Replacing components
210 >Vehicle jack
Located in the luggage compartment
behind the right-hand side panel.
Grasp the handle in the upper panel and fold
it down.
Loosen the wingnut and remove the jack.
After use, screw the jack all the way back
down and snap the handle back into place.
Spare tire
1.Loosen the wing nut 1.
2.Remove the washer 2 from the side.
3.Completely unscrew the threaded rod 3.
4.Remove the spare tire.
Preparing for a wheel change
1.Read carefully and comply with the safety
precautions on page209.
2.Secure the vehicle to prevent it from rolling:
Place the wheel chock against the rear sur-
face 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. On a steep
grade, also secure the vehicle against roll-
ing.
3.Loosen the lug bolts a half turn.
Lifting vehicle
1.Position the jack at the jacking point closest
to the wheel so that the entire jack base
makes contact vertically under the jacking
point.
The vehicle jack is designed for
changing 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.<
2.Guide the jack head into the rectangular
recess of the jacking point when cranking
up the jack, refer to section of illustration.
3.Jack the vehicle up until the wheel you are
changing is raised from the ground.
Mounting a wheel
1.Unscrew the lug bolts and remove the
wheel.
2.Remove accumulations of mud or dirt from
the mounting surfaces of the wheel and
hub. Clean the lug bolts.
3.Position the new wheel or spare tire on the
hub and screw in at least two bolts diago-
nally.
When you mount wheels other than Genu-
ine BMW light-alloy wheels, different lug
bolts may also be required.
4.Screw in the remaining lug bolts. Tighten all
the bolts securely in a diagonal pattern.
5.Lower the vehicle and remove the jack from
beneath the vehicle.

After mounting
1.Tighten the lug bolts in a diagonal pattern.
To ensure safety, always have the
lug bolts checked with a calibrated
torque wrench as soon as possible to
ensure that they are tightened to the speci-
fied torque. The tightening torque is
100lbft/140Nm.<
2.Reverse the removal sequence when stor-
ing the wheel and tools in the vehicle.
3.Check and correct the tire inflation pressure
at the earliest opportunity.
Protect valve stems and valve stem
seal caps from dirt and contamina-
tion. Dirt in valve stems is a frequent source
of gradual air loss.<
4.Reinitialize the Flat Tire Monitor, refer to
page90, or reset the Tire Pressure Monitor,
refer to page92.
5.Replace the damaged tire as soon as possi-
ble and have the new wheel/tire balanced.
Driving with spare tire
On certain wheel-tire combinations, the
size of the spare tire differs from that of
the rest of the tires. The spare tire is fully capa-
ble of running in all load and speed ranges.
However, to recreate the original conditions,
the tire should be replaced as soon as possi-
ble.<
Vehicle battery
Maintenance
The battery is 100 % maintenance-free, i.e., the
electrolyte will last for the life of the battery
when the vehicle is operated in a temperate cli-
mate. Your BMW center will be happy to advise
you on all questions concerning the battery.
Charging battery
Charge the battery in the vehicle only via the
terminals in the engine compartment and with
the engine off. Connections, refer to Jump
starting on page213.
Battery switch
Before storing the vehicle for an extended
period of several weeks or more, slide the bat-
tery switch located behind the trim panel on the
right side of the luggage compartment to OFF.
This reduces the current flow from the battery
for the period during which the vehicle remains
parked. A message is shown on the Info Dis-
play. Please take note of the supplementary
information provided on the Control Display.
Disposal
Have old batteries disposed of following
replacement at your BMW center or bring
them to a collection point. Maintain the battery
in an upright position for transport and storage.
Always secure the battery to prevent it from tip-
ping over during transport.<
Power failure
After a temporary interruption in electrical
power, the functioning of some equipment may
be limited and must be reinitialized. Individual
settings are also lost and must be updated
again:
>Seat, mirror, and steering wheel memory
The positions must be stored again, refer to
page46.
>Time and date
These must be reset, refer to page84.
>Radio
Stations must be stored again, refer to
page158.
>Navigation system
You must wait until it becomes operational
again, refer to Inserting navigation CDs/
DVDs on page130.
