BMW Maintenance Programs -
BMW Z4 Model 2004
Maintenance Programs are a benefit designed
to help reduce the cost of scheduled and
unscheduled maintenance.
2004 BMW Z4 model vehicles purchased
from any Authorized BMW center in the United
States or Puerto Rico are covered by Full
Maintenance for 48 months or 50,000 miles,
whichever occurs first. Coverage begins on the
date of first retail sale or the date the vehicle is
first placed in service as a demonstrator or
company vehicle, whichever is earlier.
Any authorized BMW center in the United
States or Puerto Rico will perform the
scheduled or additional maintenance services
on your vehicle at no expense to you. The
maintenance schedule intervals are based on
normal driving conditions and operation.
Should you request more frequent
maintenance service, the cost of these
services will not be covered by the
Maintenance Program.
Coverage
Full Maintenance covers all factory recom-
mended maintenance, as determined by the
service interval indicator. Additional items that
need replacement due to normal wear and
tear, and that are not covered by the original
New Vehicle Limited Warranty - such as brake
pads, brake rotors, and wiper blade inserts -
are included, provided wear and tear
exceeds BMW specifications. Any adjust-
ments required due to normal operating
conditions are also included. See pages 5-8
of this statement for additional information.
Maintenance 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.This BMW Service and Warranty Information
Statement should be presented to your BMW
center when maintenance is required. Your
BMW center will stamp this book documenting
the services or maintenance performed.

3 factory-equipped with a newly-developed
synthetic engine oil. At the time of the
printing of this booklet BMW High-Perfor-
mance Synthetic 5W-30 Oil (Part Number
07 51 0 017 866) and Mobil 1 5W-30 and
5W-40 oils are strongly recommended and
approved by BMW for the BMW Z4 models.
BMW is evaluating various synthetic oils for
inclusion in our list of recommended motor
oils.
It is recommended to check engine oil level
whenever fuel is added to the vehicle.
– 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 appli-
cable BMW emission system warranties.
– Spark Plug Service: Replace spark plugs
every 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.
For your convenience, you may also wish to
have your BMW center perform any necessary
operations to fulfill any state inspection
requirements in your area concurrent with themaintenance elements specified above during
other repairs.
Make sure that confirmation of maintenance
work is always entered in this Service and
Warranty Information Statement. You may need
this for any warranty claims that become
necessary, and later on as evidence that your
car has been given the correct and regular
maintenance that justifies its resale or trade-in
value.
BMW has applied the most modern
technological advances not only to the design
and production of your vehicle, but also to
computing of the optimum maintenance
interval for your type of operations and driving
style. Your BMW center has made a substantial
investment in unique BMW special service
tools to enable his BMW factory trained service
technicians to perform quality repairs on your
BMW in minimal time. He/she looks forward to
serving your every service need and to help
maximize your satisfaction with your BMW, its
longevity, and resale value.

Unscheduled Maintenance
Only use fuels advertised to have adequate
detergency and low alcohol content. Use of
fuels with insufficient detergent and/or excess
alcohol can cause driveability problems that
necessitate cleaning intake valves and fuel
injection valves, and, when applicable,
adjusting the engine idle. We suggest having
this work performed by your authorized BMW
center, perhaps while regular maintenance is
performed. Your BMW center can also recom-
mend a gasoline additive that will provide
sufficient detergency. While this recommended
unscheduled maintenance is not required in
order to maintain the emission warranty,
cleaning of intake valves or, when applicable,
fuel injection valves, or adjustment of engine
idle, necessitated by use of inappropriate fuel,
is not covered by warranty because no defect
in material or workmanship or component
failure is involved.
Special Note
Maintenance items and schedules stated
herein reflect the combined recommendations
for all model 2004 BMWs, and are subject to
change. The most current maintenance
recommendations are available from your
authorized BMW center.
