The vehicles current service status is automati-
cally saved in the vehicles ignition key. The Ser-
vice 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 mainte-
nance 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 2007 model year 3 Series vehicles are facto-
ry-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 0W-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 NorthAmerica, LLC. at 1 800 831-1117. You can also
obtain this information from our website,
www.bmwusa.com/.
BMW recommends that you check your engine
oil level whenever you add fuel to your vehicle. If
you need to add oil between oil changes and are
unable to obtain BMW High Performance Syn-
thetic 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 inter-
vals begin from the vehicles 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 120,000
miles to maximize vehicle fuel economy and
minimize exhaust pollution. For the 328i
SULEV (PZEV) models, the oxygen sensor
must be replaced every 150,000 miles. The
replacement of the oxygen sensor is required
under the terms of the applicable BMW emis-
sion system warranties.
– Spark Plug Service:
328i — Replace at 100,000 miles, or when
specified by CBS.
335i — Replace at 45,000 miles, or when spec-
ified by CBS.
– The engine coolant has a lifetime rating and
does not need to be changed.
For your convenience, you may also wish to have
your BMW center perform any necessary opera-
tions to fulfill any state inspection requirements
in your area concurrent with the maintenance
elements specified above during other repairs.
Make sure that confirmation of maintenance
work is always entered in this Service and War-
ranty Information Booklet. 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.
