BMW i3

BMW i3 with Range Extender

Introduction (for BMW i3 with Range Extender only)

The 2014 BMW i3 with Range Extender is certified to California’s stringent Super Ultra Low Emission Vehicle (SULEV) standards and also qualifies as a Type II Zero Emission Vehicle with Range Extender (Type IIx ZEV) under the California Air Resources Board Zero Emission Vehicle program. In addition to very low tailpipe and zero-evaporative emissions, this certification includes a unique Partial Zero Emission Vehicle (PZEV) warranty when the vehicle is registered in California and certain other states, as indicated in the PZEV section beginning on page 24. PZEV models registered in Delaware, Oregon, Pennsylvania and Washington are covered by the California Emission Warranty beginning on

page 25.

The emission certification standard can be verified on the Vehicle Emission Control Information label located on the underside surface of the tailgate. A representative label is shown below; the Type IIx ZEV certification is stated after the word “California.”

BMW Ultimate Service™

BMW Ultimate Service leads the industry in providing owners with incredible value and peace of mind. This service includes:

The BMW Maintenance Program: No cost factory-recommended maintenance for

4 years/50,000 miles from the original in-service date, whichever comes first.

BMW Roadside Assistance: No-cost 24/7 on-the-road assistance for 4 years/unlimited miles from the original in-service date. Also includes trip-interruption benefits as well as trip routing services.

New Vehicle Limited Warranty: Limited coverage for defects in materials and workmanship for 4 years/50,000 miles from the original in-service date, whichever comes first. Repairs will only be made at authorized BMW centers using Original BMW Parts.

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.

A 2014 BMW i3 vehicle purchased from an authorized BMW center in the United States (including Puerto Rico) is 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 BMW Group company vehicle, whichever is earlier.

Any authorized BMW center in the United States (including Puerto Rico) will perform the scheduled and/or additional maintenance services on your vehicle at no expense to you so long as your vehicle qualifies for coverage under the BMW Maintenance Program.

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 pages 5-6 of this Booklet for additional information.

Exclusions from coverage include the following:

Items reimbursable under your New Vehicle Limited Warranty

Windshield washer additive (except when in conjunction with scheduled maintenance)

Tires, wheel alignment, tire balance and rotation

Parking brake shoes/linings

Reset Tire Pressure Monitor

Wear and tear of soft trim items, such as: seats, carpets, moldings, headliner, door panels and all chrome trim

Damage, including consequential, 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 or installation of non-genuine BMW accessories

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 (including Puerto Rico)

Vehicles used in competitive events

Maintenance Upgrade Option

Please contact your authorized BMW center for information regarding the purchase of optional Maintenance Program Upgrades. Eligibility and coverage exclusions may apply.

Intervals

Time intervals should be followed using the maintenance intervals as indicated by the BMW Condition Based Service.

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.

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, and short or long trip driving.

Condition Based Service (CBS)

CBS is a further development of the Service Interval Indicator System.

The remaining times for selected maintenance tasks as well as any legally prescribed dates are displayed to you individually:

Engine oil (BMW i3 with Range Extender only*)

Brake fluid

Brake service, front*

Brake service, rear*

Vehicle check

Required State Inspection(s)

*As of 7/14 production.

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.

BMW recommends that you have maintenance and repair work performed by your authorized BMW center.

Disconnecting the battery during periods of long-term storage will interrupt the

calculation of time-based services. BMW recommends that you have all items requiring time-based maintenance, such as brake fluid and microfilter, brought up to date by your authorized BMW center

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 completion of certain subsequent maintenance items or services, as required to properly maintain your vehicle, will be specified at intervals computed by the BMW Condition Based Service system as follows:

The Brake Fluid Service must be performed when required as indicated by the following as applicable:

The specified CBS service counter interval

The time interval (the first occurrence based on the vehicle’s production date)

The stated mileage for a “non-connected” maintenance service

Refer to pages 5 - 6 for additional information.

For your convenience, you may also wish to have your authorized 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 authorized 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.

BMW i3 with Range Extender

The small gasoline-powered internalcombustion engine which serves as a generator to the high-voltage (HV) battery does not propel the vehicle directly. This range-extending engine is thereby not subjected to the typical speed ranges and loads as an engine which does propel an automobile. The two spark plugs and the intake air filter are rated for extended life.

BMW recommends the use of BMW fully synthetic oil, viscosity range 5W-30 of the long-life rating LL01 (API rating SL). If this is not available, be sure to use another synthetic oil that meets the same viscosity range and long-life rating.

The oil level can be checked with a dipstick, accessed from the cargo compartment floor. If the oil level is at or beneath the lower mark on the dipstick, have your authorized BMW center fill the engine oil. There is no oil filler cap which can be accessed by the driver.

The Range Extender engine’s oil must be changed every 12 months.

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 authorized BMW center.

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 6 (excluding items noted as “not shown in CBS”). These services may be required either individually or in conjunction with other maintenance services.

High-Voltage Lithium-Ion Battery

Care and Repairs

The BMW i3 and BMW i3 with Range Extender are powered by a high-voltage lithium-ion battery enclosed in a self-contained system. Opening or removing the self-contained system creates a genuine risk of severe damage to the highvoltage lithium-ion battery as well as personal injury, including fatal electrocution.

The high-voltage lithium-ion battery requires no maintenance except for keeping the vehicle’s high-voltage lithium-ion battery charged to proper specifications; refer to the Owner’s Manual.

For the entire duration of the high-voltage lithium-ion battery Limited Warranty and the high-voltage lithium-ion battery Capacity Coverage, repairs performed according to limited warranties and capacity coverage are provided without charge. The vehicle should be taken to an authorized BMW center to have these repairs performed by specially trained personnel under the terms of the high-voltage lithium-ion battery Limited Warranty and the high-voltage lithiumion battery Capacity Coverage.

Corrosion Protection

Extensive corrosion protection measures implemented by BMW now make it possible to offer a 12-year unlimited mileage anti-corrosion warranty against rust perforation on your vehicle provided that the vehicle is properly maintained. Information on proper maintenance is available in this Booklet and your vehicle’s Owner’s Manual.

Body parts are designed to provide optimum corrosion protection.

During manufacture, metal exterior body parts receive an additional corrosion protection coat.

Corrosion protection materials tested over many years are applied to the surfaces of cavities and to the entire underside of the vehicle during and after assembly.

For additional information on the 12-year unlimited mileage anti-corrosion warranty, see the Warranty Section of this Booklet (page 19).
