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
Maintenance Upgrade Option
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:
䉯 Items reimbursable under your New Vehicle
Limited Warranty
䉯 Windshield washer additive (except when in
conjunction with scheduled maintenance)
䉯 Tires, wheel alignment, tire balance and
rotation
䉯 Parking brake shoes/linings
䉯 Reset Tire Pressure Monitor
䉯 Wear and tear of soft trim items, such as:

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:
*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.
2
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.

The current service status is automatically saved
in the vehicle’s key. The Service Advisor at your
authorized 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.
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:
䉯 The specified CBS service counter interval
䉯 The time interval (the first occurrence based
on the vehicle’s production date)
䉯 The stated mileage for a “non-connected”
maintenance service
Refer to pages5-6foradditional 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.
4
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
