Do not rub them dry and do not use abrasive or
corrosive cleaning agents.
Loosen dirt, e.g. insects, with shampoo and
rinse away with water.
Thaw ice with a de-icer and do not use an ice
scraper.
After washing the vehicle
After washing the vehicle, apply the
brakes briefly to dry them; otherwise,
water can reduce braking efficiency over the
short term and the brake discs can corrode. <

Vehicle care
Care products
BMW recommends using BMW cleaning and
care products since they have been tested and
approved for this purpose.
Follow the instructions on the packaging.
When cleaning inside the vehicle, always
open the doors and windows. Only use prod-
ucts designed for cleaning vehicles. Cleaning
agents can contain substa nces that are danger-
ous or hazardous to your health. <
Vehicle paintwork
Regular care contributes to driving safety and
value retention. Environmental influences in
regions with elevated levels of air pollution or
natural contaminants such as tree sap or pollen
can impact vehicle paintwork. The frequency
and scope of car care should be adapted
accordingly.
Immediately remove particularly corrosive sub-
stances such as spilled fuel, oil, grease, or bird
droppings to prevent damage to the paintwork.
Leather care
Frequently remove dust from the leather using
a cloth or vacuum cleaner.
Otherwise, dust and road grit in the pores and
folds of the leather will otherwise have an abra-
sive effect, resulting in increased wear and
causing the leather surf ace to become brittle
prematurely.
