The BMW maintenance system supports the
preservation of the traffic and operating safety
of your BMW.
Depending on operating conditions, it may be
advisable to have the body checked for damage
from rocks or gravel as a precaution against cor-

Regular maintenance is not only required for
the safety of the vehicle, it also improves the
resale value.
BMW recommends that you have your

Check that the maintenance work is recorded in
the Service and Warranty Information Booklet
for US models or the Warranty and Service
Guide Booklet for Canadian models. These
entries will serve as proof that the vehicle has
received regular maintenance.<
