Replacing components
228 4.Adjust the tire inflation pressure to 29 psi/
200 kPa. With the ignition switched on, pro-
ceed as follows:
>To increase the inflation pressure: 
Switch on the compressor, position I. To 
check the current inflation pressure set-
ting, briefly switch off the compressor.
Do not let the compressor run for 
more than 10 minutes, otherwise the 
device will overheat and may be dam-
aged.<
>To reduce the inflation pressure: turn 
screw 8 on the pressure gauge.
If the inflation pressure is not maintained, 
drive the vehicle a second time, refer to 
Distributing the sealant. Then repeat steps 1 to 
4.
Use of the M Mobility System may be ineffec-
tual for tire damage larger than approx. 0.16 in/
4 mm. Please contact the nearest BMW center, 
refer to page230, or a workshop that works 
according to BMW repair procedures with cor-
respondingly trained personnel if the tire can-
not be made roadworthy with the M Mobility 
System.<
The tire inflation pressure must be at least 
29 psi/200 kPa. If it is not, do not continue 
driving.<
Continuing your trip

speed of 50 mph/80 km/h to avoid the risk 
of an accident.<
