Maintenance
BMW Maintenance System
The BMW Maintenance System helps 
maintain your vehicle's road safety and 
operational safety. Comfort-related 
aspects, such as the timely change of 
filters for the air inside the vehicle, are 
taken into consideration. The goal is to 
optimize maintenance with respect to 
low total cost of ownership.
If you should sell your BMW one day, 
consistent service and maintenance will 
prove to your advantage. 
Service interval display
The service interval display shows you 
when an oil service, an inspection – 
always alternating between I and II – or 
a brake fluid change is due. The special 
feature is that the service intervals are 
calculated according to your BMW's 
individual driving conditions instead of 
from fixed mileage increments.
The technology developed for this 
takes your personal driving style into 
account, as well as your BMW's driving 
conditions. After all, short-distance 
driving, i.e. frequent cold starts, or driv-
ing off at high engine speeds, affects 
your BMW differently from long-dis-
tance driving with the engine at consis-
tent operating temperature.
Special feature regarding engine 
oil change
The calculation of the service intervals 
covers practically every kind of operat-
ing situation. If you drive very rarely, 
however, you should have the oil 
changed at least every two years, since 
engine oil deteriorates over time 
regardless of use.

As a precaution against corrosion, if 
your vehicle is exposed to potential 
damage from unimproved road sur-
faces we suggest that you have the 
body checked for damage from stone 
chips and gravel at the same time.
