11 00 300 Engine oil consumption measurement
Attention!
This procedure for measuring oil consumption may not be used for the S 85 due to the oil pan design.
Many complaints about oil consumption are caused by the oil level being measured using the wrong method.
The oil consumption should be measured after a distance of 7,500 km at the earliest, as the process of running in the
engine will not have been essentially completed and the engine oil consumption stabilised until this distance has
been covered.
Engine oil consumption that may occur in an engine can only be determined by the customer on the basis of the
refilled engine oil quantity. As soon as the engine oil level falls below the MAX mark on the dipstick, many customers
top up the engine oil without paying attention to a number of basic rules, such as the vehicle must be standing on
level ground, a certain period of time must be left to allow the oil to flow back to the sump. In such cases, the
available container sizes (e. g. 1-litre can) make it easy to top up above the MAX mark. Too much added engine oil
is damaging to the engine and is consumed more quickly due to the splash effect.
It is therefore recommended to allow the engine oil level to the MIN mark and only then to add the required engine oil
quantity. The distance between the marks is equivalent to approx. 1.0 to 1.5 litres.
The procedure for checking the oil level is given in the Owner's Handbook for the vehicle concerned.
cardiagn.com
The service delegates will only deal with claims made under warranty if exact measurements by weighing are
available (see below).
Measuring oil consumption by weighing:
To assess a warranty or goodwill claim, only the following oil consumption measurement method by weighing can be
accepted (this must have been carried out by a BMW contractual partner):
Note:
The engine must not leak any oil.
Engine oil may only be drained off when the engine is at its normal operating temperature. The engine oil
temperature must be at least 90 °C and read off on the diagnosis system.
Preparation:
1. Eliminate any leaks and traces of oil before measuring the engine oil consumption.
2. Allow the engine to run at idling speed for 5 minutes, during which the engine oil temperature must not drop
below 90 °C.
3. Unscrew the main flow oil filter cover (the engine oil will flow back into the oil sump from the oil filter housing).
4. Unscrew the oil drain plug.
5. Allow the engine oil to drain off for 15 minutes.
If necessary, remove the fan/fan cowl.
6. Turn the engine once through 360 degrees by the vibration damper.
8. Retighten the primary flow oil filter.
9. Pour in the specified engine oil quantity for the engine type in question (with filter change).
10. Drive the vehicle for a distance of at least 1,000 km/500 miles. Increasing the mileage will produce significantly
better measuring results.
Measurement procedure:
11. Check the engine for leaks; if the engine is not tight, the examination will not be meaningful.
12. Prepare the measuring container to be able to capture the oil quantity.
13. Allow the engine to run at idling speed for 5 minutes, during which the engine oil temperature must not drop
below 90 °C.
14. Unscrew the main flow oil filter cover (the engine oil will flow back into the oil sump from the oil filter housing).
15. Unscrew the oil drain plug.
If necessary, remove the fan/fan cowl.
17. Turn the engine once through 360 degrees by the vibration damper.
19. Weight the amount of drained engine oil. (Engine oil has a density of about 0.86 g/cm³ at room
temperature.)
Amount of oil added (cm³) ‐ amount of oil drained off (g): 0.86 g/cm³
Engine oil consumption = —————————————————————————————
mileage reading when draining - mileage reading when adding engine oil
Example:
Volume of oil added at mileage reading 44,800: 4.000 cm³
Weight of oil added at mileage reading 45,900: 2.700 g
4.000 cm3 - 2.700 g : 0.86 g/cm³

Engine oil consumption = —————————————— = 0.78 cm³/km
45,900 km - 44,800 km
0.78 cm³/km = 0.78 l/1,000 km

00 00 ... When driving on a race track
Caution!
The customer must be informed that, in particular, the brake pads, wear indicator and the flat tyre monitor
installed as standard are not designed for race track operation. The vehicle is also not designed for motor
sport competition racing.
Excessive loading of the vehicle, e.g. by operating it on a race track or in motor sport competition racing, is
not covered by the warranty.
If the customer still wants to drive on a race track, the following aspects must be considered/checked, at
least:
The vehicle, or rather the engine, should be carefully run in before operating it on the race track. A run in
period of at least 2000 km.
Recommendation: Carry out an oil change after the run in period.
For driving on a race track, the following extensions must be considered and implemented on the vehicle.

