BMW 325ci Convertible (2005 year). Instruction - part 1

Introduction
(for SULEV (PZEV) only)

Certain 325i models are certified to
California’s stringent Super Ultra Low
Emission Vehicle (SULEV) standards and
also qualify as a Partial Zero Emission
Vehicle (PZEV) under the California Air
Resources Board Zero Emission Vehicle
program. In addition to very low tailpipe and
zero-evaporative emissions, this PZEV
certification includes a unique warranty
when the vehicle is registered in California
and certain Northeastern states as indicated
elsewhere in this booklet.

The emission certification standard can be
verified on the Vehicle Emission Control
Information label located in the engine
compartment. A representative label is
shown below, with the SULEV (PZEV)
certification indicated by the arrow.

BMW Full Maintenance
Programs - 2005 Models

BMW Full Maintenance Programs are a benefit
designed to help reduce the cost of scheduled
and unscheduled maintenance.

2005 3 Series vehicles

 

(except M3)

purchased from any Authorized BMW center
in the United States or Puerto Rico are
covered by Full Maintenance for 48 months or
50,000 miles, whichever occurs first. Coverage
begins on the date of first retail sale or the date
the vehicle is first placed in service as a
demonstrator or company vehicle, whichever
is earlier.

Any authorized BMW center in the United
States or Puerto Rico will perform the sched-
uled or additional maintenance services on
your vehicle at no expense to you. The
maintenance schedule intervals are based on
normal driving conditions and operation.

Should you request more frequent mainte-
nance service, the cost of these services
will not be covered by the Maintenance
Program.

Coverage

Full Maintenance

 covers all factory recom-

mended maintenance, as determined by the
service interval indicator. Additional items that
need replacement due to normal wear and
tear, and that are not covered by the original
New Vehicle Limited Warranty - such as brake
pads, brake rotors, and wiper blade inserts -
are included, provided wear and tear
exceeds BMW specifications. Any adjust-
ments required due to normal operating
conditions are also included. See pages 6-9
of this booklet for additional information.

Maintenance Intervals

Time intervals should be followed using the
maintenance interval as indicated by the BMW
Service Indicator lights on the check control
panel in the dashboard.

This BMW Service and Warranty Information
Booklet should be presented to your BMW
center when maintenance is required. Your
BMW center will stamp this book documenting
the services or maintenance performed.

perforation inspection.

– Damage which results from negligence,

improper operation of the vehicle, wear and
tear or deterioration due to driving habits or
conditions, improper repair, environmental
influences, flood, accident or fire damage,
road salt corrosion, alteration, installation of
non-BMW accessories, or use of improper,
poor quality or contaminated fuel.

– Altered or unreadable Vehicle Identification

Number (VIN) or odometer irregularities or
vehicles where the true mileage cannot be
determined.

– Maintenance or repair after the vehicle is

deemed a total loss.

– Maintenance or repairs performed by other

than an Authorized BMW center within the
United States or Puerto Rico.

Maintenance System

The BMW Maintenance System has been
devised with the following objectives: to
maximize vehicle safety, reliability, and resale
value by minimizing breakdowns resulting from
wear, and minimizing cost and inconvenience
by computing maintenance intervals based
upon the specific manner in which each
individual vehicle is driven.

Maintenance intervals on motor vehicles have
conventionally been specified based upon
accumulated mileage. However, the type of
driving conditions has a major influence on
routine maintenance requirements; distance
traveled is only one of the significant factors.
A vehicle driven for 50,000 miles of short trips
in the city with numerous cold starts, pro-
longed periods of idling, stop-and-go driving,
and high engine speeds during acceleration
requires more frequent maintenance
intervals than a vehicle driven for 50,000
miles for long distances at low engine
speeds primarily at operating temperature.

The advanced technologies at BMW have led
to the development of the unique BMW service
interval indicator which computes the actual
optimum maintenance requirements based
not only upon the accumulated mileage, but
taking into account important factors such as
engine coolant temperatures, high or low
engine speeds, short or long trip driving, and
number of vehicle starts. The maintenance
interval may therefore be maximized with
considerable savings to owners of vehicles
subjected to light duty.

