[NEW] designates changes to this revision

SUBJECT
CBS4 Oil Service Forecast Displays Due in 25,000 miles

MODEL
E82, E88, E90, E91, E92 and E93 with the N51, N52K and N54 engines produced up to 3/08

E70 with the N52K and N62TU engines produced up to 3/08

SITUATION

The forecasted mileage until the next CBS oil service erroneously displays as due in 25,000 miles after a CBS reset.

The engine oil service interval is "flexible", depending on a learned driver profile (average fuel consumption).

When the CBS oil service is reset, the mileage forecast until the next oil service is calculated based upon this current average fuel consumption value or driver profile.

The highest oil service mileage forecast which could be displayed (vehicles achieving less than average fuel consumption) is 19,000 miles.

CAUSE

DME software calculation error
