Your individual vehicle
On purchasing your BMW, you have decided in favor of a model with individualized equipment and features. This Owner's Manual describes all models and equipment that BMW offers within the same group.
We hope you will understand that equipment and features are included that you might not have chosen for your vehicle. You can easily identify any differences with the aid of the asterisk used to identify all optional equipment and accessories.
If your BMW features equipment which is not described in this Owner's Manual such as a car radio or telephone, Supplementary Owner's Manuals are enclosed. We ask you to read these manuals as well.
Status at time of printing
BMW pursues a policy of continuous, ongoing development conceived to ensure that our vehicles continue to embody the highest quality and safety standards combined with advanced, state-of-the-art technology. For this reason, the features described in this Owner's Manual could differ from those on your vehicle. Nor can errors and omissions be entirely ruled out. You are therefore asked to appreciate that no claims can be recognized on the basis of the data, illustrations or descriptions in this Owner's Manual.

For your own safety
Fuels
Use unleaded gasoline only. 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 co-solvent – will not void the applicable warranties respecting defects in materials or workmanship. Field experience has indicated significant differences in fuel quality – volatility, composition, additives, etc. among gasolines offered for sale in the United States and Canada. The use of poor-quality fuels may result in driveability, starting and stalling problems, especially under certain environmental conditions, such as high ambient temperature and high altitude. Should you encounter driveability 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 result in unscheduled maintenance.
Obey all applicable safety rules when handling gasoline.<
6 Notes
Maintenance and repair
Advanced technology, e.g. the use of modern materials and high-
performance electronics, requires specially adapted maintenance and repair methods. Therefore, only have corresponding work on your BMW carried out by a BMW center or a workshop that works according to BMW repair procedures with correspondingly trained personnel. If work is carried out improperly there is a danger of consequential damage and the related safety risks.<
Parts and accessories
Important safety information!
For your own safety, use genuine parts and accessories approved by BMW.
When you purchase accessories tested and approved by BMW and Original BMW Parts, you simultaneously acquire the assurance that they have been thoroughly tested by BMW to ensure optimum performance when installed on your vehicle.
BMW warrants these parts to be free from defects in material and workmanship.
BMW will not accept any liability for damage resulting from installation of parts and accessories not approved by BMW.
BMW cannot test every product on the market to determine whether it can be used on a BMW safely and without risk to either the vehicle, its operation, or its occupants.
Original BMW Parts, BMW Accessories and other products approved by BMW, together with professional advice on using these items, are available from all BMW centers.
Installation and operation of non-BMW approved accessories such as alarms, radios, amplifiers, radar detectors,
wheels, suspension components, brake dust shields, telephones – including operation of any portable cellular phone from within the vehicle without using an externally mounted antenna – or transceiver equipment such as a CB, walkietalkie, ham radio or similar, may cause extensive damage to the vehicle, compromise its safety, interfere with the vehicle's electrical system or affect the validity of the BMW Limited Warranty. See your BMW center for additional information.
Do not use key or remote control to lock doors or luggage compartment with anyone inside the vehicle. Refer to the Owner's Manual for more details.<
Maintenance, replacement, or repair of the emission control
devices and systems may be performed by any automotive repair establishment or individual using any certified automotive part.<
Symbol on vehicle parts
Indicates that you should consult the relevant section of this
Owner's Manual for information on a particular part or assembly.

Tire inflation pressure 25 |
|
|
The engine uses lead-free gasoline only.
Required fuel:
>Premium Unleaded Gasoline, min. 91 AKI.
AKI = Anti Knock Index
Never use leaded fuel, as it would cause permanent and irreversible
damage to the oxygen sensor and the catalytic converter.<
Checking tire pressures
Tire pressures in psi/kilopascal are shown on the driver's door post and are visible when the door is open.
Only check the tire inflation pressures of cold tires. This means after driving a maximum of 1.25 miles/2 km or after the vehicle has been parked for at least 2 hours. Warm tires have higher inflation pressures.
In the following tire inflation pressure table, all pressures are specified in the standard units of pressure, psi and kilopascal, and apply to cold tires, i.e. tires at ambient temperature.
Repairs Maintenance Controls Overview
Index Data
26 Tire inflation pressure
Vehicles with Flat Tire Monitor:
After correcting the inflation pressures, reinitialize the system. Refer to
page 92.
Check the tire pressures on a regular basis – at least twice a
month – and before every extended journey. If this is not done, incorrect tire pressures can cause driving instability and tire damage, ultimately resulting in accidents.
Remember to check the inflation pressure in the space-saver or standard spare tire.
Inflate the spare tire to the highest inflation pressure specified for your vehicle.<
Comply with tire approval specifications
The inflation pressures in the table apply to BMW approved tire sizes and tire manufacturers. Your BMW center can provide you with more information about these. Other pressures may be required for tires made by other manufacturers.
Your vehicle is equipped with tires that not only meet US standards, but also European standards. We recommend the exclusive use of BMW approved tires.
