The Service Advisor at your BMW center has

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 2006 model year 325i and 330i 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)

special oil on the list, use a synthetic oil with
an API rating of SH or higher.

performed at the mileage/time stated (time
intervals begin from the vehicle’s production
date):

every two years, 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

work is always entered in this Service and

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
