Installation
Insert the wind deflector in its proper orien-
tation into the guides 1 provided on the
rollover bars.
Refer to the labeling on the wind deflector
to determine its proper orientation.
The wind deflector must engage
firmly, as it could otherwise become
detached at higher vehicle speeds.<
The wind deflector panels 2 in the rollover
bars cannot be removed.
Removal
Slide both locks inward and remove the
wind deflector.
Clothes hooks
Clothes hooks 1 are located on the wind
deflector panels in the rollover bars.Do not hang heavy objects on the
hooks. If you do, they could endanger
the passengers, for example during braking
or evasive maneuvers.<
Storage
For storage, e.g. to achieve a better view to
the rear when the convertible top is closed,
there are two brackets on the inside of the
luggage compartment lid.
Insert the wind deflector into the brackets.
Make sure that the wind deflector
cannot be damaged by objects in the
luggage compartment.<
Alarm system*
The concept
The vehicle alarm system responds:
>When a door, the hood or the luggage
compartment lid is opened
>When attempts are made to start the
vehicle
>To movement inside the vehicle
>To alterations in the vehicle tilt, e.g. as
would occur during attempts to steal
the wheels or tow the vehicle
>To interruption of battery voltage.
The alarm produced by the system in the
event of unauthorized vehicle entry and
attempted theft depends on the country
version:
>Sounding of an acoustical alarm for
30 seconds
>Activation of the hazard warning flash-
ers for approx. five minutes.

Lamps and bulbs
The lamps and bulbs make essential contri-
butions to the safety of your vehicle. There-
fore, comply fully with the following instruc-
tions during bulb replacement. If you are
not familiar with the procedures, BMW rec-
ommends that you have your BMW center
carry out the work.
Do not touch the glass portion of
a new bulb with your bare hands
since even small amounts of impurities
burn in to the surface and reduce the ser-
vice life of the bulb. Use a clean cloth,
paper napkin or a similar material, or hold
the bulb by its metallic base.<
A replacement bulb set is available from
your BMW center.
Before working on the electrical sys-
tem, switch off the electrical acces-
sory you are working on or disconnect the
cable from the negative terminal of the bat-
tery. Failure to observe this precaution
could result in short circuits.
To prevent injuries and damage, always
comply with any instructions provided by
the bulb manufacturer.<
