The BMW Maintenance Program
The BMW Maintenance Program is a benefit
designed to help reduce the cost of ownership.
This program has been devised with the
following objectives: to maximize vehicle safety,
reliability, and resale value by minimizing
breakdowns resulting from wear, and minimizing
cost and inconvenience by computing
maintenance intervals based upon the specific
manner in which each individual vehicle is driven.
2011 1 Series M Coupe and M3 vehicles
purchased from any authorized BMW center in
the United States or Puerto Rico are covered by
The BMW Maintenance Program for 48 months
or 50,000 miles, whichever occurs first. Coverage
begins on the date of first retail sale or the date
the vehicle is first placed into service as a sales
demonstrator, Aftersales Mobility Program (AMP)
Vehicle or company vehicle, whichever is earlier.
Any authorized BMW center in the United States
or Puerto Rico will perform the scheduled
maintenance services on your vehicle at no
expense to you.
Coverage
The BMW Maintenance Program covers all
factory recommended maintenance, as
determined by the Condition Based Service
(CBS) system. Additional specific items that
need replacement due to normal wear and tear,
and that are not covered by the original New
Vehicle Limited Warranty - such as brake pads,
brake rotors, and wiper blade inserts - are
included, provided wear and tear exceeds BMW
wear limits. Any applicable adjustments required
due to normal operating conditions are also
included. See pages8-9ofthis booklet for
additional information.
Exclusions from coverage include the following:
䉯 Items reimbursable under your New Vehicle
Limited Warranty
䉯 Gasoline and gasoline additive
䉯 Windshield washer additive (except when in
conjunction with scheduled maintenance)
䉯 Tires, wheel alignment, tire balance and
rotation
䉯 Wear and tear of soft trim items, such as:
seats, carpets, moldings, headliner, door
panels and all chrome trim
䉯 Damage which results from negligence,
improper operation of the vehicle, wear and
tear or deterioration due to driving habits or
conditions, improper repair, environmental
influences, flood, accident or fire damage, road
salt corrosion, alteration, installation of
non-genuine BMW accessories, or use of
improper, poor quality or contaminated fuel
䉯 Altered or unreadable Vehicle Identification
Number (VIN) or odometer irregularities or
vehicles where the true mileage cannot be
determined
䉯 Maintenance or repair after the vehicle is
deemed a total loss
䉯 Maintenance or repairs performed by other
than an Authorized BMW center within the
United States or Puerto Rico
䉯 Vehicles used in competitive events

䉯 Oil changes performed outside the
recommended maintenance intervals as
indicated by the Service Interval Display
Maintenance Upgrade Option
Please contact your authorized BMW center for
information and availability on the optional
Maintenance Program Upgrade for coverage up
to 6 years or 100,000 miles, whichever occurs
first.
Intervals
Time intervals should be followed using the
maintenance interval as indicated by the BMW
Service Interval Display.
Maintenance intervals on motor vehicles have
conventionally been specified based upon
accumulated mileage. However, driving
conditions have a major influence on routine
maintenance requirements; distance traveled is
only one of the significant factors. A vehicle
driven for 50,000 miles of short trips in the city
with numerous cold starts, prolonged periods of
idling, stop-and-go driving, and high engine
speeds during acceleration requires more
frequent maintenance intervals than a vehicle
driven for 50,000 miles for long distances at low
engine speeds primarily at operating
temperature.
The advanced technologies at BMW have led to
the development of the unique BMW Condition
Based Service (CBS) system which computes
the actual optimum maintenance requirements
based not only upon the accumulated mileage,
but taking into account important factors such as
high or low engine speeds, short or long trip
driving, and condition of the engine oil and brake
pads.
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.
The replacement intervals for the
microfilter and the spark plugs are not
shown in the CBS.
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 possibly also the engine oil and
microfilter, brought up to date by your BMW
center. Also see the section on battery care on
page 18 of this Booklet.

