Changing wheels
Your BMW comes with run-flat tires as standard
equipment. This eliminates the need to change
a wheel immediately in the event of a puncture.
For information on continuing to drive with a
damaged tire, refer to Indication of a flat tire on
page83.
The symbol identifying run-flat tires is a circle
with the letters RSC on the sidewall, refer to
Run-flat tires, page200.When mounting new tires or changing over
from summer to winter tires and vice versa,
mount run-flat tires for your own safety. In the
event of a flat, no spare wheel is available. Your
BMW center will be glad to advise you. Refer
also to New wheels and tires, page200.
The tools for changing wheels are avail-
able as optional accessories from your
BMW center.<

Replacing the battery

venience functions are completely available.