The

 Service Interval Indicator 

consists

 

of a

mileage reading, and the inscriptions “OIL
SERVICE” and “INSPECTION”.

Whenever the ignition is switched on, the
display shows the next scheduled type of
service and the remaining distance until the
service should be performed. The distance is
based on your driving style.

If the maintenance interval has been ex-
ceeded, a “—” symbol reminds you of the
urgent need for servicing. In the interests of
road safety and reliability, you should 

avoid

driving your BMW when the “—” symbol is
showing, 

and have the essential maintenance

work performed without delay.

After each maintenance is performed the service
indicator is reset in order to compute the next
service interval.

If the Service Interval Indicator displays an
illogical reading, or if there is no display, consult
a BMW center.

If the speedometer, tachometer or coolant
temperature gauge should develop a fault, the
service interval indicator will probably cease to
operate correctly as well, since it depends on
correct speed, distance and temperature
readings. The fault must be located and rectified
by a BMW center.

A detailed list of all maintenance operations
included in each of the elements of the BMW
Maintenance System is found on pages 6-9.
These elements are as follows:

Quality Certification I will be performed by your
selling center and certified on page 5.

The performance of certain subsequent
maintenance elements, as required by the
BMW New Vehicle Limited Warranty, will be
specified at intervals computed by the BMW
service interval indicator as follows:

– Oil Service: Engine oil changed with the

engine at operating temperature.

Note: change oil at least once a year.

Your BMW is factory-equipped with a
newly-developed synthetic engine oil. At
the time of the printing of this booklet BMW
High-Performance Synthetic 5W-30 Oil
(Part Number 07 51 0 017 866) and Mobil 1
5W-30 and 5W-40 oils are strongly
recommended and approved by BMW for
the 3 Series models covered in this booklet.
BMW is evaluating various synthetic oils for
inclusion in our list of recommended motor
oils.

For the most current list of synthetic oils,
please contact your BMW center, or call
BMW of North America at 1-800-831-1117.
You can also obtain this information from
our website, www.bmwusa.com/.

It is recommended to check engine oil level
whenever fuel is added to the vehicle.

If you need to add oil between oil changes
and are unable to obtain BMW High Per-
formance Synthetic Oil, Mobil 1 or another
special oil on the list, use a synthetic oil
with an API rating of SJ or higher.

– Inspection I: Major vehicle maintenance

as specified in the following pages under
Inspection I.

– Inspection II: Additional major vehicle

maintenance as specified in the following
pages under Inspection II.

The following maintenance elements must
be performed at the mileage/time stated
(time intervals begin from the vehicle’s
production date):

– Brake Fluid Service: Change brake fluid

every two years.

– Oxygen Sensor Service: The oxygen sensor

deteriorates strictly on a mileage basis and
must therefore be replaced every 120,000
miles (3 Series with optional Sequential
Manual Gearbox (SMG) 100,000 miles), to
maximize vehicle fuel economy and
minimize exhaust pollution.  In the SULEV
(PZEV) models, the oxygen sensor must
be replaced every 150,000 miles. The
replacement of the oxygen sensor is
required under the terms of the appli-
cable BMW emission system warranties.

– Spark Plug Service: Replace spark plugs

every 100,000 miles. Your BMW is
equipped with platinum-tipped spark plugs.
These allow a longer service life than
conventional spark plugs.

– Automatic Transmission Service: Change

ATF every 100,000 miles.

The engine coolant has a lifetime rating and
does not need to be changed.

For your convenience, you may also wish to
have your BMW center perform any necessary
operations to fulfill any state inspection
requirements in your area concurrent with the
maintenance elements specified above during
other repairs.

Make sure that confirmation of maintenance
work is always entered in this Service and
Warranty Information Booklet. You may need
this for any warranty claims that become
necessary, and later on as evidence that your
car has been given the correct and regular
maintenance that justifies its resale or trade-in
value.

