The BMW Maintenance Program 2007 X5 3.0i and 4.8i
The BMW Maintenance Program is a benefit
designed to help reduce the cost of scheduled
and unscheduled maintenance.
Every 2007 X5 purchased from an authorized
BMW SAV center in the United States or 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 in
service as a demonstrator or company vehicle,
whichever is earlier.
Any authorized BMW SAV center in the United
States or Puerto Rico will perform the scheduled
or additional maintenance services on your vehicle at no expense to you. The maintenance
schedule intervals are based on normal 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 SAV Limited Warranty such as brake pads, brake rotors and wiper blade
inserts - are included, provided wear and tear
exceeds BMW specifications. Any adjustments
required due to normal operating conditions are
also included. See pages4-6ofthis booklet for
additional information.
Maintenance Intervals
Time intervals should be followed using the Conditioned Based Service (CBS) data.
This BMW X5 Service and Warranty Information
Booklet should be presented to your authorized
BMW SAV center when maintenance is required.
Your authorized BMW SAV center will stamp this
book documenting the services or maintenance
performed.
Exclusions from coverage
– Items reimbursable under your New BMW SAV
Limited Warranty.

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
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.
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 brought up to date by your BMW center. Also see the section on battery care on page
15 of this statement.

The vehicles current service status is automatically saved in the vehicles ignition key. The Service Advisor at your SAV 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 SAV 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 X5s 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 5W-30
• Mobil 1 5W-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 SAV center, or call BMW of North
America, LLC. at 1 800 831-1117. You can also
obtain this informationfrom 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 vehicle’s 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 the following
intervals to maximize vehicle fuel economy and
minimize exhaust pollution.
120,000 miles.
– Spark Plug Service: Replace at 100,000 miles,
or as determined 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 SAV 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 SAV 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 X5 in minimal time. Your service
technician looks forward to serving your every
service need and to help maximize your satisfaction with your X5, its longevity, and resale value.
