The BMW Maintenance Program 2007 BMW ALPINA B7
The BMW Maintenance Program is a benefit
designed to help reduce the cost of ownership.
2007 BMW ALPINA B7 model vehicles purchased from any Authorized BMW center in the
United States or Puerto Rico are covered by
Maintenance 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.
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 blade inserts - are included, provided
wear and tear exceeds BMW wear limits. Any
adjustments required due to normal operating
conditions are also included. See pages5-6of
this booklet for additional information.
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
Number (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 Intervals
Time intervals should be followed using the
using the Conditioned Based Service (CBS)
data.
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.
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 coolant, 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 16 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.
3
Note: Change oil at least once a year.
All 2007 model year BMW ALPINA B7 are factory-filled with a mineral based “break-in” engine
oil. At the first engine oil service (approximately
1200 miles), the break-in oil is drained and
replaced with BMW High Performance Synthetic
Oil. This oil is specified for the service life of the
vehicle. 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)
• Castrol SYNTEC 0W-30 Synthetic Oil
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 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 at 120,000 miles
to maximize vehicle fuel economy and minimize exhaust pollution.
– Spark Plug Service: Replace at 30,000 miles,
or when 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 Statement. 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
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.
1200 Mile Service
The engine in your BMW ALPINA B7 is a racebred engine design which includes increased
power output and maximum engine speeds. The
increased power output also affects other major
drivetrain components. The 1200 Mile Service
requires changing the oil in the engine, as well
as in the differential.
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.