Visual inspection of the brake line and brake hose for tightness, damage and porosity.
Wheels / tyres OK Comment
Check wheels/tyres for suitability for operation on the race track
-> Winter tyres, all-season tyres and tyres on steel rims are absolutely unsuitable.
Recommendation: Use Sport tyres.
Check the tyre pressure of all the tyres and adjust, if required.
-> In order to increase the service life and tyre performance, a reduction in the tyre pressure is
recommended for the race track. To do this, proceed as follows:
cardiagn.com
1. Drive the tyres warm.
2. Set the tyre pressure according to the prescribed value on the tyre pressure label for partial
loads.
3. Initialise RDC.
Note: The display of tyre inflation pressure is possible only up to an operating temperature
of systems of 120 °C. At higher temperatures, which can be reached during racing
operation, the display is suppressed and a CC message is issued. After cooling down, the
system functions again without limitations.
Background: The tyre pressure increases due to the increase in temperature in the tyre when operated on the
race track. This reduces the contact surface of the tyre to the road, leading to an increased temperature load on the
running surface. The adjustment of the tyre pressure in tyres that have been driven warm as opposed to tyres in a
cold state leads to a reduction in the pressure and thus, due to an increased tyre contact area, to a more equal
load on the tyre.

Note:
The protective film is applied to new vehicles at the works. The dealer must
guarantee only expert removal of the protective film.
The protective film should be removed 48 hours before vehicle
handover to the customer.
The protective film can be easily removed from the affected surfaces.
Polishing is necessary only in exceptional cases.
Further information on the protective film is available in the document
"Frequently asked questions on surface protection".
Instructions for removing the protective film:

In order to reduce the amount of force required, the film can be torn at
the edge and pulled off in narrower strips.
Remove the film in a surface temperature range of -10 °C to +50 °C.
Excessively high temperatures can lead to adhesive residue being left
on the surface.
cardiagn.com
In order to achieve the recommended temperature for pulling off the
adhesive film from the vehicle after direct exposure to the sun, it is
possible to carry out a car wash with applied protective film in order to
cool the vehicle down.
Car wash and surface inspection:

Check vehicle surface after the car wash.
Any adhesive residue left on the vehicle surface can be removed by
rubbing by hand or using a cleaning agent R2 (part
number 83 19 0 417 324) or stain remover (part
number 83 11 9 407 816) and a lint-free cloth.
Procedure in the event of paint swelling:

Any paint swelling normally disappears within 48 hours.
Higher temperatures (infrared lamp) accelerate this process.
Polishing of the surfaces is necessary only in rare cases if the heat
treatment does not result in success.

61 20 ... Notes on AGM battery
cardiagn.com
Introduction
In September 2002, the first so-called VRLA batteries, better known as AGM batteries came into use. (VRLA
stands for Valve Regulated Lead Acid, i.e. lead-acid battery with pressure relief valve; AGM stands for Absorbent
Glass Mat, i.e. absorbent glass-fibre fleece).
The constantly increasing energy demand of modern vehicle electrical systems calls for ever more powerful battery
solutions. A modern luxury-class vehicle has some 100 actuator motors that have to be fed with electrical current.
Added to these are safety, environmental and comfort elements which are increasingly becoming standard features,
such as e.g. Antilock Brake System (ABS), Dynamic Stability Control (DSC), steering assistance (EPS), electronic
chassis and suspension control, air conditioning and navigation system. Current consumption is considerable even
when the vehicle is not in use.
The somewhat higher price compared with a battery of similar size is fully balanced by the following benefits:
greatly longer service life
improved starting reliability at low temperatures
reliable starting of engines with high starting current requirements, e.g. high-performance diesel engines
100 % freedom from maintenance
low risk in the event of an accident (reduced environmental risk)
Service life of AGM batteries
Item Explanation Item Explanation
1 Available capacity [%] 2 Mileage [thousand km]
3 AGM battery 4 Lead-calcium battery
cardiagn.com
5 50 % capacity limit
In contrast to conventional lead-calcium batteries, the sulphuric acid in a battery with fleece technology is not held
freely in the battery housing. Rather, 100% of the sulphuric acid is bound into the mats of the glass-fibre fleece
(separators). For this reason, no battery acid can escape if the battery housing is damaged. In addition, the AGM
battery is sealed to be airtight. This is possible because the gases are converted back into water by the permeability
of the separators.
Brief component description
The AGM battery has a black housing and the so-called "Magic Eye" is missing.
Item Explanation Item Explanation

