Condition Based Service
MODEL
[NEW] All models with Condition Based Service
SITUATION
This information is intended to provide a general system overview of Condition Based Service (CBS), which is an advanced development of the
previous Service Interval Indicator systems.
CBS measures, monitors and determines the required maintenance of several service items independently of each other. This technology prompts the
customer to bring the vehicle in for service whenever one of the CBS items requires maintenance or replacement. CBS strikes a compromise between
too frequent maintenance intervals and too rigid service intervals that call for the replacement of service items that may still have substantial
remaining useful life. CBS also details the recommended, due, and overdue required maintenance during and after the BMW Vehicle Maintenance
Program Agreement.
[NEW] For details of CBS service items and maintenance intervals, refer to the vehicle and model year specific Service Information bulletins
entitled "New Vehicle Preparation and Maintenance Requirements" located in Group 00 or the relevant Owner's Manual.
SERVICE RECOGNITION
BMW X5 M (E70) V8-4.4L Turbo (S63) Page 415
The vehicle recognizes when a service is required using the following three methods:
A. Adaptive, using sensor technology and algorithms to determine the required maintenance of a service item depending upon the individual
customer driving style. For example:
^ Oil change is determined from the engine oil condition sensor which monitors the oil condition, oil level, and oil temperature, and from
additional algorithms using these parameters: engine load, fuel consumption, time and distance since the last oil change.
^ [NEW] Microfilter replacement (dependent on vehicle model and CBS version).
^ Replacements of front and rear brake pads are determined from 2-stage brake lining wear sensors located on the left front and right rear brake
pads, and from residual wear algorithms using these input parameters: travel distance, wheel speed, braking pressure, braking time, and
braking frequency.
B. Fixed Time (months) to determine the required maintenance of a service item. For example:
^ Brake Fluid and Engine Coolant changes.
^ State Safety and Emissions Inspections.
C. Fixed Distance (miles) to determine the required maintenance of a service item. For example:
^ Vehicle Check.
^ [NEW] Spark plug replacement (dependent on vehicle model and CBS version)
^ [NEW] State Safety and Emissions inspections
D. [NEW] Connected to Oil Service, based on which oil service being performed. For example:
^ Spark plug replacement (dependent on vehicle model and CBS version)
^ Air filter
^ Automatic transmission fluid
^ Microfilter replacement (dependent on vehicle model and CBS version)
[NEW] SERVICE INDICATION (EXCEPT E65 AND E66)
The service indicators are displayed in two possible locations inside the vehicle:
1. Instrument Cluster
The Instrument Cluster CBS display uses two separate displays:
^ A colored symbol in the center upper display:
^ Orange for normal
^ Yellow for service due
^ Red for service overdue
^ The remaining distance display is in the center lower display.

E65 AND E65 SERVICE INDICATION
The service indicators can be displayed in three different locations inside the vehicle:
A. The Service Need Display (SBA) , located in the Instrument Cluster under the Speedometer, is the evolution of the SIA4 Service Interval Display.
When the ignition (KL15 Terminal) is on, the SBA appears briefly. The first line specifies the mileage range before the next service is due. The
second line, displayed by a clock symbol, specifies the time range before the next service is due. If service is overdue, a minus sign ("-") will appear
with the overdue mileage or time.
For example: The next mileage-dependent service item is due in 350 miles and the next time-dependent service item is due in 14 months.
B. The Check Control Display located in the Instrument Cluster under the tachometer.
BMW X5 M (E70) V8-4.4L Turbo (S63) Page 419
For example: If either the front or rear brake linings are worn, the following is displayed:
^ "Service, see Vehicle menu" is displayed in the Check Control Display. For more detailed information, the user can access the CBS Menu in the
Control Display.
^ The general brake warning lamp and the variable control lamp illuminate in the Instrument Cluster.
^ The variable control lamp shows the symbol of a car on a lifting platform in the bottom center of the Instrument Cluster.
C. The CBS Menu in the Control Display provides additional information on any required service. The CBS Menu can be accessed by doing the
following:
