Conventional systems rely solely on  
distance traveled to determine when  
service is due. The BMW Maintenance  
System, on the other hand, began many  
years ago to take the actual conditions  
under which the vehicle is driven into  
consideration. After all, different drivers  
can accumulate mileage in very differ-  
ent ways.
