Condition Based Service,

Sensors and advanced algorithms monitor the  
conditions in which your vehicle is used. Con‐  
dition Based Service uses this information to  
calculate the maintenance requirements.  
This chapter describes all the standard equip‐  
ment, national-market-specific equipment and  
optional extras offered in the model series.  
Consequently, you will find that it contains de‐  
scriptions of items not available in a particular  
vehicle on account of a combination of options,  
for example, or the constraints applying to cer‐  
tain national-market versions. This also applies  
to safety-relevant functions and systems.  
The system thus enables adaptation of the  
scope of maintenance to the individual usage  
profile.  
The detailed Service requirement, see  
page 69, can be shown on the instrument clus‐  
ter.  
Country-specific regulations must be observed  
when using the corresponding functions and  
systems.  
Service data in the remote control  
Information on maintenance requirements is  
continually saved in the remote control. The  
Service centre reads out this data and then  
suggests a set of maintenance routines opti‐  
mised on this basis.  
BMW Maintenance System  
This is why you should hand over the remote  
control that was last used for driving to your  
service advisor.  
Periods out of use  
Immobilisation periods with the battery discon‐  
nected are not taken into account.  
The maintenance system points out the nec‐  
essary maintenance measures and so sup‐  
ports you in maintaining the road and opera‐  
tional safety of the vehicle.  
Updating the time-dependent maintenance  
scope such a brake fluid and any engine oil and  
microfilter or activated carbon filter can be  
done by a Service centre.  
The work involved and the intervals at which it  
is carried out may vary from country to country.  
Replacement work, spare parts, operating ma‐  
terials and wear material are calculated sepa‐  
rately. Please contact your Service centre for  
further information.  
Service Booklet  
Have maintenance and repair work performed  
by your Service centre. Have the Service  
Booklet stamped to confirm that maintenance  
work has been carried out. The entries in it  
serve as proof of regular maintenance.

The manufacturer of your vehicle recommends  
handing the vehicle in at a take-back point  
nominated by the BMW Group. The regula‐  
tions concerning the returning of end-of-life  
vehicles may vary from country to country.  
Your Service centre will be glad to provide in‐  
formation.  
Maintenance  
Your vehicle needs only routine maintenance  
in order to keep exhaust emissions to the level  
specified.

Socket for on-board diagnosis  
The socket for on-board diagnosis may  
only be used by the Service centre or a work‐  
shop that works as required by the vehicle  
manufacture and with appropriately trained  
staff or by other authorised persons. Other‐  
wise, using it may result in vehicle malfunc‐  
tions.◀  
There is an OBD socket on the driver's side for  
checking components that critically influence  
the composition of the exhaust emissions.
