BMW Full Maintenance Program
– 2005 745i, 745Li, 760i, 760Li

Maintenance System
The BMW Maintenance System has been
devised with the following objectives: to
maximize vehicle safety, reliability, and resale
value by minimizing breakdowns resulting
from wear, and minimizing cost and inconven-
ience by computing maintenance intervals
based upon the specific manner in which
each individual vehicle is driven.
Maintenance intervals on motor vehicles have
conventionally been specified based upon
accumulated mileage. However, driving condi-
tions have a major influence on routine
maintenance requirements; distance traveled
is only one of the significant factors. A vehicle
driven for 50,000 miles of short trips in the
city with numerous cold starts, prolonged
periods of idling, stop-and-go driving, and
high engine speeds during acceleration
requires more frequent maintenance intervals
than a vehicle driven for 50,000 miles for long
distances at low engine speeds primarily at
operating temperature.
The advanced technologies at BMW have led
to the development of the unique BMW
Condition Based Service System (CBS)
which computes the actual optimum mainte-
nance requirements based not only upon the
accumulated mileage, but taking into account
important factors such as high or low engine
speeds, short or long trip driving, and condi-
tion of the engine oil and brake pads.
The BMW Maintenance System
Condition Based Service CBS
CBS is a further development of the Service
Interval Indicator System. Sensors and
sophisticated algorithms take even more
detailed account of the various conditions of
vehicle use.
The remaining times for selected mainte-
nance tasks as well as any legally prescribed
dates are displayed to you individually:

Engine oil

Brakes – front and rear separately

Microfilter

Brake fluid

Spark plugs

Vehicle check

Required State Inspection(s)
CBS thus determines the current and future
maintenance requirements. This data can
also be read from the vehicle key by your
BMW Service Advisor and used to propose
the optimum scope of maintenance.
Have maintenance and repair work performed
by your BMW center. Make sure that the
maintenance work is stamped in this Service
and Warranty Information Statement. These
entries are the evidence of regular mainte-
nance of your vehicle and a requirement for
warranty claims.
2
26245 2005 BMW 7 Series #EA.qxd 10/6/04 1:34 PM Page 2

For your convenience, you may also wish to
have your BMW center perform any neces-
sary operations 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
Warranty Information Statement. 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 techno-
logical advances not only to the design and
production of your vehicle, but also to
computing of the optimum maintenance inter-
val for your type of operations and driving
style. Your BMW center has made a substan-
tial 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 service need
and to help maximize your satisfaction with
your BMW, its longevity, and resale value.

Special Note
The maintenance requirements for your
vehicle are determined dynamically by the
Condition Based Service System (CBS). The

latest information available at the time of the

Customer Assistance –
Notification
During a specific period (usually the earlier of
12 months or 12,000 miles, though this period
varies by state), some states require us or
our authorized BMW center, to repair in a
reasonable number of attempts, any defect or
condition which substantially impairs the use,
value, or safety of a new vehicle sold, leased
or registered in that state.
A “reasonable number of attempts” is gener-
ally defined as (i) two or more attempts to
repair the same defect (the number of
attempts may vary by state) or (ii) that the
same defect has caused the vehicle to be out
of service by reason of repair for more than
30 days (this period may vary by state),
except for delays created by conditions
beyond our control.
If we are unable to correct a defect or condi-
tion covered by these statutes in a reason-
able number of attempts, we may be
obligated either to replace the vehicle or
reimburse the owner/lessee in an amount
equal to the purchase price or lease
payments paid by the owner/lessee, less the
amount directly attributable to use of the
vehicle by the owner/lessee.

Federal Emissions System
Defect Warranty (Valid only in
the U.S.A. and Puerto Rico)
This warranty applies only to U.S. specifica-
tion vehicles distributed by BMW of North
America (BMW NA) or sold through the BMW
NA European Delivery Program.
In accordance with the defect warranty provi-
sions of section 207(b) of the Clean Air Act,
BMW NA warrants to the first retail purchaser,
and each subsequent purchaser, that the car
(a) was designed, built and equipped so as to
conform, at the time of sale, with all regula-
tions of the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency applicable at the time of manufacture
and (b) is free from defects in materials and
workmanship which would cause it to fail to
conform with applicable regulations for a
period of 2 years or 24,000 miles, whichever
occurs first, except for specific emission
control components (as listed on page 38),
for which the warranty period is 8 years or
80,000 miles, whichever occurs first.
This warranty begins on the date of first retail
sale, or the date the vehicle is first placed in
service as a demonstrator or company
vehicle, whichever is earlier.
Warranty claims must be made as soon as
reasonably possible after a defect is discov-
ered. To make a claim, the car must be
brought to any authorized BMW center during
normal business hours.
The BMW center will, without charge for parts
or labor (including diagnosis), either repair or
replace the defective part, if any. The
decision whether to repair or replace said
parts is solely the prerogative of BMW NA
and must be expected to correct the failure of
the warranted part. Parts for which replace-
ments are made become the property of
BMW NA. In all cases, a reasonable time
must be allowed for warranty repairs to be
completed after the car is received by the
BMW center.
For assistance in determining which specific
parts or components of your vehicle are
covered under this warranty, please contact
your BMW center.It is the owner’s responsibility to have all
scheduled inspection and maintenance
services performed (at the owner’s expense),
as prescribed in the maintenance schedule
for the BMW Emission Control System.
Service intervals are computed by the
onboard BMW service interval indicator and
displayed on the instrument panel. The
instructions for proper maintenance and use
can be found in the Owner’s Manual. It is
strongly recommended that any replacement
parts used for maintenance, repair or replace-
ment of emission control systems be certified
BMW Service Parts or BMW Authorized
Remanufactured Parts. Without invalidating
this warranty, the owner may elect to have
maintenance, repair or replacement of the
emission control systems performed by any
automotive repair establishment, or elect to
use parts other than certified BMW Service
Parts. However, the cost of such service or
parts will not be covered under this warranty,
except in emergency situations. In an
emergency situation, where an authorized
BMW center or a warranty replacement part
is not reasonably available (within 30 days),
repairs may be performed at any available
service establishment using any equivalent
part. BMW NA will reimburse the owner for
such emergency repairs (including labor,
parts and diagnosis not to exceed BMW NA
rates for labor, parts, and diagnosis in said
area) that are covered under this warranty.
Replaced parts and paid invoices must be
presented at a BMW center as a condition of
reimbursement for emergency repairs not
performed by a BMW center.
The use of replacement parts, which are not
of equivalent quality, may impair the effective-
ness of the emission control system. If other
than certified BMW Service Parts or
Authorized Remanufactured Parts are used
for maintenance, repair or replacement of
components affecting emission control, the
owner should obtain assurances that such
parts are warranted by their manufacturer to
be equivalent to genuine BMW parts in
performance and durability. BMW NA
assumes no liability under this warranty with
respect to parts other than genuine BMW
parts.
