form on the interior of outside lamps. The con-
densation will disappear after a short time when

with the headlamps switch ed on, and additional
moisture builds up, for example water droplets
in the lamps, have them checked by your BMW
center.

These bulbs have a very long service life and are
highly unlikely to fail. If a xenon lamp fails never-
theless, switch on the fog lamps and continue
the journey with great ca re, provided that local
legislation does not prohibit this.
Have all work on the xenon lamp system
performed only by your BMW center. Due
to high voltage, there is a risk of fatal injury if
work on the xenon lamps is carried out
improperly. <

The symbol identifying run- flat tires is a circle
with the letters RSC on the sidewall, refer to
New wheels and tires, page 230.

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, page 230.
