Fuel Quality – Gasoline
Only use fuels advertised to have adequate
detergency and low alcohol (such as ethanol)
content. Please refer to your owner’s manual for
important information on the fuel recommended
for use in your vehicle. Use of fuels with
insufficient detergent and/or excess alcohol can
cause driveability problems that necessitate
cleaning intake valves and fuel injection valves,
and, when applicable, adjusting the engine idle.
We suggest having this work performed by your
authorized BMW center, perhaps while regular
maintenance is performed. Your authorized BMW
center can also recommend a gasoline additive
that will provide sufficient detergency. This
recommended unscheduled maintenance which
may be necessitated by use of inappropriate
fuels is not required in order to maintain the
emission warranty. It also is not covered by your
vehicle’s warranty because no defect in material
or workmanship or component failure is involved.
Maintenance Service Summary
The Condition Based Service (CBS) system will
determine the requirement for performing the
maintenance services described in this section,
ending on page 8. These services may be
required either individually or in conjunction with
other maintenance services.
Maintenance services are performed as outlined
in this section, based on intervals of either time,
mileage or after performing a specified number
of previous services. These intervals correspond
to the latest information available when this
Booklet was printed. Maintenance intervals are
subject to change with newer vehicles or may
also apply retroactively. Your authorized BMW
center will be able to advise and perform
maintenance services as required by the most
recent information that applies to your vehicle.
The maintenance services “connected to a
