left and right stainless-steel cov-

ers 1.

If the stainless-steel covers

are cleaned using unsuit-

able cleaning agents, the sur-

faces can be damaged.

Do not use scouring agents such

a stainless-steel polish to clean

the stainless-steel covers.

Even fly-remover pads or clean-

ing pads with hard surfaces can

produce scratches.

Plastics

Clean plastic parts with water

and BMW plastic care emulsion.

This includes in particular:

Windscreen and slipstream de-

flectors

Headlight lens made of plastic

Glass cover of the instrument

cluster

Black, unpainted parts

If plastic parts are cleaned

using unsuitable cleaning

agents, the surfaces can be dam-

aged.

Do not use cleaning agents that

contain alcohol, solvents or ab-

rasives to clean plastic parts.

Even fly-remover pads or clean-

ing pads with hard surfaces can

produce scratches.

Soften stubborn dirt and

insects by covering the af-

fected areas with a wet cloth.

Windscreen

Clean off dirt and insects with a

soft sponge and plenty of water.

Fuel and chemical solvents

attack the material of the

windscreen; the windscreen be-

comes opaque or dull.

Do not use cleaning agents.

Chrome

Use plenty of water and BMW

shampoo to clean chrome, par-

ticularly if it has been exposed to

road salt. Use chrome polish for

additional treatment.

Radiator

Clean the radiator regularly to

prevent overheating of the en-

gine due to inadequate cooling.

For example, use a garden hose

with low water pressure.

Cooling fins can be bent

easily.

Take care not to bend the fins

when cleaning the radiator.

Rubber

Treat rubber components with

water or BMW rubber-care

products.

Using silicone sprays for

the care of rubber seals can

cause damage.
