The emission certification standard can be verified on the Vehicle Emission Control Information
label located in the engine compartment. A representative label is shown below; the SULEV
(PZEV) certification is stated on the bottom line.
Introduction
(for SULEV (PZEV) only)
Certain 2007 328i models are certified to California’s stringent Super Ultra Low Emission
Vehicle (SULEV) standards and also qualify as a
Partial Zero Emission Vehicle (PZEV) under the
California Air Resources Board Zero Emission
Vehicle program. In addition to very low tailpipe
and zero-evaporative emissions, this PZEV certification includes a unique warranty when the
vehicle is registered in California and certain
Northeastern states as indicated in the SULEV
(PZEV) section beginning on page 43. SULEV
(PZEV) models registered in Oregon and Washington are covered by the California Emission
Warranty beginning on page 40.
The BMW Maintenance Program All 2007 3 Series
The BMW Maintenance Program is a benefit
designed to help reduce the cost of ownership.
2007 3 Series 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 in service as a demonstrator 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. The maintenance schedule
intervals are based on average driving conditions and operation. Should you request more
frequent maintenance service, the cost of
these services will not be covered by the
Maintenance Program.
1
Coverage
The BMW Maintenance Program covers all
factory recommended maintenance, as determined by the Condition Based Service (CBS)
system. Additional 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 blades inserts - are included, provided
wear and tear exceeds BMW wear limits. Any
adjustments required due to normal operating
conditions are also included. See pages 7-8 of
this booklet for additional information.
Maintenance Intervals
Time intervals should be followed using the
maintenance interval as indicated by the BMW
Condition Based Service (CBS) display.
This BMW Service and Warranty Information
Booklet should be presented to your BMW center when maintenance is required. Your BMW
center will stamp this booklet documenting the
services or maintenance performed.
Exclusions from coverage
– Items reimbursable under your New Vehicle
Limited Warranty.
– Gasoline.
– Windshield washer additive (except when in
conjunction with scheduled maintenance).
–
Tires, wheel alignment, tire balance and rotation.
– Wear and tear of soft trim items, such as:
seats, carpets, moldings, headliner, door pan-
els and all chrome trim.
– Damage detected when performing the rust
perforation inspection.
– 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-
BMW accessories, or use of improper, poor
quality or contaminated fuel.
–
Altered or unreadable Vehicle Identification Num-
ber (VIN) or odometer irregularities or vehicles
where the true mileage cannot be determined.
– Maintenance or repair after the vehicle is
deemed a total loss.
– Maintenance or repairs performed by other
than an Authorized BMW center within the
United States or Puerto Rico.
– Vehicles used in competitive events.
– Oil changes performed outside the recom-
mended 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 and 100,000 miles.
Maintenance Program
The BMW Maintenance 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.
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.

The BMW Maintenance Program
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 Microfilter
䉯 Brake fluid
䉯 Spark plugs
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.
Have maintenance and repair work performed
by your BMW center. Make sure that the maintenance work is stamped in this Service and Warranty Information Statement. These entries are
the evidence of regular maintenance of your
vehicle and a requirement for warranty claims.
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 17 of this statement.

The vehicles current service status is automatically saved in the vehicles ignition key. The Service Advisor at your BMW center has a device
called a key reader. When your Service Advisor
inserts your key into the key reader, all pertinent
vehicle and servicing data will be available, and
a customized maintenance checklist is printed
out based on the specific operations called for
by the Condition Based Service.
The performance of certain subsequent maintenance elements, as required by the BMW New
Vehicle Limited Warranty, will be specified at
intervals computed by the BMW Service Interval
Indicator as follows:
– Oil Service: Engine oil should be changed with
the engine at operating temperature. Note:
Change oil at least once a year.
All 2007 model year 3 Series vehicles are factory-filled with BMW High Performance Synthetic
oils. At the time of the printing of this booklet,
the following oils are strongly recommended
and approved by BMW:
• BMW High Performance 5W-30 Synthetic Oil
(BMW part number 07 51 0 017 866)
• Mobil 1 0W-40
BMW is evaluating various synthetic oils for
inclusion in our list of recommended engine oils.
For the most current list of synthetic oils, please
contact your BMW center, or call BMW of North
America, LLC. at 1 800 831-1117. You can also
obtain this information from our website,
www.bmwusa.com/.
BMW recommends that you check your engine
oil level whenever you add fuel to your vehicle. If
you need to add oil between oil changes and
are unable to obtain BMW High Performance
Synthetic Oil, Mobil 1 or another special oil on
the list, use a synthetic oil with an API rating of
SH or higher.
The following maintenance elements must be
performed at the mileage/time stated (time
intervals begin from the vehicles production
date):
– Brake Fluid Service: Change brake fluid every
two years, or when specified by CBS.
– 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. For the 328i
SULEV (PZEV) models, the oxygen sensor
must be replaced every 150,000 miles. The
replacement of the oxygen sensor is required
under the terms of the applicable BMW emission system warranties.
– Spark Plug Service:
Replace as specified by CBS.
– The engine coolant has a lifetime rating and
does not need to be changed.
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 elements specified above during other
repairs.
Make sure that confirmation of maintenance
work is always entered in this Service and Warranty Information Booklet. You may need this for
any warranty claims that become necessary, and
later on as evidence that your car has been
given the correct and regular maintenance that
justifies its resale or trade-in value.
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
6
operations and driving style. Your BMW center
has made a substantial investment in unique
BMW special service tools to enable his BMW
factory trained service technicians to perform
quality repairs on your BMW in minimal time.
Your service technician looks forward to serving
your every service need and to help maximize
your satisfaction with your BMW, its longevity,
and resale value.
