vidually agreed contract.
After your contract has expired, the BMW 
Assist system will be deactivated by the BMW 
Assist Response Center without you having to 
visit a BMW center. Following the deactivation 
of the BMW Assist systems, no BMW Assist

vices.

be able to determine the current position.
>A GPS signal must be available in order for 
BMW Assist to be activated and updated.
>You have placed an order for the BMW 
Assist service contract at a BMW center or

ter then contacts you and arranges for fur-
ther steps to help you.

event of a breakdown. If possible, the vehi-
cle and position data are transmitted in the

Maintenance
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 distances and times of selected 
maintenance intervals and legally mandated 
deadlines, refer to page78:
>Engine oil
>Brake pads, front and rear separately
>Microfilter/activated-charcoal filter
>Brake fluid
>Spark plugs>Vehicle check
>Legally required tests depending on local 
regulations
Service data in remote control
Your vehicle stores the information required for 
maintenance continuously in the remote con-
trol during driving. After accessing the data 
stored in the remote control, your BMW Service 
Advisor can suggest precisely the right array of 
service procedures for your own individual vehi-
cle. For this reason, when you take your vehicle 
in for service, you should give the BMW Service 
Advisor the remote control last used to drive it.
Make sure the date is set correctly, refer 
to page84, otherwise the effectiveness 
of CBS Condition Based Service is not 
ensured.<

cedures are confirmed by entries in your vehi-
cle's Service and Warranty Information Booklet 
for US models and Warranty and Service Guide

fied regular maintenance.<
