Maintenance Upgrade Option

information and availability on the optional Main-

tenance Program Upgrade for coverage up to

6 years and 100,000 miles.

Intervals

Time intervals should be followed using the

maintenance interval as indicated by the BMW

Service Indicator lights on the check control

panel in the dashboard.

Maintenance intervals on motor vehicles have

conventionally been specified based upon accu-

mulated mileage. However, the type of driving

conditions has a major influence on routine

maintenance requirements; 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 fre-

quent maintenance intervals 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

interval 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 temperatures, high or low engine

speeds, short or long trip driving, and number of

vehicle starts. The maintenance interval may

therefore be maximized with considerable sav-

ings to owners of vehicles subjected to light

duty.

This BMW Service and Warranty Information

Booklet should be presented to your BMW cen-

ter when maintenance is required. Your BMW

center will stamp this book documenting the

services or maintenance performed.

Maintenance Program

The Service Interval Indicator consists of a

mileage reading, and the inscriptions “OIL SER-

VICE” and “INSPECTION”.

Whenever the ignition is switched on, the dis-

play shows the next scheduled type of service

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

reliability, you should avoid driving your BMW

when the “--” symbol is showing, and have

the essential maintenance work performed with-

out delay.

After each maintenance is performed the ser-

vice indicator is reset in order to compute the

next service interval.

If the Service Interval Indicator displays an illogi-

cal reading, or if there is no display, consult a

BMW center.

If the speedometer, tachometer or coolant tem-

perature gauge should develop a fault, the ser-

vice interval indicator will probably cease to

operate correctly as well, since it depends on

correct speed, distance and temperature read-

ings. The fault must be located and rectified by

a BMW center.

A detailed list of all maintenance operations

included in each of the elements of the BMW

Maintenance Program is found on pages4-9.

These elements are as follows:
