The BMW Maintenance Program 2006 X5 3.0i, 4.4i, 4.8is
The BMW Maintenance Program is a benefit
designed to help reduce the cost of scheduled
and unscheduled maintenance.
Every 2006 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 Service Interval Indicator. 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 pages 5-8 of this booklet for additional information.
Maintenance Intervals
Time intervals should be followed using the
maintenance interval as indicated by the BMW
Service Indicator lights on the check control
panel in the dashboard.
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.
– Gasoline and gasoline additive.
– Windshield washer additive (except when in
conjunction with scheduled maintenance).
– Tires, wheel alignment, tire balance and rota-
tion.
– Wear and tear of soft trim items, such as: seats,
carpets, moldings, headliner, door panels 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 condi-
tions, improper repair, environmental influ-
ences, 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 vehi-
cles where the true mileage cannot be deter-
mined.
– Maintenance or repair after the vehicle is
deemed a total loss.
– Maintenance or repairs performed by other
than an authorized BMW SAV 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 Indicator.
Maintenance Upgrade Option
Please contact your authorized BMW SAV center
for information regarding an optional 6 year
100,000 mile maintenance upgrade.

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, the type of
driving conditions has 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 Service
Interval Indicator System which computes the
actual optimum maintenance requirements
based not only upon the accumulated mileage,
but taking into account important factors such as
engine coolant temperatures, high or low engine
speeds, short or long trip driving, and number of
vehicle starts. The maintenance interval may
therefore be maximized with considerable savings to owners of vehicles subjected to light duty.
(Typical Display)
The Service Indicator consists of five green,
one yellow and one red Iight-emitting-diodes
(LEDs) and the inscriptions “OIL SERVICE” and
“INSPECTION”.
Whenever the ignition is switched on, up to five
green LEDs will light up, depending on the
amount of use the vehicle has had since the last
maintenance service and your driving style. As
the number of illuminated green LEDs
decreases, this is an indication that the next service is almost due and helps you to make the
necessary arrangements on a timely basis.
The green LEDs disappear when the engine is
started.
Notification that maintenance is required is indicated with the illumination of the yellow LED and
accompanying inscription. These will remain illuminated with the ignition on.
If the maintenance interval has been exceeded,
the red LED will light up in addition to the yellow
one to remind you of the urgent need for servicing. In the interests of road safety and reliability,
you should avoid driving your BMW when the
red LED signal is showing, and have the essential maintenance work performed without delay.
After each maintenance is performed the service
indicator is reset in order to compute the next
service interval.
The green LEDs which then light up with the
ignition show you the interval before the next
maintenance is due.
If the service indicator displays an illogical reading, for instance the green and red LEDs at the
same time, or if there is no display, consult an
authorized BMW SAV center.
If the speedometer, tachometer or coolant temperature gauge should develop a fault, the service indicator will probably cease to operate
correctly as well, since it depends on correct
speed, distance and temperature readings. The
fault must be located and rectified by an authorized BMW SAV center.
A detailed list of all maintenance operations
included in each of the elements of the BMW
Maintenance Program is found on pages 4-8.
These elements are as follows:
2
Quality Certification I will be performed by your
authorized BMW SAV center and certified on the
following page.
The performance of certain subsequent maintenance elements, as required by the BMW New
SAV 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 2006 BMW 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 motor oils.
For the most current list of synthetic oils,
please contact your authorized BMW SAV 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
SJ or higher.
– Inspection I: Major vehicle maintenance as
specified in the following pages under Inspection I.
– Inspection II: Additional major vehicle mainte-
nance as specified in the following pages under
Inspection II.
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.
– Oxygen Sensor Service: The oxygen sensor
deteriorates strictly on a mileage basis and
must therefore be replaced every 100,000
miles to maximize vehicle fuel economy and
minimize exhaust pollution. The replacement of
the oxygen sensor is required under the terms
of the applicable BMW emission system warranties.
– Spark Plug Service: The X5 is equipped with
platinum-tipped spark plugs. These allow a
longer service life than conventional plugs.
Replace spark plugs every 100,000 miles.
– Automatic Transmission Service: Change ATF
every 100,000 miles.
The engine coolant has a lifetime rating and does
not need to be changed.
Please see your authorized BMW SAV center for
the most current information.
For your convenience, you may also wish to have
your authorized BMW 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 SAV Service and
Warranty Information Statement. You may need
this for any warranty claims that become necessary, and later on as evidence that your SAV 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 SAV, but also to computing of the
optimum maintenance interval for your type of
operations and driving style. Your authorized
BMW 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 BMW in
minimal time. He/she looks forward to serving
your every service need and to help maximize
your satisfaction with your BMW, its longevity,
and resale value.

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 authorized selling BMW SAV center.
Unscheduled Maintenance
Only use fuels advertised to have adequate
detergency and low alcohol content. Use of fuels
with insufficient detergent and/or excess alcohol
can cause driveability problems that necessitate
cleaning intake valves and fuel injection valves,
and, when applicable, adjusting the engine idle.
We suggest having this work performed by your
authorized BMW SAV center, perhaps while regular maintenance is performed. Your authorized
BMW SAV center can also recommend a gasoline additive that will provide sufficient detergency. While this recommended unscheduled
maintenance is not required in order to maintain
the emission warranty, cleaning of intake valves
or, when applicable, fuel injection valves, or
adjustment of engine idle, necessitated by use of
inappropriate fuel, is not covered by warranty
because no defect in material or workmanship or
component failure is involved.
Special Note
Maintenance items and schedules stated herein
reflect the combined recommendations for all
model 2006 BMW X5s, and are subject to
change. The most current maintenance recommendations are available from your authorized
BMW SAV center.