BMW has applied the most modern techno-
logical advances not only to the design and
production of your vehicle, but also to comput-
ing of the optimum maintenance interval for
your type of operations and driving style. Your
BMW center has made a substantial invest-
ment in unique BMW special service tools to
enable his BMW factory trained service
technicians to perform quality repairs on your
BMW in minimal time.  He/she looks forward to
serving your every service need and to help
maximize your satisfaction with your BMW, its
longevity, and resale value.

Unscheduled Maintenance

Only use fuels advertised to have adequate
detergency and low alcohol content.  Use of
fuels with insufficient detergent and/or excess
alcohol can cause driveability problems that
necessitate cleaning intake valves and fuel
injection valves, and, when applicable,
adjusting the engine idle.  We suggest having
this work performed by your authorized BMW
center, perhaps while regular maintenance is
performed. Your BMW center can also recom-
mend a gasoline additive that will provide
sufficient detergency. While this recommended
unscheduled maintenance is not required in
order to maintain the emission warranty,
cleaning of intake valves or, when applicable,
fuel injection valves, or adjustment of engine
idle, necessitated by use of inappropriate fuel,
is not covered by warranty because no defect
in material or workmanship or component
failure is involved.

Special Note

Most maintenance items and schedules stated
herein reflect the combined recommendations
for model year 2005 3 Series BMWs, and are
subject to change.  The most current
maintenance recommendations are available
from your authorized BMW center.

SULEV (PZEV)

If your car is driven only for short distances of
less than 10 miles over a prolonged period of
time, without an occasional drive at highway
speeds, the engine’s charging system will not
maintain the battery.  Insufficient use of the
vehicle could result in short term starting
problems and in the long term could damage
the battery.

In case the car is not operated for more than
four weeks it is advisable to:

a)consider using a proper trickle charger,

following the charger manufacturer’s
instructions, to maintain the battery’s state of
charge; or

b)consult your BMW center regarding battery

removal.  Once removed, the battery must be
charged and stored in a cool, dry place
where it can be protected from freezing.  If
the battery will be stored for over 3 months, it
must be recharged every 3 months, or else it
will become damaged and useless.

Please consult with your BMW center for
further guidance and information.

Corrosion Protection

Extensive corrosion protection measures
implemented by BMW now make it possible to
offer a twelve-year limited mileage anti-
corrosion warranty against rust perforation on
your vehicle provided that the vehicle is
maintained in accordance with the provisions
of the New Vehicle Limited Warranty as
outlined in the Warranty Section of this
Statement (page 30).

The major degree of corrosion protection is
due to the electrophoretic dip painting process
which cathodically deposits paint particles on
all body parts, attracting paint particles into the
minutest cavities or seams.  Body parts are
designed to provide optimum corrosion
protection.

During manufacture, exterior body parts
receive an additional corrosion protection coat.
Hood, trunk, doors and other body parts with
metal folds are coated with PVC and sealed
from the outside.

All floor panels receive a resilient coating of
PVC for maximum protection against damage
due to stones, etc.

Corrosion protection materials tested over
many years are applied to the surfaces of
cavities and to the entire underside of the
vehicle during and after assembly.

Requirements for maintaining the twelve-year
unlimited mileage anti-corrosion warranty are
outlined in the Warranty Section of this
Statement (page 32).

Restoring corrosion protection

Please take care that anti-corrosion material is
replaced when your car is repaired after body
or chassis damage.

BMW will not accept any liability for any
parts and accessories not approved by
BMW.

Underbody maintenance

The underbody has to be cleaned at least
once a year, in spring, with plain water in order
to remove mud, chemical sediments and other
deposits.  If those materials are not removed,
corrosion (rust) will occur.

Your BMW center will do this anti-corrosion
service for you.

WARNING

Do not apply additional undercoating or rust-
proofing on or near the exhaust manifold,
exhaust pipes, catalytic converter or heat
shields.  During driving, the substance used
for undercoating could overheat and cause
a fire.
