CBS Covers Less Than You Think
BMW's CBS monitors engine oil, brake pads, brake fluid, coolant age, and spark plugs. It does NOT monitor: automatic transmission fluid, transfer case fluid, differential fluid, or air suspension fluid. Many 4 Series owners discover overdue drivetrain fluids only at 80,000+ km when symptoms appear. At 4M Car Care we maintain a separate service calendar for drivetrain fluids alongside CBS items — ask us for a full fluid audit at your next visit. A simple ISTA CBS reset at 4M costs RM 80–120.
