BMW Maintenance Program –
2004 745i, 745Li, 760Li
Maintenance Programs are a benefit
designed to help reduce the cost of owner-
ship.
2004 7 Series model vehiclespurchased
from any Authorized BMW center in the
United States or Puerto Rico are covered by
Full Maintenance for 48 months or 50,000
miles, whichever occurs first. Coverage
begins on the date of first retail sale or the
date the vehicle is first placed in service as a
demonstrator or company vehicle, whichever
is earlier.
Any authorized BMW center in the United
States or Puerto Rico will perform the sched-
uled maintenance services on your vehicle at
no expense to you. The maintenance sched-
ule intervals are based on average driving
conditions and operation.
Should you
request more frequent maintenance
service, the cost of these services will not
be covered by the Maintenance Program.

mended maintenance, as determined by the
Service Interval Indicator System. Additional

blade inserts - are included, provided wear
and tear exceeds BMW wear limits. Any

The vehicle’s current service status is auto-
matically saved in the vehicle’s ignition key.
The Service Advisor at your BMW center has
a device called a key reader. When your
Service Advisor inserts your key into the key
reader, all pertinent vehicle and servicing
data will be available, and a customized
maintenance checklist is printed out based on
the specific operations called for by the
Condition Based Service.
The performance of certain subsequent
maintenance elements, as required by the
BMW New Vehicle Limited Warranty, will be
specified at intervals computed by the BMW
Service Interval Indicator as follows:
– Oil Service: Engine oil should be changed
with the engine at operating temperature.
Note: Change oil at least once a year.All 2004 model year 7 Series are factory-
filled with BMW High Performance Synthetic
oils. At the time of the printing of this booklet,
the following oils are strongly recommended
and approved by BMW:
•BMW High Performance 5W-30 Synthetic
Oil (BMW part number 07 51 0 017 866)
•Mobil 1 5W-30
•Mobil 1 5W-40
BMW is evaluating various synthetic oils for
inclusion in our list of recommended engine
oils. For the most current list of synthetic oils,
please contact your BMW center, or call
BMW of North America, Inc. at 1-800-831-
1117. You can also obtain this information
from our website, www.bmwusa.com/.
It is recommended to check engine oil level
when ever fuel is added to the vehicle. If you
need to add oil between oil changes and are
unable to obtain BMW High Performance
Synthetic Oil, Mobil 1 or another special oil
on the list, use a synthetic oil with an API
rating of SH or higher.
The following maintenance elements must be
performed at the mileage/time stated (time
intervals begin from the vehicle’s production
date):
- Brake Fluid Service: Change brake fluid
every two years, or when specified by CBS.
- Oxygen Sensor Service: The oxygen
sensor deteriorates strictly on a mileage
basis and must therefore be replaced
every 100,000 miles to maximize vehicle
fuel economy and minimize exhaust pollu-
tion.
- Spark Plug Service: Replace at 100,000
miles, or when specified by CBS.

have your BMW center perform any neces-
sary operations to fulfill any state inspection
requirements in your area concurrent with the
maintenance elements specified above during

work is always entered in this Service and
Warranty Information Statement. You may
need this for any warranty claims that
become necessary, and later on as evidence
that your car has been given the correct and
regular maintenance that justifies its resale or
trade-in value.

logical advances not only to the design and
production of your vehicle, but also to
computing of the optimum maintenance inter-
val for your type of operations and driving
