The current service status is automatically saved

in the vehicle’s ignition key. The Service Advisor

at your BMW center has a device called a key

reader. When your Service Advisor inserts your

key into the key reader, all pertinent vehicle and

servicing data will be available, and a customized

maintenance checklist is printed out based on

the specific operations called for by the

Condition Based Service.

Special Note – Maintenance Intervals

The maintenance requirements for your vehicle

are determined dynamically by the Condition

Based Service (CBS) system. The maintenance

items stated herein reflect the latest information

available at the time of the printing of this

Booklet, and are subject to change. The most

current maintenance recommendations are

available from your authorized BMW center.

The completion of certain subsequent

maintenance items or services, as required by

the BMW New Vehicle Limited Warranty, will be

specified at intervals computed by the BMW

Condition Based Service system as follows:

䉯 Oil Service: Engine oil should be changed with

the engine at operating temperature

All 2012 model year 7 Series vehicles are

factory-filled with BMW High Performance

Synthetic oils. We recommend BMW High

Performance 5W-30 Synthetic Oil (BMW part

number 07 51 0 017 866) for regular scheduled

engine oil changes.

BMW recommends that you check your engine

oil level whenever you add fuel to your vehicle. If

you need to add oil between oil changes and

BMW High Performance Synthetic Oil is

unavailable, you may top up the oil level with one

of the following approved synthetic oils. For

information on checking your engine oil level,

refer to your vehicle’s Owner’s Manual.

The synthetic oils listed below meet BMW’s

Long-life rating LL-01:

䉯 Castrol Syntec European Formula SAE 0W-30

䉯 Mobil 1 SAE 0W-40

䉯 Pennzoil Platinum European Formula Ultra

SAE 5W-30

䉯 Valvoline SynPower SAE 5W-30

The choice of the right SAE grade is based on

the climatic conditions in the region in which you

normally drive your BMW. To best determine

which SAE grade is best suited for your vehicle,

contact an authorized BMW center.

If you are unable to obtain BMW High

Performance Synthetic Oil or an approved

synthetic oil from the list above, use only a

synthetic oil with an API rating of SM or higher.

The following maintenance services must be

performed at the mileage/time stated (time

intervals begin from the vehicle’s production

date):

䉯 Brake Fluid Service: Change brake fluid every

two years, or when specified by CBS.

䉯 Oxygen Sensor Service: The oxygen sensor

deteriorates strictly on a mileage basis and

must therefore be replaced every

120,000 miles to maximize vehicle fuel

economy and minimize exhaust pollution.

䉯 Spark Plug Service (not shown in CBS).

Replace at the following intervals:

– ALPINA B7: 30,000 miles or at every 2nd

Engine Oil Service

– 740i, 740Li: 45,000 miles or at every 3rd
