BMW Excluservice Recommended Maintenance Schedule for “CBS” and Non “M” cars.
“CBS” Also known as Condition Based Service cars have an on board computer that tells you when and what maintenance is due, through either the turn signal stalk or the “I” drive if your vehicle is so equipped.
Your BMW is preprogrammed from the factory to tell you to perform the following services at certain intervals, while most of them are pretty accurate, some are not and some are even omitted completely.
