Condition Based Service (CBS)

~1min read

Sensors and special algorithms take into account the various operating conditions of your BMW. Based on them, the CBS indicator determines not only the current scope of work but also the work that will need to be performed in the near future. The system allows you to take your wishes into account when ordering maintenance and relieves you of concern about the condition of the vehicle.

You can display on the control display the differentiated mileage and time remaining until specific work is due and until the next statutory vehicle inspection:

► engine oil;
► brakes: front and rear separately;
► microfilter/activated-charcoal filter;
► particulate filter;
► brake fluid;
► spark plugs;
► vehicle inspection;
► other inspections and checks required by law.

This data is continuously recorded while driving in the main vehicle key.

A BMW service advisor can read this data and suggest an optimal service schedule for you. Therefore, when handing over the vehicle for service, give the service staff the key that was last in the ignition lock.

For CBS to function properly, the date must be set correctly on the control display.◄
