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

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.◀

even when the display shows --
mls, as long as it is not switched

Do not continue driving to the limit of the
remaining travel distance. Otherwise, you will
not be able to restart the engine after switching
it off.◀
Filling with incorrect fuel If the incorrect fuel is used to refuel the
vehicle, a warning light comes on on the
instrument cluster.
After adding the wrong fuel, contact your service
center.
Having the vehicle refilled with Diesel
exhaust fluid
Diesel exhaust fluid is replenished by your Serv‐
ice Center in the course of regularly scheduled
maintenance. Provided you observe this main‐
tenance schedule, it is not normally necessary
to replenish the fluid between maintenance ap‐
pointments.
It may be necessary to have the fluid replenished
under particular circumstances, for example if
the vehicle is driven in a particularly sporty style
or if it is driven at high altitudes.
The Diesel exhaust fluid must be replenished as
soon as the reserve display appears in the in‐
strument cluster to avoid not being able to re‐
start the engine.
You can have the fluid replenished by any Serv‐
ice Center.
Diesel exhaust fluid at low
temperatures
Due to its physical properties, it is possible that
Diesel exhaust fluid may also need to be replen‐
ished between regular maintenance appoint‐
ments if it is exposed to temperatures below
+23 ℉/ -5 ℃.
The need to replenish it is indicated by the Re‐
serve display in the in the instrument cluster, re‐
fer to page 175.You can replenish the Diesel exhaust
fluid yourself in exceptional
circumstances
In order to reach the nearest Service Center with
your vehicle, you can replenish the Diesel ex‐
haust fluid yourself, provided you pay close at‐
tention to the following warning notices.
Handling Diesel exhaust fluid

into contact with your skin, as this may cause
skin or eye irritation. Preferably, wear protective
goggles and gloves. Follow the safety instruc‐
tions on the bottle. When the bottle or container
is opened, acrid smelling fumes may escape.
When handling Diesel exhaust fluid indoors,
make sure the room is well ventilated. After
working with Diesel exhaust fluid, wash your
hands thoroughly, otherwise you may inadver‐
tently transfer fluid to your eyes and suffer irri‐
tation. If irritation of the eyes does occur, flush
your eyes immediately with abundant water and
consult a doctor as necessary. If Diesel exhaust
fluid comes into contact with the surfaces of
your vehicle, wash off the affected surfaces with
water, otherwise the surface may be damaged.
