Required fuel
Premium Unleaded Gasoline,
Minimum Octane Rating: AKI 91.
Minimum Octane Rating corresponds to the Anti Knock Index AKI and is determined according to the so-called (R+M)/2 method.
Do not use leaded gasoline, as otherwise the lambda probe and
catalytic converter will be permanently damaged.<
The use of poor-quality fuels may result in drivability, starting and
stalling problems especially under certain environmental conditions such as high ambient temperature and high altitude.
Should you encounter drivability problems which you suspect could be related to the fuel you are using, we recommend that you respond by switching to a recognized high-quality brand.
Failure to comply with these recommendations may also result in unscheduled maintenance.<
Fuel tank capacity
>Approx. 16.6 gal./63 liters, of which
>approx. 2.1 gal./8 liters are reserve capacity.
Do not drive to the last drop of fuel. This can prevent the engine
from operating properly and result in damage.<
Use high-quality brands
Field experience has indicated significant differences in fuel quality: volatility, composition, additives, etc., among gasolines offered for sale in the United States and Canada. Fuels containing up to and including 10% ethanol or other oxygenates with up to 2.8 % oxygen by weight, that is, 15% MTBE or 3% methanol plus an equivalent amount of cosolvent, will not void the applicable warranties with respect to defects in materials or workmanship.

The key set
1Master keys with remote control. They govern the functions of the Key Memory. Certain functions in your vehicle may operate differently depending on the key, refer to
page 68.
To distinguish between keys, you can mark each key with remote control by applying one of the colored decals that you received when accepting delivery of your vehicle
In every master key with the remote control feature there is an
extended-life battery that is charged automatically in the ignition lock as you drive.
Therefore, use otherwise unused master keys for a longer journey every six months so that the battery can be charged.<
2Spare key – for storage in a safe place, such as in your wallet. This key is not intended for constant use. The luggage compartment lid and the glove compartment cannot be locked and unlocked with this key. This is useful for valet parking, for example
The concept
The central locking system engages and releases the following locks at the same time:
>doors
>luggage compartment lid
>fuel filler door
>glove compartment.
The central locking system is ready for operation whenever the driver's door is closed.
The central locking system can be operated
>from outside via the door lock as well as via the remote control
>from inside by pressing a button.
The fuel filler door is not locked when the central locking system is activated from the inside, refer to page 32.
When the system is actuated from the outside, the anti-theft system is also activated. This prevents the doors from being unlocked via the lock buttons or the release handle. The alarm system is also activated or deactivated.
The central locking system is automatically deactivated in the event of an accident. In addition, the hazard warning flashers and interior lamps come on.

The concept
The remote control also provides two additional functions beyond the central locking feature:
>To switch on interior lamps, refer to page 30.
With this function you can also search for the vehicle when parked in an underground garage, for instance
>To open the luggage compartment lid, refer to page 30.
The luggage compartment lid will open slightly, regardless of whether it was previously locked or unlocked.
Whenever you unlock or lock the vehicle, you simultaneously deactivate/activate the anti-theft system, disarm/arm the alarm system and switch the interior lamps on/off.
You can have a signal set to confirm that the vehicle's locks have
engaged securely.<
Master keys with remote control
Persons or animals inside the vehicle may be able to lock the
doors from the inside. For this reason, you should always take the vehicle keys with you so that the vehicle can be opened again from the outside at any time.<
If it is no longer possible to lock the vehicle via the remote control,
the battery is discharged. Use this key while driving for an extended period in order to recharge the battery.
To prevent unauthorized use of the remote control, surrender only the spare key when leaving the vehicle for valet parking, for example.
In the event of a system malfunction, please contact your BMW center. You can also obtain replacement keys there.<
