Mounting a wheel

1. Unscrew the lug bolts and remove the

wheel.

2. Remove accumulations of mud or dirt from

the mounting surfaces of the wheel and

hub. Also clean the lug bolts.

3. Position the new wheel or spare wheel.

Secure the wheel by screwing at least two

lug bolts into opposite bolt holes.

When you mount wheels other than Genu-

ine BMW light-alloy wheels, different lug

bolts may also be required.

4. Screw in the remaining lug bolts. Tighten all

the bolts securely in a diagonal pattern.

5. Lower the vehicle and remove the jack from

beneath the vehicle.

After mounting

1. Tighten the lug bolts in a diagonal pattern.

To ensure safety, always have the

lug bolts checked with a calibrated

torque wrench as soon as possible to

ensure that they are tightened to the speci-

fied torque. Otherwise, incorrectly tight-

ened lug bolts are a hidden safety risk. The

tightening torque is 88.5 lb ft/120 Nm.<

2. Check and correct the tire inflation pressure

at the earliest opportunity.

Protect valve stems with valve stem

seal caps against dirt and contamina-

tion. Dirt in valve stems is a frequent source

of gradual air loss.<

3. Initialize the Flat Tire Monitor, refer to

page 80, and the Sequential Manual Trans-

mission, refer to After changing wheels/

tires on page 190.

4. Replace the damaged tire as soon as possi-

ble and have the new wheel/tire balanced.

Convertible: slide the wheel as far as possi-

ble to the left and to the rear.

4. Coupe: hook the belt into the lashing eyes 5

and lay it in the belt guide which runs in the

Convertible: hook the belt into the lashing

eyes 5 and 7 and lay it in the belt guide of

the lid which runs offset.

5. Completely open the tensioning lock.

6. Thread the belt 3 through the axis 6 of the

tensioning lock without twisting it and ten-

sion it by hand.

7. Tighten the belt firmly with the tensioning

lock by opening and closing the lock several

times.

8. Fold the tensioning lock closed and stow

the protruding belt end.

Driving with spare wheel

With certain wheel-and-tire combinations

the size of the spare wheel differs from

that of the other wheels. The spare wheel is

equivalent to them in all load and speed ranges.
