Replacing components
Onboard tool kit
The onboard tool kit is located in the lug-
gage compartment lid.
Loosen the wingnut to open.
The adapter for the spare key can be stored
beneath the open-ended spanners.
Windshield wiper blades
To replace the blades, start by folding the
wipers out and away from the windshield,
refer to page 73.
Lamps and bulbs
The lamps and bulbs are essential factors
contributing to the safety of your vehicle.
Therefore, comply fully with the following
instructions during bulb replacement. If you
are not familiar with the specified proce-
dures, have the replacements carried out at
your BMW center.
Never touch the glass on new bulbs
with your bare fingers, as even minute
amounts of contamination will burn into the
bulb's surface and reduce its service life.
Use a clean cloth, napkin, etc., or hold the
bulb by its metal socket.<
You can obtain a selection of replacement
bulbs at your BMW center. To prevent short circuits, before wor-
king on any electrical system, equip-
ment or accessory you should always
switch it off and disconnect the cable from
the battery's negative terminal before star-
ting.
To avoid possible injury or equipment
damage when changing bulbs, observe any
instructions provided by the bulb manufac-
turer.<
When maintaining the headlamps,
please comply with the instructions in
the separate Care manual.<
Headlamps
For checking and adjusting headlamp
aim, please contact your BMW
center.<
Engine compartment, left side:
Turn the quick-release fasteners 905 coun-

passing traffic. Park on a firm, flat surface.
Switch on the hazard warning flashers.

Procedure
1.Read carefully and comply with the
safety precautions on page 198
2.Secure the vehicle to prevent it from
rolling:
Place the wheel chock against the rear
surface of the front tire on the side
opposite the side being raised. If the
vehicle is parked on a downward slope,
place the wheel chock securely in front
of the tire. If the wheel must be changed
on a surface with a more severe slope,
take additional precautions to secure
the vehicle from rolling
3.Loosen the lug bolts 1/2 a turn
4.Set up the jack beneath the jacking
point closest to the flat tire. Ensure that
the entire surface of the jack's base is in
firm contact with the ground and that
the jack itself is standing completely
vertical, not tilted, and that the fitting on
the top of the jack will align with the
rectangular recess on the vehicle when
you raise it, refer to illustration
5.Jack the vehicle up until the wheel you
are changing is raised from the ground
6.Unscrew the lug bolts and remove the
wheel
7.Remove accumulations of mud or dirt
from the mounting surfaces of the
wheel and hub. Clean the lug bolts
8.Position the spare wheel. Secure the
wheel by turning at least two lug bolts
into opposite bolt holes
9.Screw in the remaining lug bolts.
Tighten all the bolts securely in a diag-
onal pattern 10.Lower the jack and remove it from
beneath the vehicle
11.Tighten the lug bolts in a diagonal pat-
tern
12.Check and correct the tire inflation
pressure at the earliest opportunity.
Protect valve stems and valve stem
seal caps against dirt and contamina-
tion. Dirt in valve stems is a frequent source
of gradual air loss.<
Vehicles with a Flat Tire Monitor or TPM
Tire Pressure Monitor:
After mounting a spare tire or correcting
the inflation pressure(s) always reinitialize
the system, refer to page 98 or 99.
The vehicle jack is designed for chan-
ging wheels only. Do not attempt to
raise another vehicle model with it or to
raise any load of any kind. To do so could
cause accidents and personal injury.
To ensure safety, always have the lug bolts
checked with a calibrated torque wrench to
ensure that they are tightened to the speci-
fied torque of 140 Nm as soon as pos-
sible.<
Reverse the removal sequence to store the
wheel and tools in the vehicle.
When you mount wheels other than Ori-
ginal BMW light-alloy wheels, different lug
bolts may also be required.
Always have damaged tires replaced and
the wheel and tire assembly rebalanced at
the earliest possible opportunity.
Driving with the spare tire
On certain wheel-tire combinations,
the size of the spare tire deviates from
that of the rest of the tires. The spare tire is
fully capable of running in all load and
speed ranges. However, to recreate the
original conditions, the tire should be
replaced as soon as possible.<

To avoid short circuits, as well as pos-
sible fires and personal injury, always
disconnect the cable from the battery's
negative terminal before working on the
vehicle's electrical system.<
Battery switch
Before storing the vehicle for an extended
period of several weeks or more, slide the
battery switch located behind the trim
panel on the right side of the luggage com-
partment to OFF. This reduces the current
flow from the battery for the period during
which the vehicle remains parked.
A message appears in the Check Control
panel. Please take note of the supplemen-
tary information provided in the Control
Display.
Never disconnect either battery cable
from its terminal while the engine is
running Ð the resulting voltage surge would
destroy the vehicle's electronic systems.<
Disposal
Return used batteries to a recycling
point or your BMW center. Maintain
the battery in an upright position for trans-
port and storage. Always restrain the bat-
tery to prevent it from tipping over during
transport.<
Fuses
Spare fuses are located on the fuse strip in
the glove compartment; plastic tweezers
can be found at the fuse holder in the lug-
gage compartment.
In the glove compartment
Press the tab on the cover to the front, then
fold up the cover.
Never attempt to repair a blown fuse,
and do not replace a defective fuse
with a substitute of another color or
amperage rating, as this could lead to a cir-
cuit overload, ultimately resulting in a fire in
the vehicle.<
In the luggage compartment
Use the handle to pull down the trim on the
right wall.

positive terminal of the support battery.
To do so:
Connect one terminal clamp to the pos-
itive terminal of the battery or to an aux-
iliary terminal for jump starting on the
support vehicle. Connect the second
terminal clamp on the positive terminal
of the battery or an auxiliary terminal for
jump starting of the vehicle to be
started.
On your BMW, there is a special nut as
body ground on the suspension strut
dome, see arrow 2 in the illustration
3.Use the second jumper cable to set up
the connection between the negative
terminals of both vehicles.
To do so:
Connect a terminal clamp to the nega-
tive terminal of the battery and/or to an
engine or body ground of the support
vehicle.Connect the second terminal
clamp to the negative terminal of the
battery or to an engine or body ground
of the vehicle to be started.
Starting the engine
1.Start the engine on the support vehicle
and allow it to run for several minutes at
a fast idle
2.Start the engine on the other vehicle in
the usual way.
If the first start attempt is not suc-
cessful, wait a few minutes before ano-
ther attempt in order to allow the
discharged battery to recharge
3.Allow the engines to run for several
minutes
4.Disconnect the jumper cables by
reversing the connection sequence.
If required, have the battery inspected and
recharged at your BMW center.
Never use spray fluids to start the
engine.<
Towing
Even if the transmission is in perfect
working order, remember to disen-gage the transmission lockout manually
before towing the vehicle. Failure to
observe this precaution could result in
automatic activation of the transmission
lockout while the vehicle is being towed.<
Releasing transmission lockout manually,
refer to page 70.
Tow fitting
The threaded tow fitting is stored in the tool
kit mounted on the inside of the luggage
compartment lid, refer to page 195, and
should always remain in the vehicle. This
fitting, which fits the tow sockets on both
the front and the rear of the vehicle, is
intended exclusively for use in towing the
vehicle on paved roads.
Access to tow sockets
Press the arrow symbol to push out the
cover.
Front
