Engine oil Coolant

Comply with the applicable envi-

ronmental laws regulating the dis-

posal of used oil.<

Recommendation: Have the oil

changed by your BMW center.

Continuous exposure to used oil

has caused cancer in laboratory

testing. For this reason, any skin areas

that come into contact with oil should

be thoroughly washed with soap and

water.

Always store oil, grease, etc., out of

reach of children. Comply with all warn-

ing labels and information on lubricant

containers.<

Do not add coolant to the cooling

system when the engine is hot. If

you attempt to do so, escaping coolant

can cause burns.

To avoid the possibility of damage later

on, never use anything other than fac-

tory-approved, nitrite and amino-free

extended-duty antifreeze with corrosion

inhibitor. Your authorized BMW center

is familiar with the official specifica-

tions.

Antifreeze and anticorrosion agents are

hazardous to health. You should always

store them in their original container

and in a location which is inaccessible

to children.

Extended-duty antifreeze with corrosion

inhibitor contains the flammable sub-

stance ethylene glycol. For this reason,

do not spill antifreeze with corrosion in-

hibitor on hot engine parts. It could

catch fire and cause serious burns.<

Comply with the applicable envi-

ronmental laws regulating the dis-

posal of extended-duty antifreeze with

corrosion inhibitor.<

Checking coolant level

Correct coolant level when the engine

is cold (approx. 687/206):

Unscrew the cap from the expansion

tank.

The coolant level is correct when the

end of the red float is aligned with the

upper edge of the filler opening (refer

to the arrow in the illustration), or max.

0.8 in (2 cm) higher, for instance up

to the mark on the float (see also the

schematic diagram next to the cap).
