Can anyone show me a correct maintenance schedule for my 06 530d E60?

 

The responses on this one might get interesting

 

Nobody? Really?

 

I looked on Mitchell Repair and there is no intervals listed until 100k. (Those not familiar with Mitchell, it is the number one repair source used by independent shops.) Maybe a BMW tech could chime in with some info?

 

The schedule is normally determined by iDrive. You can have oil service, oil brake service, front brakes, rear brakes and vehicle check.

For oil service, BMW TIS gives the following info:

Service - engine oil
? Change engine oil and oil filter
? Handbrake
- Brake in and check for correct function
? A/C system or automatic A/C:
- Change microfilter
? At every 3rd engine oil change
- Intake silencer: change air cleaner element . Shorten intervals accordingly for vehicles operated in
dusty regions.
- Replace main fuel filter. (If necessary, shorten filter-change intervals in case of poor diesel quality)
? Resetting CBS display according to factory specification

For vehicle check:
Service - vehicle check
? Diagnostic brief test
? Check horn, headlight flashers and hazard warning system
? Check instrument and indication field lighting and heater blower
? Check lighting system
? Seat belts: check condition of belt strap, function of inertia reel mechanism, locking reel and belt buckle
? Check windscreen wash/wipe system
? Body: Check for corrosion (except cavities)
? Tyres: Check tread depth, pattern, external condition and inflation pressure and correct if necessary
(compact wheel as well)
? Initialize Run Flat Indicator
? Check battery (magic eye), if necessary recharge battery (issuing a separate invoice for this work)
- Check display (magic eye)
- If necessary: Charge battery
? Steering fluid reservoir: Check fluid level.
? Check coolant level and concentration , top up if necessary
? Windscreen washer system: Check fluid level, top up if necessary
? Brake lines and connections: Check for leaks, damage and correct position
? Underbody incl. all visible components: check for damage, leaks, corrosion
? Steering components: check for zero clearance, leaks, damage and wear
? Check roadworthiness (test drive):
- Brakes
- Steering
- Shock absorbers
- Transmission
? Reset CBS display according to factory specification

Hope this is of use for you.

 

Thanks for the info but it doesn't really help. I'm aware of the idrive meters in regards to oil change etc. A Schedule should show "at what mileage" each preventative maintenance procedure should be performed.

Example; Engine coolant replacement at 120,000 miles or after 5 yrs.

Anyone got this schedule? I have one for my Motorcycle and its a clear table and to the point.

 

If you want to go above & beyond the factory recommended maintenance, check this out.

 

This is for the M5 and other petrol cars. I'm looking for the E60 530D
