Program – 2006 525i, 525xi,
530i, 530xi, 530xi Sports
Wagon, 550i
Full Maintenance Programs are a benefit
designed to help reduce the cost of owner-
ship.
2006 5 Series 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 demon-
strator or company vehicle, whichever is
earlier.
Any authorized BMW center in the United
States or Puerto Rico will perform the
scheduled maintenance services on your
vehicle at no expense to you. The mainte-
nance schedule intervals are based on
average 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 Maintenancecovers all factory recom-
mended maintenance, as determined by the
Condition Based Service System. 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
blades inserts - are included, provided wear
and tear exceeds BMW wear limits. Any
adjustments required due to normal operat-
ing conditions are also included. See pages
6-7 of this booklet for additional information.
Maintenance Intervals
Time intervals should be followed using the
maintenance interval as indicated by the
BMW Service Interval Display.

No service is currently required.
You can request more detailed information
on every entry.
Turn the controller to scroll through the list,
then confirm the selected entry. Confirm to exit the list.
The vehicle’s current service status is auto-
matically 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.
The performance of certain subsequent
maintenance elements, as required by the
BMW New Vehicle Limited Warranty, will be
specified at intervals computed by the BMW
Service Interval Indicator as follows:
– Oil Service: Engine oil should be changed
with the engine at operating temperature.
Note: Change oil at least once a year. All 2006 model year 5 Series are factory-
filled with BMW High Performance Synthetic
oils. At the time of the printing of this
booklet, the following oils are strongly
recommended and approved by BMW:
• BMW High Performance 5W-30 Synthetic Oil (BMW part number 07 51 0 017 866)
• Mobil 1 5W-30
• Mobil 1 5W-40
BMW is evaluating various synthetic oils for
inclusion in our list of recommended engine
oils. For the most current list of synthetic
oils, please contact your BMW center, or call
BMW of North America, LLC at 1-800-831-
1117. You can also obtain this information
from our website, www.bmwusa.com/.
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 are unable to obtain BMW
High Performance Synthetic Oil, Mobil 1 or
another special oil on the list, use a synthetic
oil with an API rating of SH or higher.
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, or when specified by CBS.
- Oxygen Sensor Service: The oxygen sensor deteriorates strictly on a mileage
basis and must therefore be replaced as
follows to maximize vehicle fuel economy
and minimize exhaust pollution: 120,000
miles
- Spark Plug Service: Replace at 100,000 miles, or when specified by CBS.

For your convenience, you may also wish to
have your BMW center perform any neces-
sary operations to fulfill any state inspection
requirements in your area concurrent with
the maintenance elements specified above
during other repairs.
Make sure that confirmation of maintenance
work is always entered in this Service and
Warranty Information Booklet. 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 techno-
logical 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.
