When cleaning the headlamps, 
please observe the following: do 
not wipe dry with a cloth (scratches). 
Never use abrasives or strong solvents 
to clean the covers. Remove dirt and 
contamination (such as insects) by 
soaking with BMW Car Shampoo and 
then rinsing with plenty of water. 
Always use a deicer spray to remove 
accumulated ice and snow Ð never use 
a scraper.< 
Xenon lamps
*  
The service life of these bulbs is very 
long and the probability of a failure is 
very low, provided that they are not 
switched on and off an unusual number 
of times. Nevertheless, if one of the 
lamps should fail, you can continue 
driving using the fog lamps if local laws 
permit this.
Because of the extremely high 
voltages involved, any work on the 
lighting system, including bulb replace-
ment, should be performed only by 
technicians with the appropriate qualifi-
cations. Failure to comply with this 
creates a risk of fatal injury.<