Special Note – Maintenance Intervals
The maintenance requirements for your vehicle
are determined dynamically by the Condition
Based Service (CBS) system. The maintenance
items stated herein reflect the latest information
available at the time of the printing of this
Booklet, and are subject to change. The most
current maintenance recommendations are
available from your authorized BMW center.
The performance of certain subsequent
maintenance items or services, as required by
the BMW New Vehicle Limited Warranty, will be
specified at intervals computed by the BMW
Service Interval Indicator as follows:
䉯 Oil Service: Engine oil should be changed with
the engine at operating temperature.
All 2011 model year 1 Series M Coupe vehicles
are factory-filled with BMW High Performance
Synthetic oils. We recommend BMW High
Performance 5W-30 Synthetic Oil (BMW part
number 07 51 0 017 866) for regular scheduled
engine oil changes.
All 2011 model year M3 vehicles are factoryfilled with Castrol TWS Motorsport SAE 10W-60
Synthetic Engine Oil (BMW part number
07 51 0 009 420). This is the only approved
engine oil at the time of printing of this Booklet.
BMW recommends that you check your engine
oil level whenever you add fuel to your vehicle.
For information on checking your engine oil level,
refer to your vehicle’s Owner’s Manual.
For 1 Series M Coupe engines: if you need to
add oil between oil changes and BMW High
Performance Synthetic Oil is unavailable, you
may top up the oil level with one of the following
approved synthetic oils listed below that meet
BMW’s Long-life rating LL-01:
䉯 Castrol Syntec European Formula SAE 0W-30
䉯 Mobil 1 SAE 0W-40
䉯 Pennzoil Platinum European Formula Ultra
SAE 5W-30
䉯 Valvoline SynPower SAE 5W-30
For M3 engines: If you need to add oil between
oil changes and Castrol TWS Motorsport SAE
10W-60 Synthetic Engine Oil (BMW part number
07 51 0 009 420) is unavailable, you may top up
the oil level with a synthetic oil:
䉯 Viscosity – preferred SAE 10W-60
䉯 Alternative – SAE 10W-40, SAE 5W-50 or
SAE 10W-50
The choice of the right SAE grade is based on
the climatic conditions in the region in which you
normally drive your BMW. To best determine
which SAE grade is best suited for your vehicle,
contact an authorized BMW center. Use only oils
with an API rating of SJ/CF, SK/CF or higher.
The following maintenance services must be
performed at the mileage/time stated (time
intervals begin from the vehicle’s production
date):
䉯 Brake Fluid Service: Change brake fluid as
follows, or when specified by CBS:
– Vehicle built through 2/2011: 2 years
– Vehicle built as of 3/2011: 3 years
䉯 Oxygen Sensor Service: The oxygen sensor
deteriorates strictly on a mileage basis and
must therefore be replaced every
120,000 miles to maximize vehicle fuel
economy and minimize exhaust pollution.
䉯 Spark Plug Service (not shown in CBS).
Replace at the following intervals:
– 1 Series M Coupe: At every 3rd engine oil
service
– M3: 37,000 miles
䉯 The engine coolant has a long-term rating and
does not need to be changed except for
system repairs.
䉯 All 1 Series M Coupe vehicles and only M3
vehicles with the optional M-DCT Drivelogic
transmission have a long-term rated
transmission fluid which does not need to be
changed except for system repairs.

For your convenience, you may also wish to have
your BMW center perform any necessary
operations to fulfill any state inspection
requirements in your area, concurrent with the
maintenance services specified above during
other repairs. Should you request more
frequent maintenance service, the cost of
these services will not be covered by the
Maintenance Program.
BMW has applied the most modern
technological advances not only to the design
and production of your vehicle, but also to
computing of the optimum maintenance interval
for your type of operations and driving style. Your
BMW center has made a substantial investment
in unique BMW special service tools to enable
BMW factory trained service technicians to
perform quality repairs on your BMW in minimal
time, to help maximize your satisfaction with your
BMW, its longevity, and resale value.
1200 Mile Service
The engine in your BMW 1 Series M Coupe or
M3 is a race-bred engine design which includes
increased power output and maximum engine
speeds compared to a conventional BMW 1 or 3
Series engine. The increased power output also
affects other major drivetrain components, such
as the transmission (M3 only) and the rear axle
differential. The 1200 Mile Service requires
changing the oil in the engine and the differential.
M3 vehicles with the standard transmission also
require the transmission fluid to be changed
(transmission fluid does not need to be changed
for an M3 with the optional M-DCT Drivelogic
transmission).
NOTE: M3 with the optional M-DCT Drivelogic
transmission does not require changing the
transmission fluid. The fluid has a long-term
rating and does not need to be changed except
for system repairs.
Quality Certification I
For a detailed list of items inspected, refer to the
Quality Certification I form provided to the Owner
at time of delivery. A copy of the form is on file at
the selling BMW center.
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 BMW center can
also recommend a gasoline additive that will
provide sufficient detergency. While this
recommended unscheduled maintenance is not
required in order to maintain the emission
warranty, cleaning of intake valves or, when
applicable, fuel injection valves, or adjustment of
engine idle, necessitated by use of inappropriate
fuel, it is not covered by warranty because no
defect in material or workmanship or component
failure is involved.
