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.
Use valve stem seal caps to protect 
valve stems 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 page220.
