The BMW Maintenance Program -
2006 BMW M Coupe and Roadster
The BMW Maintenance Program is a benefit
designed to help reduce the cost of scheduled
and unscheduled maintenance.
2006 BMW M Coupe and Roadster models
purchased from any Authorized BMW center in
the United States or Puerto Rico are covered by
The BMW Maintenance Program 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 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 fre-
quent maintenance service, the cost of these
services will not be covered by the Mainte-
nance Program.
Coverage
The BMW Maintenance Program covers allfactory recommended maintenance, as deter-
mined 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 adjustments required due to
normal operating conditions are also included.
See page s5-8of this booklet 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
Booklet should be presented to your BMW cen-
ter when maintenance is required. Your BMW
center will stamp this book documenting the ser-
vices or maintenance performed.

BMW recommends that you check engine oil
level whenever fuel is added to your vehicle.
– Inspection I: Major vehicle maintenance as specified in the following pages under Inspec-
tion I.
– Inspection II: Additional major vehicle mainte- nance as specified in the following pages under
Inspection II.
The following maintenance elements must be
performed at the mileage/time stated (time inter-
vals 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 war-
ranties.
– Spark Plug Service: Replace spark plugs at every Inspection 2.
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 opera-
tions 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 War-
ranty 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 technologi-
cal advances not only to the design and produc-
tion 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 ser-
vice need and to help maximize your satisfaction
with your BMW, its longevity, and resale value.
Quality Certification I
For a detailed list of items inspected, refer to the
Quality Certification I form provided to the Owner
at time of delivery. A copy of the form is on file at
the selling BMW center.
Confirmation Stamp For 1200
Mile Service
The engine in your BMW M Coupe and Roadster
is a race-bred engine design which includes
increased power output and maximum engine
speeds compared to conventional BMW Z4
engines. The increased power output also affects
other major drivetrain components such as the
transmission and the rear axle differential. The
1200 Mile Service requires changing the oil in
the engine and both the transmission and the
differential.
