The BMW Maintenance Program ­2007 BMW Z4 Roadster 3.0i, 3.0si and Z4 Coupe 3.0si
The BMW Maintenance Program is a benefit designed to help reduce the cost of scheduled and unscheduled maintenance.
2007 BMW Z4 models purchased from any Authorized BMW 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 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 fre-
quent maintenance service, the cost of these services will not be covered by the Mainte­nance Program.
Coverage
The BMW Maintenance Program
tory 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 Vehicle 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 5-8ofthis booklet for additional information.

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 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.
The Service Interval Indicator consists of a mileage reading, and the inscriptions “OIL SER­VICE” and “INSPECTION”.
Whenever the ignition is switched on, the display shows the next scheduled type of service and the remaining distance until the service should be performed. The distance is based on your driving style.
If the maintenance interval has been exceeded, a “--” symbol reminds you of the urgent need for servicing. In the interests of road safety and reli­ability, you should avoid driving your BMW when the “--” symbol 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.
If the Service Interval Indicator displays an illogi­cal reading, or if there is no display, consult a BMW center.
If the speedometer, tachometer or coolant tem­perature gauge should develop a fault, the ser­vice interval 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 a BMW center.
A detailed list of all maintenance operations included in each of the elements of the BMW Maintenance System is found on pages4-13. 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:
– Oil Service: Engine oil changed with the engine
at operating temperature.
Note: change oil at least once a year.
Your BMW is factory-equipped with a newly-
developed synthetic engine oil. At the time of
the printing of this booklet BMW High-Perfor-
mance Synthetic 5W-30 Oil (Part Number 07
51 0 017 866) and Mobil 1 5W-30 and 5W-40
oils are strongly recommended and approved
by BMW for the BMW Z4 models. BMW is eval-
uating various synthetic oils for inclusion in our
list of recommended motor oils.
BMW recommends that you check engine oil
level whenever fuel is added to your vehicle.
2
– 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 120,000 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: 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.
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. 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.

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 2007 BMW Z4 models and are subject to change. The most current maintenance recom­mendations are available from your authorized BMW center.
