Intervals

Time intervals should be followed using themaintenance intervals as indicated by the BMWCondition Based Service.

Maintenance intervals on motor vehicles haveconventionally been specified based uponaccumulated mileage. However, drivingconditions have a major influence on routinemaintenance requirements; distance traveled isonly one of the significant factors.

The advanced technologies at BMW have led tothe development of the unique BMWConditionBased Service (CBS) system which computesthe actual optimummaintenance requirementsbased not only upon the accumulated mileage,but taking into account important factors such ashigh or low engine speeds, and short or long tripdriving.

Condition Based Service (CBS)

CBS is a further development of the ServiceInterval Indicator System.

The remaining times for selected maintenancetasks as well as any legally prescribed dates aredisplayed to you individually:� Engine oil (BMW i3 with Range Extender

only*)� Brake fluid� Brake service, front*� Brake service, rear*� Vehicle check� Required State Inspection(s)

*As of 7/14 production.

CBS thus determines the current and futuremaintenance requirements. This data can also beread from the vehicle key by your BMWServiceAdvisor and used to propose the optimum scopeof maintenance.

BMW recommends that you have maintenanceand repair work performed by your authorizedBMW center.

Disconnecting the battery during periods oflong-term storage will interrupt the

calculation of time-based services. BMWrecommends that you have all items requiringtime-based maintenance, such as brake fluid andmicrofilter, brought up to date by your authorizedBMW center.
