Maintenance Program
The BMW Maintenance Program has been
devised with the following objectives: to maxi-
mize vehicle safety, reliability, and resale value by
minimizing breakdowns resulting from wear, and
minimizing cost and inconvenience by comput-
ing maintenance intervals based upon the spe-
cific manner in which each individual vehicle is
driven.
Maintenance intervals on motor vehicles have
conventionally been specified based upon accu-
mulated mileage. However, driving conditions
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 accelera-
tion requires more frequent maintenance inter-
vals 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 (CBS) system which computes
the actual optimum maintenance 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 driv-
ing, and condition of the engine oil and brake
pads.
The BMW Maintenance Program
Condition Based Service (CBS)
CBS is a further development of the Service
Interval Indicator System. Sensors and sophisti-
cated algorithms take even more detailed
account of the various conditions of vehicle use.The remaining times for selected maintenance
tasks as well as any legally prescribed dates are
displayed to you individually:
Engine oil
Brakes - front and rear separately
Brake fluid
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 mainte-
nance work is stamped in this Service and War-
ranty Information Statement. These entries are
the evidence of regular maintenance of your vehi-
cle and a requirement for warranty claims.
Disconnecting the battery during periods
of long-term storage will interrupt the
calculation of time-based services. Have all items
requiring time-based maintenance, such as
brake fluid and coolant, and possibly also the
engine oil brought up to date by your BMW cen-
ter. Also see the section on battery care on page
15 of this statement.

The current Status of Service items determined
by the CBS are shown in the Control Display.
You can also view additional information on the
service and maintenance requirements.
1. Open the start menu.
2. Press the controller to select the i-menu.
3. Select “Info sources” and press the
controller.
4. Select “Service” and press the controller.
5. Change to the upper field if necessary. Turn

No service is currently required.
The service deadline has already passed.
The deadline for service or a state inspec-
tion is approaching. Please contact your
SAV center for an appointment.You can request more detailed information on
every entry.
Turn the controller to scroll through the list, then
confirm the selected entry.

The vehicles current service status is automati-
cally saved in the vehicles ignition key. The Ser-
vice Advisor at your SAV 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 SAV 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 X5s are factory-filled with
