The individual vehicle

On buying 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. Any differences can easily be identified, since all optional accessories and special equipment are marked with
*
an asterisk If your BMW features equipment which
is not described in this Owner's Manual (car radio or telephone, for instance), 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 that is 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, it is possible that 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 legal claims can be entertained on the basis of the data, illustrations or descriptions in this manual.

For your own safety

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. Follow the relevant safety rules when
<
you are handling gasoline.
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 from other manufacturers to verify if 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 (for instance, CBs, walkie-talkie, ham radio or similar ac­cessories) 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 au­thorized BMW center for additional in-
<
formation.
Maintenance, replacement, or
repair of the emission control de­vices and systems may be performed by any automotive repair establishment or individual using any certified auto-
<
motive 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.
For your own safety
The following applies only to vehicles owned and operated in the US.

REPORTING SAFETY DEFECTS

If you believe that your vehicle has a defect that could cause a crash or could cause injury or death, you should immediately inform the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in addition to notifying BMW of North America, Inc., P.O. Box 1227, Westwood, New Jersey 07675-1227, Telephone (201) 307-4000.
If NHTSA receives similar complaints, it may open an investigation, and if it finds that a safety defect exists in a group of vehicles, it may order a recall and remedy campaign. However, NHTSA cannot become involved in individual problems between you, your dealer, or BMW of North America, Inc.
To contact NHTSA, you may either call the Auto Safety Hotline toll-free at 1-800-424-9393 (or 366-0123 in Washington, D.C. area) or write to: NHTSA, U.S. Department of Transportation, Washington, D.C. 20590. You can also obtain other information about motor vehicle safety from the Hotline.

When refueling, insert the filler nozzle completely into the filler pipe. Pulling the nozzle out of the pipe during refu­eling
> results in premature pump shutoff > and will reduce the effect of the
vapor recovery system on the pump.
If the filler nozzle is used correctly, the fuel tank is full when it shuts off for the first time.
Tank capacity: refer to page 187
Fuel filler door
Before filling the tank, shut off the
engine. If you do not, fuel cannot be filled into the tank and the "Service Engine Soon" lamp may come on.<
To open the filler door, press on the front edge.
To unlock the fuel filler door if the cen­tral locking system malfunctions, refer to page 168.
When handling fuels, comply with
all of the applicable safety precau­tions and regulations pertaining to fuels. Never carry spare fuel containers in your vehicle. Whether empty or full, these containers can leak, cause an explosion, or lead to fire in the event of a collision.<
Simple and environmentally friendly
Open the filler cap carefully to
prevent fuel from spraying out. Fuel spray may cause injury. Do not top off. Topping off may cause fuel spillage.<
Keep the filler cap in the bracket attached to the fuel filler door.
Close the fuel cap carefully after refueling. A loose or missing cap
will activate the Check Engine lamp.<

Fuel specifications Tire inflation pressure

The engine uses lead-free gasoline only. However, you can refuel with dif­ferent fuel qualities since the engine is equipped with knock sensors.
In order to achieve rated values for engine performance and fuel consump­tion:
> Super lead-free premium gasoline
(91 AKI).
AKI = Anti Knock Index The minimum fuel quality is: > Regular lead-free gasoline (87 AKI).
Because of the engine’s design, you
should refuel with this gasoline only
as an exception.
Do not use leaded fuels. The use
of leaded fuels will cause perma­nent damage to the system's oxygen sensor and the catalytic converter.<
530us009
You will find tire inflation pressures on the inside door pillar.
Check tire pressures
All pressure specifications are indicated in psi (kilopascal) for tires at ambient temperature (refer also to the next page).
Check tire inflation pressures reg-
ularly — at least every two weeks and before beginning a longer trip. In­correct tire pressure can otherwise lead to tire damage and accidents. Check the tire inflation pressure of the spare wheel. Inflate the spare tire to the highest inflation of any tire on your vehi­cle.<
Comply with tire approval specifications
The inflation pressures in the table ap­ply to tires from BMW-approved manu­facturers. Your BMW center is familiar with these pressures. Higher pressures may be specified for tires from other manufacturers. You will find a list of approved tires beginning on page 132.
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.
