Care

Car-care products

Regular cleaning and care make a significant

contribution to retaining your BMW's value.

For the cleaning and care of your vehicle, BMW

recommends using only products that BMW

has approved for this purpose.

Your BMW center will be glad to advise you

about products and services for the cleaning

and care of your BMW.

Original BMW Care Products are materi-

als tested, laboratory tested, and tested in

actual use. They offer optimum care and pro-

tection for your vehicle.<

Do not use cleaners that contain alcohol

or solvents; they can damage your vehi-

cle.<

Cleaning agents can contain substances

that are dangerous or pose health risks.

You should therefore heed the warnings and

hazard indications on the packaging. Open the

doors or windows on your vehicle whenever

cleaning the interior. Make sure there is suffi-

cient ventilation in enclosed spaces. Use only

products that are formulated for vehicle clean-

ing.<

Exterior care

Washing your vehicle

In the winter months, it is especially

important to ensure that the vehicle is

washed on a regular basis. Otherwise, signifi-

cant soiling and road salt can cause damage to

the vehicle.<

After washing the vehicle, apply the

brakes briefly to dry them. Failure to do so

may lead to a reduction in braking efficiency and

also to corrosion of the brake rotors.<

Car washes

Give preference to cloth car washes.

Do not use high-pressure car washes

because they can cause drops of water to

penetrate in the vicinity of the windshield.<

Before driving into the car wash, make sure that

it is suitable for your BMW. Pay attention to the

following points:

> Dimensions of your vehicle, refer to

page 221.

> If necessary, fold in the outside rearview

mirrors, refer to page 49.

> Maximum permissible tire width.

> The convertible top must not be treated

with wax. Make sure that a program without

wax or a special convertible program is

available.

Avoid car washes with guide rail heights

over 4 in/10 cm; otherwise, there is a dan-

ger of damaging chassis parts.<

Preparations for driving into the car wash:

> Deactivate rain sensor to prevent unwanted

wiper activation.

> Remove additional add-on parts, e.g. spoil-

ers or phone antennas, if they could be

damaged.

Sequential Manual Transmission

Before driving into the car wash, make sure the

vehicle is able to roll by making sure to:

1. Insert the remote control into the ignition

lock, even with Comfort Access.

2. Shift into transmission position N.

3. Release the parking brake.

4. Switch off the engine.

5. Leave the remote control in the ignition lock

so that the vehicle can roll.

Steam jets/high-pressure washers

When using steam jets or high-pressure

washers, ensure that you maintain suffi-

cient clearance to the vehicle and do not exceed

a temperature of 140 °F/606.
