Use only Ultra-Low Sulfur Diesel.
The fraction of biodiesel in the fuel must
not exceed 5 %, referred to as B5. Do not use
gasoline. If you do fill the tank with the wrong
fuel, e.g., gasoline, do not start the engine as this
may damage the engine.◀
After adding the wrong fuel, contact your service
center or roadside assistance.
If the fuel pump nozzle does not fit in the filler
pipe of your BMW, please check to ensure that
you are refueling at a diesel fuel pump that is
equipped with a diesel fuel pump nozzle.
In the event the Ultra-Low Sulfur Diesel fuel can‐
not be fully inserted into the fuel filler neck,
please contact BMW Roadside Assistance for
instructions on how to add fuel. For more infor‐
mation on BMW Roadside Assistance, refer to
page 214.
Winter diesel
To ensure that the diesel engine remains op‐
erational in the winter, use winter diesel.
It is available at gas stations during winter
months.
The fuel filter heating system, included as a
standard feature, prevents disruption of the fuel
supply while driving.
Do not add any diesel additives
Do not add additives, including gasoline;
otherwise, engine damage may occur.◀For vehicles equipped with
BMW Advanced Diesel
The concept
BMW Advanced Diesel reduces nitrogen oxides
in the diesel emissions from your vehicle by in‐
jecting Diesel exhaust fluid reducing agent into
the exhaust system. A chemical reaction takes
place inside the catalytic converter that mini‐
mizes nitrogen oxides.
In order to be able to start the engine as usual,
there must be sufficient Diesel exhaust fluid
present in the separate container.
Warming up the system
In order to warm the engine up to its operating
temperature after a cold start, the automatic
transmission may subsequently shift up to the
next higher gear.
Displays in the instrument cluster
Reserve display
This display in the instrument cluster provides
information about the distance that can still be
driven with the current reserve level.
The Reserve display appears af‐
ter about 1,000 miles/1,600 km
before the supply is predicted to
run out.
Refill in good time
The Diesel exhaust fluid must be replen‐
ished as soon as the Reserve display appears,
otherwise the engine cannot be restarted.◀
Diesel exhaust fluid on minimum The engine will continue to run
even when the display shows --
mls, as long as it is not switched
off and all other operating condi‐
tions are satisfied, sufficient fuel
for example.Seite 175FuelMobility175
