Service Interval Display

Service Interval Display:

Advanced technology is employed to calculate the optimal maintenance intervals, which are then indicated in the Service Interval Display. While conventional maintenance systems rely on mileage alone to determine when service is due, the BMW Maintenance System reflects the actual conditions under which the vehicle is operated, because mileage is not simply mileage:

From the point of view of maintenance, 62,000 miles (100,000 km) accumulated in short-distance driving are not the equivalent of the same distance covered in long-distance highway travel.

The BMW Maintenance System includes the Engine Oil Service as well as Inspections I and II.

Determining the maintenance intervals according to the actual loads on the car covers every kind of operating situation. However, drivers who cover only extremely short distances - substantially less than 6,200 miles (10,000 km) annually - should have the engine oil changed at least once a year, as it continues to age whether or not the car is used on a regular basis.
