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

Safety note
The data entered in the electronic service history
can also be viewed by the new vehicle owner af‐

of the manufacturer or another qualified Service
Partner or a specialist workshop can view the

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.
