Battery Care
If your car is driven only for short distances of
less than 10 miles over a prolonged period of
time, without an occasional drive at highway
speeds, the engine’s charging system will
not maintain the battery. Insufficient use of
the vehicle could result in short term starting
problems and in the long term could damage
the battery.
In case the car is not operated for several
weeks it is advisable to:
a) consider using a proper trickle charger, following the charger manufacturer’s
instructions, to maintain the battery’s
state of charge; or
b) consult your BMW center regarding battery removal. Once removed, the
battery must be charged and stored in a
cool, dry place where it can be protected
from freezing. If the battery will be stored
for over 3 months, it must be recharged
every 3 months, or else it will become
damaged and useless.
Please consult with your BMW center for
further guidance and information.

Corrosion Protection
Extensive corrosion protection measures
implemented by BMW now make it possible
to offer a twelve-year unlimited milage anti-
corrosion warranty against rust perforation
on your vehicle provided that the vehicle is
maintained in accordance with the provisions
of the New Vehicle Limited Warranty as
outlined in the Warranty Section of this
Booklet (page 32).
The major degree of corrosion protection is
due to the electrophoretic dip painting
process which cathodically deposits paint
particles on all body parts, attracting paint
particles into the minutest cavities or seams.
Body parts are designed to provide optimum
corrosion protection.
During manufacture, exterior body parts
receive an additional corrosion protection
coat. Hood, trunk, doors and other body
parts are coated with PVC and sealed from
the outside.
All floor panels receive a resilient coating of
PVC for maximum protection against
damage due to stones, etc.
Corrosion protection materials tested over
many years are applied to the surfaces of
cavities and to the entire underside of the
vehicle during and after assembly.
Requirements for maintaining the 12-year
unlimited mileage anti-corrosion warranty
are outlined in the Warranty Section of this
Booklet (page 34).
Restoring corrosion protection
Please take care that anti-corrosion material
is replaced when your car is repaired after
body or chassis damage.
BMW will not accept any liability for any
parts and accessories not approved by
BMW.
Underbody maintenance
The underbody has to be cleaned at least
once a year, in spring, with plain water in
order to remove mud, chemical sediments
and other deposits. If those materials are
not removed, corrosion (rust) will occur on
metal components.
Your BMW center will do this anti-corrosion
service for you.
WARNING
Do not apply additional undercoating or rust-
proofing on or near the exhaust manifold,
exhaust pipes, catalytic converter or heat
shields. During driving, the substance used
for undercoating could overheat and cause a
fire.
