2. How your BMW tells you service is due

Your BMW uses Condition Based Service. It monitors the car and prompts each service when it is due.

QuestionAnswer
How does my BMW know?Condition Based Service monitors the car and prompts each service through the Service Interval Indicator.
Why might my schedule differ from another BMW's?It follows how you drive. Short trips in Florida heat bring a service sooner than steady highway miles.
How do I find out what mine needs?Send us the VIN or bring the car in, and we read it for you.
What routine work do you do?Oil changes, tire rotations, fluid flushes, tune-ups, wheel alignments and inspections.

A schedule that follows your driving means your BMW is serviced when it needs it.

On the Emerald Coast, heat and stop-and-go traffic mean most BMWs are due for an oil change every 5,000 to 7,500 miles. Your advisor confirms the figure for your model.
