BMW Valet Program (750iL only)
The BMW Valet Program is a benefit designed to provide a "Premier Care Experience" for 2001 750iL customers. This program is provided as standard
service on every 2001 750iL purchased from any Authorized BMW center in the United States or Puerto Rico for the duration of the New Vehicle Limited
Warranty period of 48 months or 50,000 miles, whichever occurs first.
Any authorized BMW center in the United States or Puerto Rico will pick up your vehicle from any reasonable location when a recommended maintenance
or warranty repair appointment is made by you. In addition, upon your request, your authorized BMW center will provide you with a free BMW loaner
vehicle for the duration of the repair. Upon completion of repairs to your vehicle, your authorized BMW center will return your vehicle to you.
For additional details and restrictions on this program please contact your authorized BMW center.
BMW Maintenance Programs - 2001 Models
Maintenance Programs are a benefit designed
to help reduce the cost of scheduled and unscheduled maintenance.
Every 2001 750iL purchased from any Authorized BMW center in the United States or Puerto
Rico is covered by Full Maintenance for the new
vehicle warranty period of 48 months or 50,000
miles, whichever occurs first.
All other 2001 model vehicles purchased
from any Authorized BMW center in the United
States or Puerto Rico are covered by Full Maintenance for 36 months or 36,000 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 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 either Maintenance Program.
Coverage
Full Maintenance covers all factory recom-
mended 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
Vehicle Limited Warranty - such as brake pads,
brake rotors, and wiper blades - 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 statement 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 Service and Warranty Information
Statement should be presented to your BMW
center when maintenance is required. Your
BMW center will stamp this book documenting
the services or maintenance performed.
Exclusions from coverage
– Items reimbursable under your New Vehicle
Limited Warranty.
– Gasoline and gasoline additive.
– Windshield washer additive (except when in
conjunction with scheduled maintenance).
– Tires, wheel alignment, tire balance and ro-
tation.
– 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, im-
proper 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-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 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.
Upgrades
Note: For those vehicles covered by Full
Maintenance for 36 months/36,000 miles,
BMW offers the possibility to upgrade to Full Maintenance for 48 months/50,000 miles. This upgrade
can be purchased through your authorized BMW
center during the first 36 months or 36,000 miles of
ownership, whichever occurs first. See your center
for details. Programs subject to change.

Maintenance System
The BMW Maintenance System 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.

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

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 a
BMW center.
If the speedometer, tachometer or coolant temperature gauge should develop a fault, the Service lndicator will probably cease to operate correctly as well, since it depends on correct speed,

A detailed list of all maintenance operations included in each of the elements of the BMW
Maintenance System is found on pages 4-13.
These elements are as follows:
Quality Certification I will be performed by your
selling center and certified on the following page.
The performance of certain subsequent maintenance elements, as required by the BMW New
Vehicle Limited Warranty, will be specified at intervals computed by the BMW Service Interval
Indicator as follows:
All Models:
– Oil Service: Engine oil should be changed
with the
engine at operating temperature.
Note:
On all models change oil at least once
a year.
All 2001 model year BMWs 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 for all models (except M
roadster, M coupe):
• BMW High Performance 5W-30 Synthetic
Oil (BMW part number 07 51 0 017 866)
• Mobil 1 5W-30
• Mobil 1 5W-40
M roadster, M coupe:
The only approved engine oils are:
Castrol TWS Motorsport SAE 10W-60 Synthetic, or Castrol Formula RS 10W-60 Synthetic (BMW part number 07 51 0 009 420).
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 BMW center, or call BMW
of North America at 1-800-831-1117. You can
also obtain this information from our website,
www.bmwusa.com/.
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
vals begin from the vehicle’s production date):
– Brake Fluid Service: Change brake fluid every
– Engine Coolant Service: Change coolant
– Oxygen Sensor Service: The oxygen sensor
at the mileage/time stated (time inter-
two years.
every four years.
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: Certain 2001 model
BMWs are equipped with platinum-tipped spark
plugs. These allow a longer service life than
conventional plugs. On models so equipped,
replace spark plugs every 100,000 miles.
Please see your BMW center for the most
current information.
For your convenience, you may also wish to have
your BMW 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 BMW 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.

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 center, perhaps while regular maintenance is performed.
Your BMW 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
2001 BMWs, and are subject to change. The most
current maintenance recommendations are available from your authorized BMW center.
