The BMW Maintenance Program -
2006 6 Series
The BMW Maintenance Programs are a benefit
designed to help reduce the cost of ownership.
2006 6 Series vehicles purchased from any
Authorized BMW center in the United States or
Puerto Rico are covered by the BMW Mainte-
nance Program 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 com-
pany vehicle, whichever is earlier.
Any authorized BMW center in the United States
or Puerto Rico will perform the scheduled main-
tenance services on your vehicle at no expense
to you. The maintenance schedule intervals are
based on average driving conditions and opera-
tion. Should you request more frequent mainte-
nance service, the cost of these services will not
be covered by the Maintenance Program.
Coverage
The BMW Maintenance Program covers all
factory recommended maintenance, as deter-
mined by the Condition Based Service System.
Additional items that need replacement due to
normal wear and tear, and that are not covered by
the original New Vehicle Limited Warranty - such
as brake pads, brake rotors, and wiper blades
inserts - are included, provided wear and tear
exceeds BMW wear limits. Any adjustments
required due to normal operating conditions are
also included. See pages 6-7 of this booklet for
additional information.
Maintenance Intervals

The vehicle’s current service status is automati-
cally saved in the vehicle’s 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 2006 model year 6 Series are factory-filled
with BMW High Performance Synthetic oils. At
the time of the printing of this booklet, the follow-
ing 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, 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 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 120,000
miles to maximize vehicle fuel economy and
minimize exhaust pollution.
– Spark Plug Service: Replace at 100,000 miles, or when specified by CBS.

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.
BMW has applied the most modern technologi-
cal advances not only to the design and produc-
tion of your vehicle, but also to computing of the
optimum maintenance interval for your type of
operations and driving style. Your BMW center
has made a substantial investment in unique
BMW special service tools to enable his BMW
factory trained service technicians to perform
quality repairs on your BMW in minimal time.
He/she looks forward to serving your every ser-
vice need and to help maximize your satisfaction
with your BMW, its longevity, and resale value.Quality Certification I

items stated herein reflect the latest information

ment, and are subject to change. The most cur-
rent maintenance recommendations are available
