BMW Assist
BMW Assist provides you with various services. For example, the position data of your vehicle can be transmitted to the BMW Assist Response Center if an emergency call* has been initiated. Many BMW Assist services depend on the indi- vidually agreed contract. After your contract has expired, the BMW Assist system will be deactivated by the BMW Assist Response Center without you hav- ing to visit a BMW center. After the BMW Assist system has been deactivated, no BMW Assist service will be available. The BMW Assist sys- tem can be reactivated by a BMW center after a new contract has been signed.
Requirements You can use BMW Assist when the following requirements are met: > The installed BMW Assist system is logged onto a mobile phone network. This network must be capable of transmitting the ser- vices.
> To transmit position data, the vehicle must
be able to determine the current position.
> A GPS signal must be available in order for
BMW Assist to be activated and updated. > You have subscribed to BMW Assist with
your BMW center or BMW Assist Response Center and signed a service contract. Acti- vation must have been completed.
> BMW Assist is activated, refer to page 195.

Refueling
Sedan
Always switch off the engine before refu- eling, otherwise, fuel cannot be added to
the tank and a message will be displayed.< Take all precautionary measures and observe all applicable regulations when handling fuel. Do not carry any spare fuel con- tainers in your vehicle. They can develop a leak and cause an explosion or cause a fire in the event of an accident.<
1. Remove the cover from the right-hand side-
wall of the cargo bay.
2. Pull the knob with the fuel pump symbol.
The fuel filler door is released.
Sports Wagon 1. Fold up the cargo bay floor panel. 2. Remove the cover from the right-hand side-
wall of the cargo bay. To do so, turn the screws, arrows 1, 90° and take out the cover, arrow 2.
3. Pull the knob with the fuel pump symbol.
The fuel filler door is released.
Gas cap
Opening
1. Open fuel filler door. To do so, lightly press
the rear edge.
2. Turn the gas cap counterclockwise. 3. Place the gas cap in the bracket attached to
the fuel filler door.
Closing Fit the cap and turn it clockwise until you clearly hear a click.
Do not jam the strap between the gas cap and the vehicle. Otherwise fuel vapors
could escape. A message will be displayed if the gas cap is loose or missing.<
Manually releasing the fuel filler door In the event of a malfunction, you can release the fuel filler door manually:
200
Observe the following when refueling
When handling fuels always observe any safety guidelines posted at the service
station.< When refueling, insert the filler nozzle com- pletely into the filler pipe. Avoid lifting the filler nozzle while filling the tank, as that would lead to > premature pump shutoff > a reduced efficiency of the fuel-vapor
recovery system.
The fuel tank is full when the filler nozzle clicks off the first time.
Fuel tank capacity Approx. 16.1 US gallons/61 liters, including the reserve capacity of 2.1 US gallons/8 liters.
Refuel as soon as possible once your cruising range falls below 30 miles/
50 km, otherwise engine functions are not ensured and damage can occur.<
Fuel specifications
Do not fill the tank with leaded fuel, as this would cause permanent damage to the
catalytic converter. Do not fill the tank with E85, i.e. fuel containing 85% ethanol, nor with FlexFuel. Otherwise the engine and fuel supply system will be dam- aged.<
Required fuel
Super Premium Gasoline/AKI 91
This gasoline is highly recommended. However, you may also use gasoline with less AKI. The minimum AKI Rating is: > 323i, 328i/xi: 87
> 335i: 89. If you use gasoline with this minimum AKI Rat- ing, the engine may produce knocking sounds when starting at high outside temperatures. This has no effect on the engine life.Do not use any gasoline below the speci- fied minimum fuel grade. Otherwise the
engine could be damaged.<
Use high-quality brands Field experience has indicated significant dif- ferences in fuel quality: volatility, composition, additives, etc., among gasolines offered for sale in the United States and Canada. Fuels contain- ing up to and including 10% ethanol or other oxygenates with up to 2.8% oxygen by weight, that is, 15% MTBE or 3% methanol plus an equivalent amount of co-solvent, will not void the applicable warranties with respect to defects in materials or workmanship.
The use of poor-quality fuels may result in drivability, starting and stalling problems especially under certain environmental condi- tions such as high ambient temperature and high altitude. Should you encounter driveability problems which you suspect could be related to the fuel you are using, we recommend that you respond by switching to a recognized high-quality brand such as gasoline that is advertised as Top Tier Detergent Gasoline. Failure to comply with these recommendations may also result in unscheduled maintenance.<

Wheels and tires
Tire inflation pressures
Information for your safety It is not merely the tires' service life, but also driving comfort and, to a great extent, driving safety that depend on the condition of the tires and the maintenance of the specified tire pres- sure.
Check the tire inflation pressure regularly and correct it, if necessary: at least twice a month and before starting long trips. If you fail to observe this precaution you may be driving on tires with incorrect tire pressures, a condi- tion that can not only compromise your vehi- cle's driving stability, but also lead to tire dam- age and the risk of an accident. Do not drive with deflated, i.e. flat tires, except when using Run-Flat Tires. A flat tire will seriously impair your vehicle's handling and braking response. Attempts to drive on a flat tire can lead to loss of control over the vehicle.<
Checking 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 inflation pressure is higher.
After correcting tire inflation pressures, always reinitialize the Flat Tire Monitor,
refer to page 90.<
Inflation pressure specifications The tables below provide all the correct inflation pressures for the specified tire sizes at ambient temperature.
The inflation pressures apply to the tire sizes approved and tire brands recom- mended by BMW; a list of these is available from your BMW center.< For correct identification of the right tire infla- tion pressures, observe the following: > Tire sizes for your vehicle
202
> Load conditions > Maximum allowable driving speed
Tire inflation pressures for driving up to 100 mph or 160 km/h For normal driving up to 100 mph or 160 km/h and to achieve optimum driving comfort, adjust pressures to the respective tire inflation pres- sures listed on the following pages in the col- umns for traveling speeds up to a maximum of 100 mph or 160 km/h. These tire inflation pressures can also be found on the driver's-side door post when the driver's door is open.
The maximum permissible speed for these tire pressures is 100 mph or
160 km/h. Do not exceed this speed, otherwise tire damage and accidents could occur.<
Tire inflation pressures for driving above 100 mph or 160 km/h
In order to drive at maximum speeds in excess of 100 mph or 160 km/h, adjust pressures to the respective tire inflation pres- sures listed on the following pages in the col- umns for traveling speeds including those exceeding 100 mph or 160 km/h. Otherwise tire damage and accidents could occur.< Observe all national and local maximum speed limits, otherwise violations of the laws could occur.
