BMW B58 maintenance intervals
What BMW's own US maintenance booklets schedule for the 340i, M340i, 440i, M440i, 540i, 740i, 840i, X3/X4 M40i, Z4 M40i and X5/X6/X7 40i, plus SixLine's labelled estimates for everything else — in miles and kilometres.
BMW's maintenance booklets never name an engine: they list services by model column and count them in engine oil services ("every 6th engine oil service, approx. 60,000 mi"). This page reads those booklets for the cars that carry the B58 and prints their figures in the first two tables. Where BMW gives no number, a separate table shows SixLine's own estimates, labelled as such.

Intervals BMW prints for B58 cars
| Item | Booklet interval | Distance | Booklet years |
|---|---|---|---|
| Engine oil and oil filter (derived, see below) | every oil service | ≈ 10,000 mi ≈ 16,000 km | MY2016–2026 |
| Ventilation microfilter | 2nd service | ≈ 20,000 mi ≈ 32,000 km | MY2016–2026 |
| Remote-control key battery | 2nd service | ≈ 20,000 mi ≈ 32,000 km | MY2019–2026 |
| Engine air filter element | 3rd, 4th or 5th service, depending on model and year | ≈ 30,000 mi ≈ 48,000 km ≈ 40,000 mi ≈ 64,000 km ≈ 50,000 mi ≈ 80,000 km | MY2016–2026 |
| Spark plugs | 6th service | ≈ 60,000 mi ≈ 96,000 km | MY2016–2026 |
| Oxygen sensors (150,000 mi for California-warranty and SULEV cars) | 120,000 mi | 120,000 mi ≈ 193,000 km | MY2016 |
| Oxygen sensors | 150,000 mi | 150,000 mi ≈ 241,000 km | MY2017–2026 |
| Gasoline particulate filter | 150,000 mi | 150,000 mi ≈ 241,000 km | MY2026 |
An oil service is the booklet's unit, but no booklet prints a mileage for the oil change itself (BMW calls it Condition Based Service). The distance shown for one oil service is therefore derived, our own division of what the booklets do print: from MY2017 the 2nd service is "approx. 20,000 mi", so one service ≈ 10,000 mi ≈ 16,000 km; in MY2014–2016 spark plugs are due "at every 6th Engine Oil Service (approximately 60,000 miles)", so one service ≈ 10,000 mi ≈ 16,000 km. The oil change itself is not fixed: CBS counts it down on the car, and BMW also codes some cars with a shorter or longer oil interval (option codes 8K…). BMW of North America's bulletin SI B01 06 13 (October 2013) states the engine-oil "Due in" date uses a 12-month interval on BMW vehicles produced on or after July 1, 2013 (24 months before that; E71 and E88 excepted), and the vehicle check a 48-month interval.
How the intervals change by model year
| Booklet | One oil service (derived) | Air filter | Spark plugs | Cabin filter |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| MY2016 | ≈ 10,000 mi | 4th | 6th | 2nd |
| MY2017 | ≈ 10,000 mi | 4th / 5th | 6th | 2nd |
| MY2018 | ≈ 10,000 mi | 4th / 5th | 6th | 2nd |
| MY2019 | ≈ 10,000 mi | 4th | 6th | 2nd |
| MY2020 | ≈ 10,000 mi | 4th | 6th | 2nd |
| MY2021 | ≈ 10,000 mi | 4th | 6th | 2nd |
| MY2022 | ≈ 10,000 mi | 4th | 6th | 2nd |
| MY2023 | ≈ 10,000 mi | 4th | 6th | 2nd |
| MY2024 | ≈ 10,000 mi | 4th | 6th | 2nd |
| MY2025 | ≈ 10,000 mi | 4th | 6th | 2nd |
| MY2026 | ≈ 10,000 mi | 3rd / 4th | 6th | 2nd |
Air-filter timing depends on the model column, so different cars on this engine can sit at different services in the same year.
SixLine's estimates for everything else
BMW leaves these items to CBS or gives no number: brake pads and brake discs run through CBS, brake fluid is a CBS item with no figure, and the cooling system is described as long-term rated. So SixLine starts from the preventive estimates below. They are SixLine's own numbers, not BMW's, and every interval can be edited in the app. For a US car covered by a booklet, the BMW figures in the table above replace the estimate for those items.
