Prepare wheel change1.Follow the Safety instructions, refer to
page 225.2.Loosen the wheel lug bolts a half turn.
Jacking up the vehicle
1.Place the vehicle jack at the jacking point
closest to the wheel such that the vehicle
jack foot is vertically beneath the vehicle
jacking point with the entire surface on the
ground.2.Insert the vehicle jack head in the rectan‐
gular recess of the jacking point for crank‐
ing it up.3.Crank it up until the wheel in question lifts
off of the ground.
Wheel mounting
1.Unscrew the wheel lug bolts and remove
the wheel.2.Put the new wheel or emergency wheel on
and screw in at least two bolts.
If original BMW light alloy wheels are not
mounted, any accompanying lug bolts also
have to be used.3.Screw in the remaining the lug bolts and
tighten all bolts well in a crosswise pattern.4.Lower the vehicle and remove the vehicle
jack.
After the wheel change
1.Tighten the lug bolts crosswise. The tight‐
ening torque is 101 lb ft/140 Nm.Check for secure seating of the lug
bolts
For safety reasons, have the secure seat‐
ing of the lug bolts checked with a cali‐
brated torque wrench; otherwise, a safety
hazard results from incorrectly tightened
lug bolts.◀2.Stow the defective wheel in the cargo area.
The defective wheel cannot be stored un‐
der the cargo floor panel because of its
size.3.Check tire inflation pressure at the next op‐
portunity and correct as needed.4.Reinitialize the Flat Tire Monitor.
Reset the Tire Pressure Monitor.5.Replace the damaged tires as soon as pos‐
sible.
Driving with emergency wheel
Watch the speed when driving with the
emergency wheel
Drive conservatively and do not exceed a
speed of 50 mph/80 km/h; otherwise, changed
driving characteristics such as reduced lane
stability while braking, extended braking dis‐
tance and changed self-steering properties in
the limit area.◀
Mount one emergency wheel only
Only a single emergency wheel may be
mounted. Reinstall wheels and tires of the
original size as quickly as possible; otherwise,
there is a safety risk.◀
Vehicle battery Maintenance
The battery is maintenance-free.
The added amount of acid is sufficient for the service life of the battery.

CareVehicle features and optionsThis chapter describes all standard, country-
specific and optional features offered with the
series. It also describes features that are not
necessarily available in your car, e. g., due to
the selected options or country versions. This
also applies to safety-related functions and
systems.
Car washes
General information
Regularly remove foreign objects such as
leaves in the area below the windshield when
the hood is raised.
Wash your vehicle frequently, particularly in
winter. Intense soiling and road salt can dam‐
age the vehicle.
Hints Steam jets or high-pressure washers
When using steam jets or high-pressure
washers, hold them a sufficient distance away
and use a maximum temperature of
140 ℉/60 ℃.
If the vehicle has a glass sunroof, ensure that a
distance of at least 31.5 inches/80 cm is main‐
tained. Holding them too close or using exces‐
sively high pressures or temperatures can
cause damage or preliminary damage that may
then lead to long-term damage.
Follow the user's manual for the high-pressure
washer.◀
Cleaning sensors/cameras with high-
pressure washers
When using high-pressure washers, do not
spray the exterior sensors and cameras, e.g.,
Park Distance Control, for extended periods oftime and only from a distance of at least
12 in/30 cm.◀
Automatic car washes
Hints Note the following:▷Give preference to cloth car washes or
those that use soft brushes in order to
avoid paint damage.▷Make sure that the wheels and tires are not
damaged by the transport mechanisms.▷Fold in the exterior mirrors; otherwise, they
may be damaged, depending on the width
of the vehicle.▷Deactivate the rain sensor, refer to
page 75, to avoid unintentional wiper acti‐
vation.▷In some cases, an unintentional alarm can
be triggered by the interior motion sensor
of the alarm system. Follow the instruc‐
tions on avoiding an unintentional alarm,
refer to page 46.
Guide rails in car washes
Avoid car washes with guide rails higher
than 4 in/10 cm; otherwise, the vehicle body
could be damaged.◀
Different types of tires Observing vehicle width
Before entering washing systems, make
sure that the vehicle width is not too great for
the car wash; otherwise, there could be dam‐
age to the vehicle and car wash.◀
