Wheels and tires

Tire inflation pressure

Information for your safety

It is not merely the tire's service life, but

also driving comfort and – to a great extent

– driving safety that depend on the condi-

tion of the tires and the maintenance of the

specified tire pressure.

Check the tire inflation pressure regu-

larly and correct it if necessary: at

least every two weeks and before begin-

ning a longer trip. If you fail to observe this

precaution, you may be driving on tires with

incorrect tire pressures, a condition that

can not only compromise your vehicle's

stability, but also lead to tire damage and

the risk of an accident.<

Checking tire inflation pressure

Only check tire inflation pressure when the

tires are cold. This means after a maximum

of 1.25 miles/2 km driving or when the

vehicle has been parked for at least

2 hours. When tires are warm, the tire infla-

tion pressure increases.

After correcting the inflation pres-

sure(s), always reinitialize the Flat Tire

Monitor, refer to page 79.<

Inflation pressures for original tires

The tires must be at ambient temperature.

The inflation pressures, provided on a label

affixed to the B-pillar, are visible when the

driver's door is open.

Inflation pressure for other tire sizes

The tables below provide all the correct

inflation pressures for the specified tire

sizes at ambient temperature.

For correct identification of the right

tire inflation pressure for your tires,

observe the specifications for the corre-

sponding tire size.<

Observe tire size

The specified pressures apply to tire sizes

approved by BMW and recommended tire

makes; your BMW center will be glad to

provide information.
