Maintenance The BMW Maintenance
System has been devised with the following objectives: maximize vehicle
safety, reliability, and minimize breakdowns resulting from wear, at minimum
cost. The Service Interval Light system will indicate when you are due
for service based on your driving habits.
Service
Interval Light System
The Service
Indicator consists of five green, one yellow, and one red light and the
inscriptions: "Oil service" and "Inspection" located on your instrument
panel.
Whenever the
ignition is switched on, up to five green lights will light up, then depending
on vehicle use and driving style the green lights will systematically turn
off one by one. As you approach the last green light, this is an indication
that the next service is almost due and helps you to make any necessary
arrangements on a timely basis.
When the last
green light turns off, a yellow light appears with one of the inscriptions
(Oil Service or Inspection). This indicates that your next maintenance
service is due immediately.
If you continue
to delay maintenance service, the yellow light and red light appear together
with one of the inscriptions (oil service or inspection). In the interest
of road safety and reliability you should avoid driving your BMW
and have the essential work performed without any further delay.
BMW Car Services Maintenance Service Interval Packages
At BMW Car Services, we take great care in following and exceeding BMW's maintenance
guidelines in order to maintain superior handling, ultimate performance,
and most importantly safety and reliability for you and your BMW. However
the real value of our service is our expertise and familiarity with the
problem areas, common failure points, and the practical service needs of
your particular BMW model.
Our Enhanced
Maintenance Service exceeds BMW's factory warranty requirements;
the additional services may be included in your service depending
upon the model year of your BMW. Prior to 1996, BMW included additional
services, however due to introduction of the scheduled maintenance service*
BMW lowered their maintenance guidelines. This upgrade in service will
extend your BMW's longevity and performance.
*(The newly
formed scheduled maintenance was included in the cost of the vehicle.)
Our Standard
Maintenance Service follows BMW's factory guidelines step by
step and meets all BMW factory warranty requirements. Please refer to your
owner's manual for a detailed description of these services for your model
year.
