Engine oil
The engine oil consumption is dependent on
driving style and driving conditions.
Checking oil level
1.Park the vehicle on a level surface with the
engine warm, i.e. after an uninterrupted
drive of at least 6 miles/10 km.
2.Switch off the engine.3.After approx. 5 minutes, pull the dipstick3
out and wipe it off with a clean lint-free
cloth, paper towel, or similar material.
4.Carefully push the dipstick all the way into
the guide tube and pull it out again.
The oil should extend to between the two
marks on the dipstick.
The oil quantity between the centers of the two
marks on the dipstick, refer to arrows, is approx.
1.6 US quarts/1.5 liters.
Do not fill beyond the upper mark on the
dipstick. Excess oil can damage the
engine.<

Maintenance
The BMW Maintenance
System
The BMW maintenance system supports the
preservation of the traffic and operating safety
of your BMW. The service schedule also
includes operations related to the vehicle's
comfort and convenience features, such as
replacement of the filters for the inside air. The
ultimate objective is to ensure economical
maintenance by providing the ideal service for
your vehicle.
Should the day come when you decide to sell
your BMW, you will find that a complete dealer
service history is an asset of inestimable value.
CBS Condition Based Service
Sensors and special algorithms take the differ-
ent driving conditions of your BMW into
account. Condition Based Service uses this to
determine the current and future service
requirements. By letting you define a service
and maintenance regimen that reflects your
own individual requirements, the system builds
the basis for trouble-free driving.
You can set the Control Display to show
remaining times or distances of selected main-
tenance intervals and legally mandated dead-
lines, refer to page70:
>Engine oil
>Brakes, front and rear separately
>Microfilter/activated-charcoal filter
>Brake fluid>Spark plugs
>Vehicle check
>Legally required tests depending on local
regulations
Your vehicle stores this information continu-
ously in the master key while the vehicle is
being driven. After accessing the data stored in
the master key, your BMW Service Advisor can
suggest precisely the right array of service pro-
cedures for your own individual vehicle. You
should therefore give your BMW Service Advi-
sor the key you last used to drive when you take
your vehicle in for service.
Make sure the date in the Control Center
is always set correctly, refer to page78,
as otherwise the effectiveness of CBS Condi-
tion Based Service is not ensured.<
