BMW maintenance system
The BMW maintenance system supports the 
preservation of the traffic and operating safety 
of your BMW. The service schedule also 
includes operations related to the vehicle's 
comfort and convenience features, such as 
replacement of the filters for the inside air. 
The ultimate objective is to ensure economical 
maintenance by providing the ideal service for 
your vehicle.
Should the day come when you decide to sell 
your BMW, a complete  dealer service history 
will prove to be an asset of inestimable value.
CBS Condition Based Service
Sensors and special algo rithms take the differ-
ent driving conditions of your BMW into 
account. Condition Based Service uses this to 
determine the current  and future service 
requirements. By letting you define a service 
and maintenance regimen  that reflects your 
own individual requirements, the system builds 
the basis for trouble-free driving.
You can set the Contro l Display to show 
remaining distances and times of selected 
maintenance intervals and legally mandated 
deadlines, refer to page 82:
> Engine oil
> Brake pads, front and rear separately
> Brake fluid
> Vehicle check >
Legally mandated inspections depending 
on local regulations
Service data in remote control
Your vehicle stores the information required for 
maintenance continuously  in the remote con-
trol during driving. After accessing the data 
stored in the remote co ntrol, your BMW Service 
Advisor can suggest precisely the right array of 
service procedures for yo ur own individual vehi-
cle. You should therefore hand over the remote 
control you last used to drive to the BMW Ser-
vice Advisor when you take your vehicle in for 
service.
Make sure the date is  set correctly, refer 
to page 89, otherwise the effectiveness 
of CBS Condition Based Service is not 
ensured. <