1 Positive grille with silver alloy 2 Positive plate
3 Negative grille 4 Negative plate
5 Separator made of glass-fibre fleece 6 Set of positive plates

7 Set of negative plates 8 Block of plates
9 Block box with base strips
Construction
The AGM battery differs from the conventional lead calcium battery as follows:
larger plates: Larger plates allow a 25% larger power density.
Separators made of glass-fibre fleece: These can cause an up to 3-times higher cycle stability to be reached.
This improves the cold starting capability, the power consumption and service life.
Airtight housing with pressure relief valve (please refer to ”How it works”):
The inspection plugs are sealed and can not be opened.
Battery acid bound in glass-fibre fleece: Battery acid is not found free in the housing as before, but is rather
bound 100% in the glass-fibre fleece. This gives increased security against the acid escaping and thus reduces
the environmental risk.
How it works
The AGM battery differs from conventional batteries in its non-polluting and substance-retaining behaviour during
cardiagn.com
charging.
When a battery is charged, the electrolysis process emits the gases oxygen and hydrogen.
In a conventional wet lead calcium battery, the two gases hydrogen and oxygen are dissipated into the
atmosphere.
In an AGM battery, the two gases are converted back into water: The oxygen which is created at the positive
electrode during charging passes through the permeable glass fibre fleece to the negative electrode. At the
negative electrode the oxygen reacts with the arriving hydrogen ions in the electrolyte to form water (oxygen
cycle).
In this manner, the gas and thus also the electrolyte are not lost.
Only in the event of an excessively heavy build-up of gas, i.e. excessively high pressure build-up (20 to 200 mbar),
does the pressure relief valve discharge the gas. In this process, the pressure relief valve does not allow any oxygen
in the air to enter. Because the pressure in the battery is regulated by a valve, the AGM battery is also known as the
VRLA battery (valve-regulated lead acid).
Notes for Service department
It is necessary when handling an AGM battery to observe some particular points pertaining to battery changing and
installation location.
Charging
Warning! Do not charge the AGM battery with > 14.8 V. Do not use rapid-charging programs!
When charging removed batteries (so-called stand‐alone batteries), do not exceed the maximum charging
voltage of 14.8 V at room temperature. Also, for charging via the external start connection point, the
maximum charging voltage of 14.8 V at room temperature must not be exceeded. The battery can be
damaged even if the AGM battery is only briefly charged with a charging voltage higher than 14.8 V. A
charging voltage of more than 14.8 V is usually used in quick-charging routines.
Installation location
Warning! Do not install the AGM battery in the engine compartment.
The AGM battery must not be installed in the engine compartment on account of the high spatial temperature
differences, otherwise its service life will be significantly shortened.
Housing
Warning! Do not open AGM batteries.
On no account may AGM batteries be opened, as the ingress of oxygen from the atmosphere would cause
the battery to lose its chemical balance, rendering it unserviceable.

