Condition Based Servicing (CBS)
CBS explained......
Later BMW models use a service system called Condition Based Servicing or CBS, an adaptive system that monitors the usage patterns of the car and calculates the service requirements accordingly. The system is designed to get maximum service life out of the components on your car and therefore reduce servicing costs. It can even give you an estimation of the remaining service of your brake pads to ensure you get maximum use from them. The car can give you an accurate read out of the upcoming service requirements through either the ‘idrive’ system (if fitted) or the instrument cluster (accessed using the indicator stalk).
We can read your service data from your Key!
The service requirements can also be read out from your key using our BMW KeyReader, often the easiest way to determine the cars servicing needs. An understanding of this system is crucial for garages to be able to provide the kind of care your BMW or MINI needs without replacing unnecessary parts and incurring extra costs.
