Maintenance System SULEV (PZEV) Models
The BMW Maintenance System has been de-
vised with the following objectives: to maximize
vehicle safety, reliability, and resale value by mini-
mizing breakdowns resulting from wear, and mini-
mizing cost and inconvenience by computing
maintenance intervals based upon the specific
manner in which each individual vehicle is driven.

Maintenance intervals on motor vehicles
have conventionally been specified based
upon accumulated mileage. However, the
type of driving conditions has a major in-
fluence on routine maintenance require-
ments; distance traveled is only one of
the significant factors. A vehicle driven
for 50,000 miles of short trips in the city
with numerous cold starts, prolonged
periods of idling, stop-and-go driving, and
high engine speeds during acceleration
requires more frequent maintenance in-
tervals than a vehicle driven for 50,000
miles for long distances at low engine
speeds primarily at operating temperature.

The advanced technologies at BMW have led to
the development of the unique BMW service inter-
val indicator which computes the actual optimum
maintenance requirements based not only upon
the accumulated mileage, but taking into account
important factors such as engine coolant tem-
peratures, high or low engine speeds, short or long
trip driving, and number of vehicle starts. The main-
tenance interval may therefore be maximized with
considerable savings to owners of vehicles sub-
jected to light duty.

Whenever the ignition is switched on, the dis-

and the remaining distance until the service
should be performed. The distance is based on
your driving style.

If the maintenance interval has been exceeded,
a “—” symbol reminds you of the urgent need
for servicing. In the interests of road safety and

If the speedometer, tachometer or coolant tem-
perature gauge should develop a fault, the service
interval indicator will probably cease to operate cor-
rectly as well, since it depends on correct speed,
distance and temperature readings. The fault must
be located and rectified by a BMW center.
