BMW maintenance system
Therefore, hand the service advisor the vehicle
key with which the vehicle was driven most
recently.
Principle
The maintenance system provides service no-
tifications and thereby provides support in
maintaining road safety and the operational
reliability of the vehicle.
Stationary periods
Stationary periods during which the vehicle
battery was disconnected are not taken into
account.
General information
In some cases, scopes and intervals of the
maintenance system may vary according to
the country version. Replacement work, spare
parts, fuels and lubricants, and wear materials
are calculated separately. Further information
is available from an authorized service center
or another qualified service center or repair
shop.
In such cases, have any time-dependent main-
tenance measures, e.g., brake fluid, engine oil,
and microfilter/activated-charcoal filter checks,
performed by an authorized service center or
another qualified service center or repair shop.

Models
Condition Based Service
Please consult your Maintenance Booklet for
additional information on the performance of
service and maintenance work.
Principle
Condition Based Service determines the main-
tenance recommendation using sensors and
special algorithms that take into account the
operating conditions of the vehicle.
The manufacturer of the vehicle recommends
that maintenance and repair be performed by
an authorized service center or another quali-
fied service center or repair shop. Records of
regular maintenance and repair work should
be retained.
The system makes it possible to adapt the
maintenance measures to your user profile.

NOTICE
▷
The warning light illuminates:
The socket for Onboard Diagnosis is an in-
tricate component intended to be used in
conjunction with specialized equipment to
check the vehicle’s primary emissions sys-
tem. Improper use of the socket for Onboard
Diagnosis, or contact with the socket for On-
board Diagnosis for other than its intended
purpose, can cause vehicle malfunctions and
creates risks of personal and property dam-
age. Given the foregoing, it is strongly rec-
ommended that access to the socket for On-
board Diagnosis be limited to an authorized
service center or another qualified service
center or repair shop, or other persons that
have the specialized training and equipment
for purposes of properly utilizing the socket
for Onboard Diagnosis.
Worsening emissions, e.g., due to
an incorrectly fitted fuel cap. Have
the vehicle checked as soon as pos-
sible.
▷
The warning light flashes under certain cir-
cumstances:
This indicates that there is excessive misfir-
ing in the engine.
Reduce the vehicle speed and have the ve-
hicle checked immediately; otherwise, se-
rious engine misfiring within a brief pe-
riod can seriously damage emission control
components, in particular the catalytic con-
verter.
Have the vehicle checked by an authorized
service center or another qualified service cen-
ter or repair shop.
