General  
Information on service requirements, see  
Vehicle equipment  
page 135, can be shown on the Control Display.  
This chapter describes all standard, country-spe‐  
cific and special equipment available for the  
model series. It may therefore describe equip‐  
ment which is not installed in your vehicle, for ex‐  
ample on account of the optional equipment se‐  
lected or the country variant. This also applies to  
safety-relevant functions and systems. Please  
comply with the relevant laws and regulations  
when using the corresponding functions and  
systems.  
Service data in the vehicle key  
Information on maintenance requirements is  
continuously stored in the vehicle key. The Serv‐  
ice Partner can read out this data and suggest a  
programme of maintenance for your vehicle.  
It is therefore important that you give the service  
advisor the vehicle key that you last used to drive  
the vehicle.  
Periods out of use  
Periods when the vehicle is out of use with its  
battery disconnected are not taken into account.  
BMW Maintenance System  
The maintenance system indicates what mainte‐  
nance measures are required and thereby assists  
in maintaining the road safety and operational  
safety of the vehicle.  
In such cases, have any time-dependent mainte‐  
nance procedures, for example those concerning  
the brake fluid and, where applicable, the engine  
oil and microfilter/activated charcoal filter, upda‐  
ted by a Service Partner of the manufacturer or  
another qualified Service Partner or a specialist  
workshop.  
The exact work required and the maintenance in‐  
tervals may vary depending on the country var‐  
iant. Replacement work, spare parts, operating  
materials and wear materials are calculated sepa‐  
rately. Additional information is available from a  
Service Partner of the manufacturer or another  
qualified Service Partner or a specialist work‐  
shop.  
Service history  
Maintenance and repairs  
Have maintenance and repairs carried out by a  
Service Partner of the manufacturer or another  
qualified Service Partner or a specialist work‐  
shop.  
Condition Based Service  
CBS  
Principle  
Entries  
Sensors and special algorithms monitor the con‐  
ditions in which the vehicle is used. CBS uses  
this information to determine what maintenance  
is required.  
The maintenance work carried out is entered in  
the maintenance records and the vehicle data.  
As with a service booklet, the entries provide evi‐  
dence of regular maintenance.  
The system therefore allows the scope of the  
maintenance work to be adapted to the individual  
usage profile.  
If an entry is made in the electronic service his‐  
tory of the vehicle, service-relevant data is saved

both in the vehicle and in the central IT systems  
of BMW AG, Munich.  
Safety note  
The data entered in the electronic service history  
can also be viewed by the new vehicle owner af‐  
ter a change of vehicle owner. A Service Partner  
of the manufacturer or another qualified Service  
Partner or a specialist workshop can view the  
data entered in the electronic service history.  
NOTE  
Incorrect use of the OBD on-board diagnosis  
socket can result in malfunctions in the vehicle.  
There is a risk of material damage. Only have  
service and maintenance work involving the  
OBD on-board diagnosis socket carried out by  
a Service Partner of the manufacturer or an‐  
other qualified Service Partner or a specialist  
workshop or other authorised persons. Only  
connect devices that have been tested and  
found to be safe for use with the OBD on-  
board diagnosis socket.  
Objection  
The vehicle owner can contact a Service Partner  
of the manufacturer or another qualified Service  
Partner or a specialist workshop to lodge an ob‐  
jection to entries being made in the electronic  
service history and to associated storage in the  
vehicle and transfer to the vehicle manufacturer  
of any data relating to his/her time as the vehicle  
owner. In such cases, no entries will be made in  
the electronic service history of the vehicle.
