Maintenance System

The BMW Maintenance System has beendevised with the following objectives: tomaximize vehicle safety, reliability, and resalevalue by minimizing breakdowns resultingfrom wear, and minimizing cost and inconven-ience by computing maintenance intervals

based upon the specific manner in whicheach individual vehicle is driven.

Maintenance intervals on motor vehicles haveconventionally been specified based uponaccumulated mileage. However, driving condi-tions have a major influence on routinemaintenance requirements; distance traveledis only one of the significant factors. A vehicledriven for 50,000 miles of short trips in thecity with numerous cold starts, prolongedperiods of idling, stop-and-go driving, and

high engine speeds during accelerationrequires more frequent maintenance intervalsthan a vehicle driven for 50,000 miles for longdistances at low engine speeds primarily atoperating temperature.

The advanced technologies at BMW have ledto the development of the unique BMWCondition Based Service System (CBS)which computes the actual optimum mainte-nance requirements based not only upon theaccumulated mileage, but taking into account

important factors such as high or low enginespeeds, 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 ServiceInterval Indicator System. Sensors andsophisticated algorithms take even moredetailed account of the various conditions ofvehicle use.

The remaining times for selected mainte-nance tasks as well as any legally prescribeddates 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 futuremaintenance requirements. This data canalso be read from the vehicle key by yourBMW Service Advisor and used to proposethe optimum scope of maintenance.

Have maintenance and repair work performedby your BMW center. Make sure that themaintenance work is stamped in this Serviceand Warranty Information Statement. Theseentries are the evidence of regular mainte-nance of your vehicle and a requirement forwarranty claims.

Disconnecting the battery during periodsof long-term storage will interrupt the

calculation of time-based services. Have allitems requiring time-based maintenance,such as brake fluid and possibly also theengine oil and microfilter, brought up to dateby your BMW center. Also see the section onbattery care on page 16 of this statement.

The vehicle’s current service status is auto-matically saved in the vehicle’s ignition key.The Service Advisor at your BMW center hasa device called a key reader. When yourService Advisor inserts your key into the keyreader, all pertinent vehicle and servicingdata will be available, and a customizedmaintenance checklist is printed out based onthe specific operations called for by theCondition Based Service.

The performance of certain subsequentmaintenance elements, as required by theBMW New Vehicle Limited Warranty, will bespecified at intervals computed by the BMWService Interval Indicator as follows:

– Oil Service: Engine oil should be changedwith the engine at operating temperature.Note: Change oil at least once a year.

All 2006 model year 325i and 330i arefactory-filled with BMW High PerformanceSynthetic oils. At the time of the printing ofthis booklet, the following oils are stronglyrecommended and approved by BMW:

• BMW High Performance 5W-30 SyntheticOil (BMW part number 07 51 0 017 866)

• Mobil 1 5W-30

• Mobil 1 5W-40

BMW is evaluating various synthetic oils forinclusion in our list of recommended engineoils. For the most current list of synthetic oils,please contact your BMW center, or callBMW of North America, Inc. at 1-800-831-1117. You can also obtain this informationfrom our website, www.bmwusa.com/.

If you need to add oil between oil changes

and are unable to obtain BMW HighPerformance Synthetic Oil, Mobil 1 or anotherspecial oil on the list, use a synthetic oil withan API rating of SH or higher.

The following maintenance elements must beperformed at the mileage/time stated (timeintervals begin from the vehicle’s productiondate):

- Brake Fluid Service: Change brake fluidevery two years, or when specified by CBS.

- Oxygen Sensor Service: The oxygen

sensor deteriorates strictly on a mileagebasis and must therefore be replaced asfollows to maximize vehicle fuel economyand minimize exhaust pollution: 120,000miles.

- Spark Plug Service: Replace at 100,000miles, or when specified by CBS.

For your convenience, you may also wish tohave your BMW center perform any neces-sary operations to fulfill any state inspectionrequirements in your area concurrent with themaintenance elements specified above duringother repairs.

Make sure that confirmation of maintenance

work is always entered in this Service andWarranty Information Booklet. You may needthis for any warranty claims that becomenecessary, and later on as evidence that yourcar has been given the correct and regularmaintenance that justifies its resale or trade-in value.

BMW has applied the most modern techno-logical advances not only to the design andproduction of your vehicle, but also tocomputing of the optimum maintenance inter-val for your type of operations and drivingstyle. Your BMW center has made a substan-tial investment in unique BMW special servicetools to enable his BMW factory trainedservice technicians to perform quality repairson your BMW in minimal time.

Battery Care

If your car is driven only for short distances ofless than 10 miles over a prolonged period oftime, without an occasional drive at highwayspeeds, the engine’s charging system will notmaintain the battery. Insufficient use of thevehicle could result in short term starting

problems and in the long term could damagethe battery.

In case the car is not operated for severalweeks it is advisable to:

a) slide battery switch to “Off” position. Referto “Battery Switch” in vehicle owner’smanual.

b) consider using a proper trickle charger,following the charger manufacturer’sinstructions, to maintain the battery’s state

of charge; orc) consult your BMW center regarding battery

removal. Once removed, the battery mustbe charged and stored in a cool, dry placewhere it can be protected from freezing. Ifthe battery will be stored for over 3months, it must be recharged every 3months, or else it will become damagedand useless.

Please consult with your BMW center forfurther guidance and information.

Corrosion Protection

Extensive corrosion protection measuresimplemented by BMW now make it possibleto offer a twelve-year unlimited milage anti-corrosion warranty against rust perforation onyour vehicle provided that the vehicle ismaintained in accordance with the provisions

of the New Vehicle Limited Warranty asoutlined in the Warranty Section of thisBooklet (page 32).

The major degree of corrosion protection isdue to the electrophoretic dip paintingprocess which cathodically deposits paintparticles on all body parts, attracting paintparticles into the minutest cavities or seams.Body parts are designed to provide optimumcorrosion protection.

During manufacture, exterior body partsreceive an additional corrosion protectioncoat. Hood, trunk, doors and other bodyparts are coated with PVC and sealed fromthe outside.

All floor panels receive a resilient coating ofPVC for maximum protection against damagedue to stones, etc.

Corrosion protection materials tested overmany years are applied to the surfaces ofcavities and to the entire underside of thevehicle during and after assembly.

Requirements for maintaining the 12-yearunlimited mileage anti-corrosion warranty areoutlined in the Warranty Section of thisBooklet (page 34).

Restoring corrosion protection

Please take care that anti-corrosion materialis replaced when your car is repaired afterbody or chassis damage.

BMW will not accept any liability for any

parts and accessories not approved byBMW.

Underbody maintenance

The underbody has to be cleaned at leastonce a year, in spring, with plain water inorder to remove mud, chemical sedimentsand other deposits. If those materials are nremoved, corrosion (rust) will occur on metacomponents.

Your BMW center will do this anti-corrosionservice for you.

WARNING

Do not apply additional undercoating or rusproofing on or near the exhaust manifold,exhaust pipes, catalytic converter or heatshields. During driving, the substance usedfor undercoating could overheat and cause fire.
