BMW Ultimate Service™

Coverage

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

䉯 The BMW Maintenance Program: No-cost

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

䉯 BMW Roadside Assistance: No-cost 24/7

on-the-road assistance for 4 years/unlimited miles from the original in-service date. Also includes alternate transportation and trip-interruption benefits as well as trip routing services.

䉯 New Vehicle Limited Warranty: Limited cov-

erage 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. 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.

2008 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, service loaner (SLP) 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 BMW Maintenance Program covers all factory-recommended maintenance, as determined by the Conditioned 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 pages5-6of this booklet for additional information.

Exclusions from coverage include the following: 䉯 Items reimbursable under your New BMW

SAV Limited Warranty

䉯 Gasoline and gasoline additive 䉯 Windshield washer additive (except when in

conjunction with scheduled maintenance)

䉯 Tires, wheel alignment, tire balance and

rotation

䉯 Wear and tear of soft trim items, such as:

seats, carpets, moldings, headliner, door panels and all chrome trim

䉯 Damage detected when performing the rust

perforation inspection

䉯 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.

䉯 Altered or unreadable Vehicle Identification

Number (VIN) or odometer irregularities or vehicles where the true mileage cannot be determined.

䉯 Maintenance or repair after the vehicle is

deemed a total loss

䉯 Maintenance or repairs performed by other

than an authorized BMW SAV center within the United States or Puerto Rico

䉯 Vehicles used in competitive events

䉯 Oil changes performed outside the recom-

mended maintenance intervals as indicated by the Service Interval Indicator

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 and 100,000 miles.

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, stopand-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.

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.

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 16 of this statement.

Service Interval Display

Info Display screen contents

The distance remaining until your next service briefly appears when you switch on the ignition.

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:

䉯 Engine oil 䉯 Brakes - front and rear separately 䉯 Brake fluid

Display the remaining distance or the service date for the various maintenance operations by pressing the knob in the instrument cluster for approximately five seconds. Then press the knob quickly and repeatedly to display the successive maintenance operations.

No service is currently required.

The service deadline has already passed.

The deadline for service or a state inspection is approaching. Please contact your SAV center for an appointment.

The current service status is automatically saved in the vehicle’s 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.

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 statement, and are subject to change. The most current maintenance recommendations are available from your authorized BMW SAV center.

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:

䉯 Oil Service: Engine oil should be changed

with the engine at operating temperature.

Note: Change oil at least once a year.

All 2008 model year X6 vehicles are factoryfilled 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:

䉯 BMW High Performance 5W-30 Synthetic Oil

(BMW part number 07 51 0 017 866)

䉯 Mobil 1 5W-30 䉯 Mobil 1 5W-40

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):

䉯 Brake Fluid Service: Change brake fluid every

two years, or when specified by CBS.

䉯 Oxygen Sensor Service: The oxygen sensor

deteriorates strictly on a mileage basis and must therefore be replaced every 120,000 miles to maximize vehicle fuel economy and minimize exhaust pollution.

䉯 Spark Plug Service: Replace at 45,000 miles. 䉯 The engine coolant has a lifetime 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 elements specified above during other repairs. Should you request more fre-

quent 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. Your service technician looks forward to serving your every service need and to help maximize your satisfaction with your BMW, its longevity, and resale value.
