The BMW Maintenance Program -
2006 BMW Z4 Roadster 3.0i, 3.0si
and Z4 Coupe 3.0si
The BMW Maintenance Program is a benefit
designed to help reduce the cost of scheduled
and unscheduled maintenance.
2006 BMW Z4 models 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 or
additional maintenance services on your vehicle
at no expense to you. The maintenance schedule
intervals are based on normal driving conditions
and operation. Should you request more fre-
quent maintenance service, the cost of these
services will not be covered by the Mainte-
nance Program.
Coverage
The BMW Maintenance Program covers allfactory recommended maintenance, as deter-
mined by the service interval indicator. 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 blade inserts - are
included, provided wear and tear exceeds BMW
specifications. Any adjustments required due to
normal operating conditions are also included.
See page s5-8of this booklet for additional
information.
Maintenance Intervals
Time intervals should be followed using the
maintenance interval as indicated by the BMW
Service Indicator lights on the check control
panel in the dashboard. This BMW Service and Warranty Information
Booklet should be presented to your BMW cen-
ter when maintenance is required. Your BMW
center will stamp this book documenting the ser-
vices or maintenance performed.

Limited Warranty.

all chrome trim.
– Damage detected when performing the rust perforation inspection.
– Damage which results from negligence, improper operation of the vehicle, wear and tear
or deterioration due to driving habits or condi-
tions, improper repair, environmental influ-
ences, flood, accident or fire damage, road salt

accessories, or use of improper, poor quality or
contaminated fuel.
– Altered or unreadable Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) or odometer irregularities or vehi-
cles where the true mileage cannot be deter-
mined.

BMW recommends that you check engine oil
level whenever fuel is added to your vehicle.
– Inspection I: Major vehicle maintenance as specified in the following pages under Inspec-
tion I.
– Inspection II: Additional major vehicle mainte- nance as specified in the following pages under
Inspection II.
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.
– 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. The replacement of
the oxygen sensor is required under the terms
of the applicable BMW emission system war-
ranties.
– Spark Plug Service: Replace spark plugs every 100,000 miles.
– Automatic Transmission Service: Change ATF every 100,000 miles. The engine coolant has a lifetime rating and does
not need to be changed.
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 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 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.

Unscheduled Maintenance
Only use fuels advertised to have adequate
detergency and low alcohol content. Use of fuels
with insufficient detergent and/or excess alcohol
can cause driveability problems that necessitate
cleaning intake valves and fuel injection valves,
and, when applicable, adjusting the engine idle.
We suggest having this work performed by your
authorized BMW center, perhaps while regular
maintenance is performed. Your BMW center can
also recommend a gasoline additive that will pro-
vide sufficient detergency. While this recom-
mended unscheduled maintenance is not
required in order to maintain the emission war-
ranty, cleaning of intake valves or, when applica-
ble, fuel injection valves, or adjustment of engine
idle, necessitated by use of inappropriate fuel, is
not covered by warranty because no defect in
material or workmanship or component failure is
involved.
Special Note
Maintenance items and schedules stated herein
reflect the combined recommendations for all
2006 BMW Z4 models and are subject to
change. The most current maintenance recom-
mendations are available from your authorized
BMW center.

Services
From the information you provide, the BMW
Roadside Assistance service representative will
determine the type of help required.
Dispatch Service
A service provider will be dispatched to the site
of your disabled vehicle.
On-Site Assistance
On-site service for vehicle disablements such as
flat tires, dead batteries, and out of fuel condi-
tions is provided up to a maximum of $100.00
per incident by BMW Roadside Assistance.
The cost for parts and fuel, when used on-site,
are the responsibility of the owner/driver. The
New Vehicle Limited Warranty does not cover any
of the above on-site services.
Lock-Out
Your BMW is equipped with an advanced entry
system, which cannot be bypassed by traditional
locksmith methods without significant damage to
your vehicle. BMW encourages you to always
carry your spare wallet key separately from your
other keys. However, in the event that you find
yourself locked out, a simple telephone call to
Roadside Assistance will help you get back on
the road. A representative will help you find
transportation or arrange towing service to the
nearest BMW center. Related towing costs will be
compensated up to $100 per incident. You, or
the person driving your vehicle, are responsible
for any expenses related to replacement keys.
Towing Service
In the event of a mechanical breakdown normally
covered under the New Vehicle Limited Warranty,
your vehicle will be transported (at no cost) to the
nearest authorized BMW center. Your vehicle is
also covered in the event of an accident or colli-
sion.
If a breakdown occurs after normal business
hours, your vehicle will be transported to a secure
location and transported to the nearest autho-
rized BMW center on the next business day. If you request that the vehicle be taken to a loca-
tion other than the nearest authorized BMW cen-
ter, any additional expense will be your
responsibility.
However, you may request (at no cost) to be
taken to a different BMW center as long as it is
within 50 additional miles of the
nearestBMW
center.
Towing requests for vehicles disabled because of
casualty, fire, act of God, or violation of law (fed-
eral, state or local) are provided at the expense of
the owner/driver.
If it is necessary for you to have your vehicle
towed through your own arrangements, you
must contact BMW Roadside Assistance for
prior authorization and instructions on claim
procedures. All claims must be submitted within
sixty (60) days of the disablement or occurrence,
accompanied by the original receipts. Claims
received after that time period may not be hon-
ored and are subject to the full discretion of
BMW Roadside Assistance. If BMW Roadside
Assistance is not contacted for priorauthoriza-
tion, the maximum coverage for towing is
$100.00.
Sign-and-Drive
Typically, if you are within the terms of your war-
ranty, the services you receive under the BMW
Roadside Assistance program will not require
payment. In most cases, you will simply sign a
receipt from the provider of services.
Emergency Valet service
Should there be a need beyond BMW Roadside
Assistance, Emergency Valet service will provide
a personal assistant who will help in every way to
get you to your final destination. Emergency Valet
service will help you locate a rental car or taxi
agency, hotel or even help procure airline reser-
vations.
In event of an emergency, this service will assist
you in getting information out to the proper party
whether it’s business or personal. If unable to

Warranty Statement* Your
Warranty Rights and Obligations
The California Air Resources Board and BMW of
North America (BMW NA) are pleased to explain
the emission control system warranty on your
2006 vehicle. In California, new motor vehicles
must be designed, built and equipped to meet
the State’s stringent anti-smog standards. BMW
NA must warrant the emission control system on
your vehicle for the periods of time listed below
provided there has been no abuse, neglect or
improper maintenance of your vehicle.
Your emission control system may include parts
such as the fuel injection system, the ignition
system, catalytic converter, and engine com-
puter. Also included may be hoses, belts, con-
nectors and other emission-related assemblies.
Where a warrantable condition exists, BMW NA
will repair your vehicle at no cost to you including
diagnosis, parts and labor.
Manufacturer’s Warranty Coverage:
– For 3 years or 50,000 miles whichever occurs first:
1. If your vehicle fails a Smog Check inspection, all necessary repairs and adjustments will be
made by BMW NA to ensure that your vehicle
passes the inspection. This is your emission

listed in your Owner’s Manual. BMW NA rec-
ommends that you retain all receipts covering

receipts or for your failure to ensure the perfor-
mance of all scheduled maintenance.

problem exists. The warranty repairs should be
completed in a reasonable amount of time, not
