BMW Full MaintenancePrograms - 2005 Models

BMW Full Maintenance Programs are a benefitdesigned to help reduce the cost of scheduledand unscheduled maintenance.

2005 3 Series vehicles (except M3)purchased from any Authorized BMW centerin the United States or Puerto Rico arecovered by Full Maintenance for 48 months or50,000 miles, whichever occurs first. Coveragebegins on the date of first retail sale or the datethe vehicle is first placed in service as ademonstrator or company vehicle, whicheveris earlier.

Any authorized BMW center in the UnitedStates or Puerto Rico will perform the sched-uled or additional maintenance services onyour vehicle at no expense to you. Themaintenance schedule intervals are based onnormal driving conditions and operation.Should you request more frequent mainte-nance service, the cost of these serviceswill not be covered by the MaintenanceProgram.

Coverage

Full Maintenance covers all factory recom-mended maintenance, as determined by theservice interval indicator. Additional items thatneed replacement due to normal wear andtear, and that are not covered by the originalNew Vehicle Limited Warranty - such as brakepads, brake rotors, and wiper blade inserts -are included, provided wear and tearexceeds BMW specifications. Any adjust-ments required due to normal operatingconditions are also included. See pages 6-9of this booklet for additional information.

Maintenance Intervals

Time intervals should be followed using themaintenance interval as indicated by the BMWService Indicator lights on the check controlpanel in the dashboard.

This BMW Service and Warranty InformationBooklet should be presented to your BMWcenter when maintenance is required. YourBMW center will stamp this book documentingthe services or maintenance performed.

Exclusions from coverage

– Items reimbursable under your New VehicleLimited Warranty.

– Gasoline and gasoline additive.– Windshield washer additive (except when

Maintenance System

The BMW Maintenance System has beendevised with the following objectives: tomaximize vehicle safety, reliability, and resalevalue by minimizing breakdowns resulting fromwear, and minimizing cost and inconvenienceby computing maintenance intervals basedupon the specific manner in which eachindividual vehicle is driven.

Maintenance intervals on motor vehicles haveconventionally been specified based uponaccumulated mileage. However, the type ofdriving conditions has a major influence onroutine maintenance requirements; distancetraveled is only one of the significant factors.A vehicle driven for 50,000 miles of short tripsin the city with numerous cold starts, pro-longed periods of idling, stop-and-go driving,and high engine speeds during accelerationrequires more frequent maintenanceintervals than a vehicle driven for 50,000miles for long distances at low enginespeeds primarily at operating temperature.

The advanced technologies at BMW have ledto the development of the unique BMW serviceinterval indicator which computes the actualoptimum maintenance requirements basednot only upon the accumulated mileage, buttaking into account important factors such asengine coolant temperatures, high or lowengine speeds, short or long trip driving, andnumber of vehicle starts. The maintenanceinterval may therefore be maximized withconsiderable savings to owners of vehiclessubjected to light duty.

The Service Interval Indicator consists of amileage reading, and the inscriptions “OILSERVICE” and “INSPECTION”.

Whenever the ignition is switched on, thedisplay shows the next scheduled type ofservice and the remaining distance until theservice should be performed. The distance isbased on your driving style.

If the maintenance interval has been ex-ceeded, a “—” symbol reminds you of theurgent need for servicing. In the interests ofroad safety and reliability, you should avoiddriving your BMW when the “—” symbol isshowing, and have the essential maintenancework performed without delay.

After each maintenance is performed the serviceindicator is reset in order to compute the nextservice interval.

If the Service Interval Indicator displays anillogical reading, or if there is no display, consulta BMW center.

If the speedometer, tachometer or coolanttemperature gauge should develop a fault, theservice interval indicator will probably cease tooperate correctly as well, since it depends oncorrect speed, distance and temperaturereadings. The fault must be located and rectifiedby a BMW center.

A detailed list of all maintenance operationsincluded in each of the elements of the BMWMaintenance System is found on pages 6-9.These elements are as follows:

Quality Certification I will be performed by yourselling center and certified on page 5.

The performance of certain subsequentmaintenance elements, as required by theBMW New Vehicle Limited Warranty, will bespecified at intervals computed by the BMWservice interval indicator as follows:

– Oil Service: Engine oil changed with theengine at operating temperature.

Note: change oil at least once a year.

Your BMW is factory-equipped with anewly-developed synthetic engine oil. Atthe time of the printing of this booklet BMWHigh-Performance Synthetic 5W-30 Oil(Part Number 07 51 0 017 866) and Mobil 15W-30 and 5W-40 oils are stronglyrecommended and approved by BMW forthe 3 Series models covered in this booklet.BMW is evaluating various synthetic oils forinclusion in our list of recommended motoroils.

For the most current list of synthetic oils,please contact your BMW center, or callBMW of North America at 1-800-831-1117.You can also obtain this information fromour website, www.bmwusa.com/.

It is recommended to check engine oil levelwhenever fuel is added to the vehicle.

If you need to add oil between oil changesand are unable to obtain BMW High Per-formance Synthetic Oil, Mobil 1 or anotherspecial oil on the list, use a synthetic oilwith an API rating of SJ or higher.

– Inspection I: Major vehicle maintenanceas specified in the following pages underInspection I.

– Inspection II: Additional major vehiclemaintenance as specified in the followingpages under Inspection II.

