BMW Service Schedule

BMW Service Schedule
The BMW Maintenance System has been devised with the following objectives:
maximize vehicle safety, reliability, and minimize breakdowns resulting from
wear, at minimum cost. The Service Interval Light system will indicate when you
are due for service based on your driving habits.
Service Interval Light System

The Service Indicator consists of five green, one yellow, and one red light and
the inscriptions: "Oil service" and "Inspection" located on your instrument panel.
Whenever the ignition is switched on, up to five green lights will light up, then
depending on vehicle use and driving style the green lights will systematically
turn off one by one. As you approach the last green light, this is an indication
that the next service is almost due and helps you to make any necessary
arrangements on a timely basis.
When the last green light turns off, a yellow light appears with one of the
inscriptions (Oil Service or Inspection). This indicates that your next maintenance
service is due immediately.
If you continue to delay maintenance service, the yellow light and red light
appear together with one of the inscriptions (oil service or inspection). In the
interest of road safety and reliability you should avoid driving your BMW and
have the essential work performed without any further delay.
