U06 · 2022–…
Added in summer 2022 (07/2022 according to ADAC), the 223d xDrive is the most powerful diesel and the only one with all-wheel drive. BMW quotes 155 kW in total, 145 kW of it from the diesel engine. Its specification sheet gives no oil-change quantity.

1,995 cc four-cylinder diesel (ADAC: B47C20B) with high- and low-pressure turbochargers with variable intake geometry and 2,500-bar common rail: 145 kW (197 hp) at 4,000 rpm and 400 Nm between 1,500 and 2,750 rpm, plus a 14 kW (19 hp) electric motor with 55 Nm, for 155 kW (211 hp) and 400 Nm in total. xDrive only, seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox, SCR catalytic converter with AdBlue. BMW quotes 7.3 s for 0–100 km/h, 233 km/h and 5.1–4.6 l/100 km WLTP combined (133–121 g/km). The X/24 handbook gives 1,730 kg unladen and a 1,500 kg braked trailer load. Timing chain according to ADAC.
BMW’s 05/2022 specification sheet for this version gives no oil-change quantity, and we do not carry over the 218d’s 6.5 l: ask for the exact quantity for your VIN. For top-ups, the X/24 handbook lists for diesels BMW Longlife-12 FE or Longlife-17 FE+, SAE 0W-20 or 0W-30 (if unavailable, up to 1 litre of ACEA C2 or C5), with no additives. The level is measured electronically: a value is available after about 30 minutes of driving; the detailed measurement (car level, engine warm, selector in N or P) is under Apps › Vehicle › Vehicle status › Engine oil level › Oil level measurement, to be run after every refuelling according to the handbook. Only add oil when the car asks for it, by the quantity given.
The 48-volt electric motor integrated into the dual-clutch gearbox acts as a starter generator: 14 kW and 55 Nm added to the combustion engine’s 145 kW and 400 Nm, for 155 kW and 400 Nm in total according to BMW. It helps when pulling away and accelerating, and smooths Auto Start Stop. It is fed by a 20 Ah 48-volt battery under the luggage floor, recharged by recuperation when braking and decelerating (up to 15 kW per BMW); hence a boot of 415–1,405 litres instead of 470–1,455. The handbook says not to remove that floor, fold its front part up or work on the 48-volt battery; the 12-volt battery is charged with the engine off, through the jump-start points, bonnet open. When coasting, these versions may use no fuel at all. There is nothing to plug in: this is not a plug-in hybrid.
The car calculates each due date from how it is used (Condition Based Service) and briefly shows the next date or remaining distance after switching on; details, including statutory inspections, are under Apps › Vehicle › Vehicle status › Service. BMW’s regular maintenance covers engine oil, brake fluid, a vehicle check, air filter, cabin microfilter and fuel filter. Time-based items such as fluid replacement must be updated by the workshop; the X/24 handbook says periods with the battery disconnected are taken into account. The service history is electronic and replaces the printed service booklet. Neither the handbook nor BMW sets a mileage or period: the reference is the date your car displays.
ADAC lists for the U06 Active Tourer: November 2022 — cars built 07–09/2022: missing parts on the driver’s outer door handle, which could let the door open in a side impact (adapter carrier checked and reworked; 199 cars worldwide); April 2023 — cars built 01/2021–06/2023: outer rear seat belts that may have been trapped by the C-pillar trim during assembly, reducing restraint in a crash (belts checked and reworked); April 2024 — cars built 01/2022–11/2024: a signal fault in the motor position sensor of the integrated braking system can cut hydraulic brake assistance, with ABS and DSC unavailable (software that warns the driver; braking system replaced if a fault is detected); July 2026 — cars built 07/2020–02/2026: wear deposits in the starter relay can cause a short circuit and a fire risk at the starter (starter replaced). Not every car is affected: have a BMW workshop check your VIN.
Check the first-registration date and the power on the registration document (BMW: 155 kW total, of which 145 kW from the diesel engine). Note the items and dates shown under Apps › Vehicle › Vehicle status › Service. Give the service advisor the key the car was last driven with: it stores the service data. Ask for a BMW-approved oil, in the quantity specified for your VIN. Have the AdBlue topped up as well. Then check that the work is entered in the electronic Service History, which a later owner can view.

Due date calculated by CBS
Oil change at the date the car displays; do not run past it. Top-up: BMW Longlife-12 FE or Longlife-17 FE+, SAE 0W-20 or 0W-30. If unavailable, up to 1 litre of ACEA C2 or C5. No additives. Only add the quantity the car’s message asks for.
Source [6]As the service requirement dictates
BMW lists as regular maintenance: brake fluid, a vehicle check to BMW specifications, air filter, cabin microfilter and fuel filter. Each item is triggered by the service requirement the car calculates.

Some maintenance items depend on time, for example replacing operating fluids. The X/24 handbook states that periods with the battery disconnected are taken into account; have the workshop update these items. The handbook gives no period.
Source [6]At the reserve warning
AdBlue to ISO 22241-1, filler next to the fuel cap. Yellow warning: add at least 5 litres; tank empty: at least 10 litres, or the car will not restart once switched off. BMW recommends having it topped up during regular maintenance. Below −11 °C, only add it just before driving off.
Source [6]No owner intervention
The 48-volt battery sits under the luggage compartment floor: do not remove the floor or fold its front part up, and do not replace or work on this battery. Charge the 12-volt battery only with the engine off, through the jump-start points in the engine compartment, with the bonnet open.
Source [6]Regular check, engine cold
Level correct at the Max mark in the filler neck, engine cold (and climate control off, per the X/24 handbook). BMW recommends coolant to BMW LC-18, mixed 50:50 with water; do not mix additives of different colours. Up to two expansion tanks depending on the drive variant.
Source [6]BMW quotes 155 kW in total, combining the diesel engine (145 kW) and the electric motor (up to 14 kW). ADAC gives 155 kW system output and 145 kW for the combustion engine. Your registration document may show either.
No: BMW and ADAC list the 223d only with xDrive. With front-wheel drive, the diesel range stops at the 218d and, since July 2024, the 220d.
1,500 kg braked on a 12% gradient and 750 kg unbraked, with a maximum nose weight of 75 kg, according to the X/24 handbook and BMW’s 05/2022 sheet.
AdBlue to ISO 22241-1, filler next to the fuel cap. At the yellow reserve warning add at least 5 litres; with the tank empty, at least 10 litres, or the car will not restart once switched off. Level and refill quantity: Apps › Vehicle › Live Vehicle › Adaptive content › Vehicle status › AdBlue.

The handbook specifies EN 590 diesel with up to 7% biodiesel (B7), up to 10% (B10) as the minimum quality, plus paraffinic diesel to EN 15940 (XTL). Never petrol; use sulphur-free or the lowest-sulphur fuel available.