The following maintenance elements mustbe performed at the mileage/time stated(time intervals begin from the vehicle’sproduction date):

– Brake Fluid Service: Change brake fluidevery two years.

– Oxygen Sensor Service: The oxygen sensordeteriorates strictly on a mileage basis andmust therefore be replaced every 120,000miles (3 Series with optional SequentialManual Gearbox (SMG) 100,000 miles), tomaximize vehicle fuel economy andminimize exhaust pollution. In the SULEV(PZEV) models, the oxygen sensor mustbe replaced every 150,000 miles. Thereplacement of the oxygen sensor isrequired under the terms of the appli-cable BMW emission system warranties.

– Spark Plug Service: Replace spark plugsevery 100,000 miles. Your BMW isequipped with platinum-tipped spark plugs.These allow a longer service life thanconventional spark plugs.

– Automatic Transmission Service: ChangeATF every 100,000 miles.

The engine coolant has a lifetime rating anddoes not need to be changed.

For your convenience, you may also wish tohave your BMW center perform any necessaryoperations to fulfill any state inspectionrequirements in your area concurrent with themaintenance elements specified above duringother repairs.

Make sure that confirmation of maintenancework is always entered in this Service andWarranty Information Booklet. You may needthis for any warranty claims that becomenecessary, and later on as evidence that yourcar has been given the correct and regularmaintenance that justifies its resale or trade-invalue.

BMW has applied the most modern techno-logical advances not only to the design andproduction of your vehicle, but also to comput-ing of the optimum maintenance interval foryour type of operations and driving style. YourBMW center has made a substantial invest-ment in unique BMW special service tools toenable his BMW factory trained servicetechnicians to perform quality repairs on yourBMW in minimal time. He/she looks forward toserving your every service need and to helpmaximize your satisfaction with your BMW, itslongevity, and resale value.

Unscheduled Maintenance

Only use fuels advertised to have adequatedetergency and low alcohol content. Use offuels with insufficient detergent and/or excessalcohol can cause driveability problems thatnecessitate cleaning intake valves and fuelinjection valves, and, when applicable,adjusting the engine idle. We suggest havingthis work performed by your authorized BMWcenter, perhaps while regular maintenance isperformed. Your BMW center can also recom-mend a gasoline additive that will providesufficient detergency. While this recommendedunscheduled maintenance is not required inorder to maintain the emission warranty,cleaning of intake valves or, when applicable,fuel injection valves, or adjustment of engineidle, necessitated by use of inappropriate fuel,is not covered by warranty because no defectin material or workmanship or componentfailure is involved.

Special Note

Most maintenance items and schedules statedherein reflect the combined recommendationsfor model year 2005 3 Series BMWs, and aresubject to change. The most currentmaintenance recommendations are availablefrom your authorized BMW center.

If your car is driven only for short distances ofless than 10 miles over a prolonged period oftime, without an occasional drive at highwayspeeds, the engine’s charging system will notmaintain the battery. Insufficient use of thevehicle could result in short term startingproblems and in the long term could damagethe battery.

In case the car is not operated for more thanfour weeks it is advisable to:

a)consider using a proper trickle charger,following the charger manufacturer’sinstructions, to maintain the battery’s state ofcharge; or

b)consult your BMW center regarding batteryremoval. Once removed, the battery must becharged and stored in a cool, dry placewhere it can be protected from freezing. Ifthe battery will be stored for over 3 months, itmust be recharged every 3 months, or else itwill become damaged and useless.

Please consult with your BMW center forfurther guidance and information.

Corrosion Protection

Extensive corrosion protection measuresimplemented by BMW now make it possible tooffer a twelve-year limited mileage anti-corrosion warranty against rust perforation onyour vehicle provided that the vehicle ismaintained in accordance with the provisionsof the New Vehicle Limited Warranty asoutlined in the Warranty Section of thisStatement (page 30).

The major degree of corrosion protection isdue to the electrophoretic dip painting processwhich cathodically deposits paint particles onall body parts, attracting paint particles into theminutest cavities or seams. Body parts aredesigned to provide optimum corrosionprotection.

During manufacture, exterior body partsreceive an additional corrosion protection coat.Hood, trunk, doors and other body parts withmetal folds are coated with PVC and sealedfrom the outside.

All floor panels receive a resilient coating ofPVC for maximum protection against damagedue to stones, etc.

Corrosion protection materials tested overmany years are applied to the surfaces ofcavities and to the entire underside of thevehicle during and after assembly.

Requirements for maintaining the twelve-yearunlimited mileage anti-corrosion warranty areoutlined in the Warranty Section of thisStatement (page 32).

Restoring corrosion protection

Please take care that anti-corrosion material isreplaced when your car is repaired after bodyor chassis damage.

BMW will not accept any liability for anyparts and accessories not approved byBMW.

Underbody maintenance

The underbody has to be cleaned at leastonce a year, in spring, with plain water in orderto remove mud, chemical sediments and otherdeposits. If those materials are not removed,corrosion (rust) will occur.

Your BMW center will do this anti-corrosionservice for you.

WARNING

Do not apply additional undercoating or rust-proofing on or near the exhaust manifold,exhaust pipes, catalytic converter or heatshields. During driving, the substance usedfor undercoating could overheat and causea fire.
