled alone to determine 
when service is due, the BMW Mainte-
nance System has for years considered 
the actual conditions under which the 
vehicle operates, because miles can be 
traveled in many different ways:
From a maintenance point of view, 
62,000 miles (100,000 km) of short-
distance urban driving cannot be 
compared with 62,000 miles 
(100,000km) of long-distance highway 
travel.
The BMW Maintenance System 
includes the Engine Oil Service and 
Inspections I and II.
Determining the maintenance intervals 
according to the actual use of the 
vehicle covers every kind of operating 
situation. However, drivers who cover 
only extremely short distances – 
substantially less than 6,200 miles 
(10,000 km) annually – should still have 
the engine oil changed at least every 
2 years, as it continues to age regard-
less of whether the vehicle is used on a 
regular basis.
Service and Warranty Information 
Booklet (US models)/Warranty 
and Service Guide Booklet (Cana-
dian models)
For additional information on required 
maintenance intervals and procedures, 
please refer to the Service and 
Warranty Information Booklet (US 
models), or the Warranty and Service 
Guide Booklet (Canadian models).
As a precaution against corrosion, it is 
advisable to have the body checked for 
damage from rocks or gravel at the 
same time, depending upon operating 
conditions.
We recommend that you refer all 
maintenance and repair opera-
tions to your BMW center.
Be sure that all maintenance work is 
confirmed in the Service and Warranty 
Information Booklet (US models), or in 
the Warranty and Service Guide 
Booklet (Canadian models). These 
entries confirm that your vehicle has 
benefitted from regular maintenance, 
and are also required for warranty 
claims.
