Condition Based Service (CBS)
CBS is a further development of the Service
Interval Indicator System. Sensors and
sophisticated algorithms take even more detailed
account of the various conditions of vehicle use.
The remaining times for selected maintenance
tasks as well as any legally prescribed dates are
displayed to you individually:
䉯 Engine oil
䉯 Brakes - front and rear separately
䉯 Brake fluid
䉯 Vehicle check
䉯 Required State Inspection(s)
CBS thus determines the current and future
maintenance requirements. This data can also be
read from the vehicle key by your BMW Service
Advisor and used to propose the optimum scope
of maintenance.
Disconnecting the battery during periods of
long-term storage will interrupt the
calculation of time-based services. Have all items
requiring time-based maintenance, such as
brake fluid and coolant, and possibly also the
engine oil, brought up to date by your BMW SAV
center. Also see the section on battery care on
page 17 of this statement.
