Emission Control
Maintenance Schedule
The maintenance schedule as shown is
required for the proper functioning of the
emission control systems for optimum vehicle
performance and fuel economy.

Emission Control Components
Oxygen sensorReplace at intervals
of 100,000 miles
Oxygen Sensor Service: The oxygen sensor
deteriorates strictly on a mileage basis and
must therefore be replaced to maximize
vehicle fuel economy and minimize exhaust
pollution.
Battery Care
If your car is driven only for short distances of
less than 10 miles over a prolonged period of
time, without an occasional drive at highway
speeds, the engine’s charging system will not
maintain the battery. Insufficient use of the
vehicle could result in short term starting
problems and in the long term could damage
the battery.
In case the car is not operated for several
weeks it is advisable to:
a) slide battery switch to “Off”position. Refer
to “Battery Switch”in vehicle owner’s
manual.
b) consider using a proper trickle charger,
following the charger manufacturer’s
instructions, to maintain the battery’s state
of charge; or
c) consult your BMW center regarding battery
removal. Once removed, the battery must
be charged and stored in a cool, dry place
where it can be protected from freezing. If
the battery will be stored for over 3
months, it must be recharged every 3
months, or else it will become damaged
and useless.
Please consult with your BMW center for
further guidance and information.

Corrosion Protection
Extensive corrosion protection measures
implemented by BMW now make it possible
to offer a six-year limited anti-corrosion
warranty against rust perforation on your
vehicle provided that the vehicle is maintained
in accordance with the provisions of the New
Vehicle Limited Warranty as outlined in the
Warranty Section of this Statement (page 30).
The major degree of corrosion protection is
due to the electrophoretic dip painting
process which cathodically deposits paint
particles on all body parts, attracting paint
particles into the minutest cavities or seams.
Body parts are designed to provide optimum
corrosion protection.
During manufacture, exterior body parts
receive an additional corrosion protection
coat. Hood, trunk, doors and other body
parts are coated with PVC and sealed from
the outside.
All floor panels receive a resilient coating of
PVC for maximum protection against damage
due to stones, etc.
Corrosion protection materials tested over
many years are applied to the surfaces of
cavities and to the entire underside of the
vehicle during and after assembly.
Requirements for maintaining the six-year
limited anti-corrosion warranty are outlined in
the Warranty Section of this Statement (page
32).
Restoring corrosion protection
Please take care that anti-corrosion material
is replaced when your car is repaired after
body or chassis damage.
BMW will not accept any liability for any
parts and accessories not approved by
BMW.
Underbody maintenance
The underbody has to be cleaned at least
once a year, in spring, with plain water in
order to remove mud, chemical sediments
and other deposits. If those materials are not
removed, corrosion (rust) will occur on metal
components.
Your BMW center will do this anti-corrosion
service for you.
WARNING
Do not apply additional undercoating or rust-
proofing on or near the exhaust manifold,
exhaust pipes, catalytic converter or heat
shields. During driving, the substance used
for undercoating could overheat and cause a
fire.
