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 SAV centers using Original BMW Parts.

Special Notes on the Diesel Engine

At ambient temperatures below approximately 32ºF, starting the engine of the X5 xDrive35d may be delayed for a few seconds while the automatic fuel preheating system is active. An indicator lamp in the instrument cluster will illuminate during this time. Start the engine only after the indicator lamp goes out.

Automatic fuel preheating indicator lamp

Engine breaking-in: Prior to driving the first approximately 1,250 miles, do not exceed an engine speed of 3,500 rpm; avoid full-throttle acceleration and using the “kick-down”

function of the transmission. After this mileage, engine speeds can be gradually increased.

The BMW Advanced Diesel engine is designed to run only on Ultra-Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD). This fuel designation contains a maximum of 15 parts per million (ppm) of sulfur. Service stations which dispense this fuel will have their pumps marked with this label:

The use of biodiesel fuel is acceptable as long as the content is no higher than 5% (B5) which meets ASTM D6751 specification. If a biodiesel rated higher than B5 (such as B10 or B20) is pumped into the vehicle, damage to the fuel system components may occur.

If gasoline, B10 or higher biodiesel, or any other improper fuel (i.e., low-sulfur diesel) is pumped into your diesel vehicle: at the first notion of the mistake, stop pumping and do not start the vehicle. Serious engine damage can occur! Contact your BMW SAV center or Roadside Assistance immediately.

The BMW X5 xDrive35d is equipped with a misfueling system which is intended to prevent gasoline from being pumped into the tank. Most automotive diesel fuel nozzles will be of the recommended diameter (24mm). When inserted into the fuel-filler neck, the fuel nozzle simultaneously presses two safety tabs located inside the fuel-filler neck; this will allow the fuel nozzle to be fully inserted for refueling.

A gasoline fuel nozzle diameter is smaller (21mm) than an automotive diesel fuel nozzle. If a gasoline fuel nozzle is inserted into the fuel-filler neck of your diesel vehicle, the smaller diameter fuel nozzle will not be able to simultaneously press the two safety tabs; this will prevent the fuel nozzle from being fully inserted into the fuel-filler neck.

To allow emergency filling of diesel fuel in locations using a commercial (truck) size diesel fuel filler nozzle which is larger than the nozzle for passenger cars, and/or for filling stations which dispense diesel fuel from a non-conforming sized nozzle, a diesel misfueling bypass adapter is included in your vehicle.

The X5 xDrive35d’s engine oil is different than the BMW gasoline engines. Use only “low-ash” fully synthetic oils meeting BMW’s long-life rating LL-04. One such oil is Castrol SLX Professional OE SAE 5W-30 (Castrol #06070). This oil is also available at BMW SAV centers under BMW part number

07 51 0 037 195.

The X5 xDrive35d is equipped with a traditional dipstick located in the engine compartment.

To check the engine oil level:

1.Park the vehicle on a level surface with the engine at operating temperature (i.e., after driving continuously for at least 7 miles).

2.Turn the engine off.

3.Wait at least 5 minutes.

4.Pull the dipstick out and wipe dry with a lint-free cloth, paper towel or similar item.

5.Carefully push the dipstick fully into the tube, then pull out again.

6.The oil level must be between the two marks.

The quantity of oil between the two marks is approximately 1 quart.

The X5 xDrive35d is equipped with Selective Catalyst Reduction (SCR) technology. Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) is injected into the exhaust system to help reduce the emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOx). DEF is designed to last until your next oil change before it needs to be refilled. However, depending on your vehicle needs, you can run out of DEF before you reach the interval. The instrument cluster warning lamp will warn you before DEF is depleted, starting at approximately

1,000 miles.

Refill DEF indicator lamp (yellow)

Note: If you continue to drive until the mileage reaches 0, a new warning will appear (NO START IN – – – MILES). Once this warning appears, you will only be able to restart the

engine one more time if this is done within 3 minutes of last shutting it off. Beyond this time interval, the engine will not restart until DEF is refilled!

Empty DEF indicator lamp (red)

DEF is available from your nearest BMW Service Center. Or, refer to your vehicle Owner’s Manual for refilling DEF yourself.

An additional warning lamp in the instrument cluster may illuminate if the diesel particulate filter requires service.

The BMW Maintenance Program

The BMW Maintenance Program is a benefit designed to help reduce the cost of ownership. The 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.

2011 X5 and X6 vehicles purchased from an authorized BMW SAV center in the United States or Puerto Rico are 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 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.

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 SAV Limited Warranty - such as brake pads, brake rotors and wiper blade inserts - are included, provided wear and tear exceeds BMW specifications. Any applicable adjustments required due to normal operating conditions are also included. See pages 9 - 10 of this booklet for additional information.

Exclusions from coverage include the following:

Items reimbursable under your New SAV Limited Warranty

Gasoline and diesel fuel

Gasoline and diesel fuel additive

Diesel glow plugs

Diesel particulate filter

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 panels and all chrome trim

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-genuine 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 SAV center within the United States or Puerto Rico

Vehicles used in competitive events

Oil changes performed outside the recommended maintenance intervals as indicated by the Service Interval Display

DEF changes performed outside the recommended maintenance intervals as indicated by the Service Interval Display (X5 xDrive35d only)

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 or 100,000 miles, whichever occurs first.

Intervals

Time intervals should be followed using the maintenance interval as indicated by the Condition Based Service (CBS) display.

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.

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:

Engine oil

Brakes - front and rear separately

Brake fluid

Vehicle check

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.

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 SAV center. Also see the section on battery care on page 19 of this Booklet

Special Note

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 most current maintenance recommendations are available from your authorized BMW SAV center.

The performance of certain subsequent maintenance items or services, as required by the New SAV 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 2011 model year X5 (except X5 xDrive35d see below) and X6 vehicles are factory-filled with BMW High Performance Synthetic oils. We recommend BMW High Performance 5W-30 Synthetic Oil (BMW part number

07 51 0 017 866) for regular scheduled engine oil changes.

All 2011 model year X5 xDrive35d vehicles are factory-filled with a different BMW High Performance Synthetic oil than on gasoline engines. We recommend BMW High Performance 5W-30 Diesel Synthetic Oil (BMW part number 07 51 0 037 195) for regular scheduled engine oil changes.

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 BMW High Performance Synthetic Oil is unavailable, you may top up the oil level with one of the following approved synthetic oils. For information on checking your engine oil level refer to your vehicle’s Owner’s Manual.

For gasoline engines:The synthetic oils listed below meet BMW’s Long-life rating LL-01:

Castrol Syntec European Formula SAE 0W-30

Mobil 1 SAE 0W-40

Pennzoil Platinum European Formula Ultra SAE 5W-30

Valvoline SynPower SAE 5W-30

The choice of the right SAE grade is based on the climatic conditions in the region in which you normally drive your BMW. To best determine which SAE grade is best suited for your vehicle, contact an authorized BMW center.

If you are unable to obtain BMW High Performance Synthetic Oil or an approved synthetic oil from the list above, use only a synthetic oil with an API rating of SM or higher.

For diesel engines: the synthetic oil listed below meets BMW’s Long-life rating LL-04 (X5 xDrive35d only):

Castrol SLX Professional OE SAE 5W-30 Fully Synthetic

The following maintenance services 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. Replace at 120,000 miles.

Spark Plug Service (not shown in CBS): All models replace at 60,000 miles or at every 4th Engine Oil Service.

The engine coolant has a long-term rating and does not need to be changed except for system repairs.

For your convenience, you may also wish to have your BMW SAV 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 BMW SAV 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.
