BMW Full Maintenance Program
– 2006 750i, 750Li, 760i, 760Li
BMW Full Maintenance Programs are a
benefit designed to help reduce the cost of
ownership.
2006 7 Series vehiclespurchased 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 sched-
uled maintenance services on your vehicle at
no expense to you. The maintenance sched-
ule 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
blade inserts - are included, provided wear
and tear exceeds BMW wear limits. Any
adjustments required due to normal operating
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.
This BMW Service and Warranty Information
Booklet should be presented to your BMW
center when maintenance is required. Your
BMW center will stamp this booklet
documenting the services or maintenance
performed.
Exclusions from coverage
- Items reimbursable under your New
Vehicle Limited Warranty.
- Gasoline.
- Windshield washer additive (except when
in conjunction with scheduled maintenance).
- Tires, wheel alignment, tire balance and
rotation.
- Wear and tear of soft trim items, such as:
seats, carpets, moldings, headliner, door
panels and all chrome trim.
- Damage detected when performing the
rust perforation inspection.
- Damage which results from negligence,
improper operation of the vehicle, wear and
tear or deterioration due to driving habits or
conditions, improper repair, environmental
influences, flood, accident or fire damage,
road salt corrosion, alteration, installation of
non-BMW accessories, or use of improper,
poor quality or contaminated fuel.
- Altered or unreadable Vehicle Identification
Number (VIN) or odometer irregularities or
vehicles where the true mileage cannot be
determined.
- Maintenance or repair after the vehicle is
deemed a total loss.
- Maintenance or repairs performed by other
than an Authorized BMW center within the
United States or Puerto Rico.
- Vehicles used in competitive events.

Maintenance System
The BMW Maintenance System has been
devised with the following objectives: to
maximize vehicle safety, reliability, and resale
value by minimizing breakdowns resulting
from wear, and minimizing cost and inconven-
ience by computing maintenance intervals
based upon the specific manner in which
each individual vehicle is driven.
Maintenance intervals on motor vehicles have
conventionally been specified based upon
accumulated mileage. However, driving condi-
tions have 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 frequent 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
Condition Based Service System (CBS)
which computes the actual optimum mainte-
nance requirements based not only upon the
accumulated mileage, but taking into account
important factors such as high or low engine
speeds, short or long trip driving, and condi-
tion of the engine oil and brake pads.
The BMW Maintenance System
Condition Based Service CBS
CBS is a further development of the Service
Interval Indicator System. Sensors and
sophisticated algorithms take even more
detailed account of the various conditions of
vehicle use.
The remaining times for selected mainte-
nance tasks as well as any legally prescribed
dates are displayed to you individually:

Engine oil

Brakes – front and rear separately

Microfilter

Brake fluid

Spark plugs

Vehicle check

Required State Inspection(s)
CBS thus determines the current and future
maintenance requirements. This data can
also be read from the vehicle key by your
BMW Service Advisor and used to propose
the optimum scope of maintenance.
Have maintenance and repair work performed
by your BMW center. Make sure that the
maintenance work is stamped in this Service
and Warranty Information Statement. These
entries are the evidence of regular mainte-
nance of your vehicle and a requirement for
warranty claims.

Disconnecting the battery during periods
of long-term storage will interrupt the
calculation of time-based services. Have all
items requiring time-based maintenance,
such as brake fluid and coolant, and possibly
also the engine oil and microfilter, brought up
to date by your BMW center. Also see the
section on battery care on page 16 of this
statement.

Green lamps
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 7 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, Inc. at 1-800-831-
1117. You can also obtain this information
from our website, www.bmwusa.com/.
It is recommended to check engine oil level
whenever fuel is added to the 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 at
the following intervals to maximize vehicle
fuel economy and minimize exhaust pollu-
tion:
750i, 750Li: 120,000 miles.
760i, 760Li: 100,000 miles.
- Spark Plug Service: Replace at 100,000
miles, or when specified by CBS.
