Vehicle features and options
Condition Based Service CBS
This chapter describes all standard, country-spe‐
cific and optional features offered with the series.
It also describes features that are not necessarily
available in your vehicle, for instance, due to the
selected options or country versions. This also
applies to safety-related functions and systems.
When using these functions and systems, the
applicable laws and regulations must be ob‐
served.
Concept
Sensors and special algorithms take into account
the driving conditions of the vehicle. CBS uses
these to calculate the need for maintenance.
The system makes it possible to adapt the
amount of maintenance corresponding to your
user profile.
General information
Information on service notifications, refer to
page 120, can be displayed on the Control Dis‐
play.
BMW maintenance system
The maintenance system provides service notifi‐
cations and thereby provides support in main‐
taining road safety and the operational reliability
of the vehicle.
Service data in the vehicle key
Information on the service notifications is contin‐
uously stored in the vehicle key. The service
center can read this data out and suggest a
maintenance scope for the vehicle.
In some cases, scopes and intervals of the main‐
tenance system may vary according to the coun‐
try version. Replacement work, spare parts, fuels
and lubricants, and wear materials are calculated
separately. Further information is available from a
dealer's service center or another qualified serv‐
ice center or repair shop.
Therefore, hand the service advisor the vehicle
key with which the vehicle was driven most re‐
cently.
Storage periods
Storage periods during which the vehicle battery
was disconnected are not taken into account.
Safety information
If this occurs, have a dealer's service center or
another qualified service center or repair shop
update the time-dependent maintenance proce‐
dures, such as checking brake fluid and, if neces‐
sary, changing the engine oil and the microfilter/
activated-charcoal filter.
DANGER
Improperly performed work, in particular main‐
tenance and repair on the high-voltage system,
can lead to electric shock. There is a risk of in‐
jury, fire and danger to life.
Have work on the vehicle, in particular mainte‐
nance and repair, performed by an authorized
BMW i dealer’s service center or another quali‐
fied service center or repair shop.
