1200 Mile Service
The engine in your BMW M5 and M6 is a race-
bred engine design which includes increased
power output and maximum engine speeds
compared to conventional BMW 5 and 6 Series
engines. The increased power output also
affects other major drivetrain components such
as the transmission and the rear axle differential.
The 1200 Mile Service requires changing the oil
in the engine, as well as in the transmission and
the differential. The engine air cleaner element
must also be replaced during this service
operation.