Repair wiring harnesses mainly cover the full equipment of the vehicle. If
certain optional equipment is not installed in the vehicle, note the following:
If necessary, secure the remaining connectors.
If necessary, seal the remaining connectors outside the vehicle interior,
cardiagn.com
for example, with butyl tape in such a way that moisture ingress can be
eliminated permanently.
If necessary, repin the connector of the repair wiring harness.
Note:
Repair wiring harnesses can be equipped with an additional socket
housing (30-pin, for example), which was not provided on the previous
vehicle-side wiring harness. This socket housing also cannot be found in
the wiring diagram.
Procedure
The separation point between the vehicle-side wiring harness and the repair
wiring harness is located in the vehicle interior (in the footwell, for
example):
Cut the additional socket housing and connect the lines to the vehicle-
side wiring harness using a butt connector.
Alternatively, a suitable pin housing can be fitted on the vehicle-side
wiring harness and connected to the additional socket housing.
However, this is permitted only if the following conditions are met:
Carpets must not protrude visibly or become deformed due to the
installation of the additional plug connection.
It must be possible to install the adjacent components (for
example, trims, trim panels, etc.) correctly after installing the
additional plug connection.
All the attachment points of the adjacent components (for example,
trims, trim panels, etc.) must engage correctly.
There must be no rattling noise due to the installation of the
additional plug connection.
The additional plug connection must not damage the adjacent
components/wiring harnesses, etc..
The separation point between the vehicle-side wiring harness and the repair
wiring harness is located outside the vehicle interior (in the wheel arch, for
example):
Cut the additional socket housing and connect the lines to the vehicle-
side wiring harness using a butt connector.
Using the additional socket housing is not permitted with a
separation point outside the vehicle interior.

A slight sag with a large radius for the air conditioning condenser is also permissible.
As long as tightness/function are not degraded and an adequate distance of a few mm between the radiator
and air conditioning condenser remains in place, this is not damage in either case.
Radiators or air conditioning condensers are not to be replaced in these cases!

64 50 ... Instructions for handling R1234yf refrigerant
Work on the refrigerant circuit may only be carried out by experts!
Avoid all contact with liquid or gaseous R1234yf. Wear protective goggles and gloves when working on the
refrigerant circuit.
Follow safety information for handling refrigerant R1234yf!
Warning!
Although R1234yf at normal temperature is non-toxic, non-flammable and not explosive in air in any mixture
ratio, it is still essential to follow various safety precautions. At higher temperatures, R1234yf is
inflammable.
As a gas, R1234yf is colourless, odourless and heavier than air. If it enters the atmosphere, this may result in an
imperceptible danger of asphyxiation or in cardiac palpitations, especially in workshop pits. Ventilate rooms
adequately; if necessary, turn on installed extractor systems.
Store filled refrigerant pressure flasks so that they are not subject to direct sunlight or other heat sources (at
maximum 45 °C). Also avoid exposing them to mechanical stress (e.g. by dropping).
Do not weld or solder on to filled air conditioning systems or in rooms into which R1234yf may have leaked.
Exposure to flames or high temperatures (≥ 50 °C) may give rise to toxic products of decomposition (hydrofluoric
cardiagn.com
acid). For this reason, do not smoke either.
In the event of fire, carbon dioxide (CO2), extinguishing powder and a sprayed water jet are deemed to be suitable
extinguishing agents. Cool reservoirs at risk with a sprayed water jet (risk of bursting!).
If the protective caps on the filler valves are difficult to open, there is a risk of injury from leaking valve inserts (high
pressure).
The filled refrigerant circuit of the A/C system is subject to excess pressure. Before carrying out repairs on the A/C
system, it is absolutely essential to draw off the refrigerant.
Before conducting repairs, check the actual pressure drop on the pressure gauge of the A/C service station
R1234yf must be drawn off, cleaned and returned to the A/C system using an A/C service station following the
relevant operating instructions.
For a properly functioning A/C system, it is essential to have the greatest possible levels of cleanliness when working
on the A/C system and the longest possible evacuation (at least 30 minutes dehumidification from refrigerant circuit)
before each filling of the A/C system.
R1234yf easily absorbs moisture. Therefore, seal off opened pipes, air conditioning condenser, evaporator, air
conditioning compressor and dryer flask immediately with seal plugs.
If air conditioning has been completely drained by a leak, accident or repair, the desiccant insert must be
replaced as excessive moisture may have entered the system.
With replacement parts, the plugs may only be removed immediately before the lines are connected. In the event of
warranty claims, the old parts must be provided with plugs to be able to determine the cause of the damage.
Installation note:
After each refilling of an air conditioning, check that protective caps of filling valves are hand-tight. They serve as
additional seals.
