– Inspection I: Major vehicle maintenance
as specified in the following pages under
Inspection I.
– Inspection II: Additional major vehicle
maintenance as specified in the following
pages under Inspection II.The following maintenance elements must
be performed at the mileage/time stated
(time intervals begin from the vehicle’s
production date):
– Brake Fluid Service: Change brake fluid
every two years.
– Oxygen Sensor Service: The oxygen sensor
deteriorates strictly on a mileage basis and
must therefore be replaced every 100,000
miles to maximize vehicle fuel economy
and minimize exhaust pollution. The
replacement of the oxygen sensor is
required under the terms of the applicable
BMW emission system warranties.
– Spark Plug Service: The X5 is equipped
with platinum-tipped spark plugs. These
allow a longer service life than conven-

100,000 miles.
– Automatic Transmission Service: Change
ATF every 100,000 miles.
The engine coolant has a lifetime rating and
does not need to be changed.

hours, your SAV will be transported to a
secure location and transported to the
nearest authorized BMW SAV center on the
next business day.If you request that the SAV be taken to a
location other than the nearest authorized BMW
SAV center, any additional expense will be your
responsibility.

to a different BMW SAV center as long as it is
within 50 additional miles of the "nearest" BMW
SAV center.
Towing requests for SAV disabled because of
casualty, fire, act of God, or violation of law
(federal, state or local) are accepted at the
expense of the owner/driver.

through your own arrangements, you must
contact BMW Roadside Assistance for prior
authorization and instructions on claim
procedures. All claims must be submitted
within sixty (60) days of the disablement or
occurrence, accompanied by the original
receipts. Claims received after that time period
may not be honored and are subject to the full
discretion of BMW Roadside Assistance. If
BMW Roadside Assistance is not contacted for
"prior" authorization, the maximum coverage for
towing situations is $100.00.
