Changing wheels Your BMW is equipped with Run-Flat Tires as standard. This removes the need to change a wheel immediately in the event of a puncture. For information on continuing to drive with a damaged tire, refer to Indication of a flat tire on page 91. The symbol identifying Run-Flat Tires is a circle with the letters RSC on the sidewall, refer to Run-Flat Tires, page 212. When mounting new tires or changing over from summer to winter tires and vice versa, mount Run-Flat Tires for your own safety. In the event of a flat, no spare wheel is available. Your BMW center will be glad to advise you. Refer also to New wheels and tires, page 212.
The tools for changing wheels are avail- able as optional accessories from your
BMW center.<

Giving and receiving assistance
Emergency call* Conditions for an emergency call: > Equipment version with full mobile phone
preparation package. This equipment makes it possible to initiate an emergency call even if no mobile phone is paired with the vehicle.
> BMW Assist is activated. Activating
BMW Assist, refer to page 195.
> Radio readiness is on. > The BMW Assist system is logged on to a
mobile phone network.
> The emergency calling system is operable. Once your service contract for BMW Assist expires, the BMW Assist system can be deacti- vated by a BMW center without you having to visit a workshop. Once the BMW Assist system has been deactivated, emergency calls are not possible. The BMW Assist system can be reac- tivated by a BMW center after a new contract has been signed.
Initiating an Emergency Request call 1. Briefly press the cover flap to open.
2. Press the button for at least 2 seconds. The LED in the button lights up. As soon as the voice connection to the BMW Assist Response Center has been established, the LED flashes. Once the BMW Assist Response Center has received your Emergency Request, the BMW Assist Response Center contacts you and takes further steps to help you.
If the circumstances allow this, remain in the vehicle until the connection has been estab- lished. You will then be able to provide a detailed description of the situation. If the current location of your vehicle can be determined, it will be transmitted to the BMW Assist Response Center. If the LED is flashing but the BMW Assist Response Center cannot be heard over the hands-free system, it is possible that the hands-free system is malfunctioning. You may still be heard by the BMW Assist Response Center, however. Under certain conditions, an emergency call is automatically initiated immediately after a severe accident. This Automatic Collision Noti- fication is not affected by the button being pressed.
For technical reasons, the emergency calling services cannot be guaranteed for
the most unfavorable conditions.<
Roadside Assistance The BMW Group's Roadside Assistance ser- vice is there to assist you around the clock in the event of a breakdown, including on week- ends and public holidays. The phone numbers of the Roadside Assis- tance in your home country can be found in the Contact brochure. In vehicles equipped with BMW Assist, you can establish contact with the BMW Group's Road- side Assistance for breakdown assistance directly via iDrive, refer to page 191.

Sports Wagon
Sedan
The warning triangle is located behind the left- hand trim panel in the cargo bay. Press the tab to take it out.
Jump starting If the car's own battery is flat, your BMW's engine can be started by connecting two jumper cables to another vehicle's battery. You can also use the same method to help start another vehicle. Only use jumper cables with fully-insulated clamp handles.
Do not touch any electrically live parts when the engine is running, or a fatal acci- dent may occur. Carefully adhere to the follow- ing sequence, both to prevent damage to one or both vehicles, and to guard against possible personal injuries.<
Preparation 1. Check whether the battery of the other
vehicle has a voltage of 12 volts and approximately the same capacitance in Ah. This information can be found on the bat- tery.
2. Switch off the engine of the assisting vehi-
cle.
3. Switch off any consumers in both vehicles. There must not be any contact between the bodies of the two vehicles, otherwise
there is a danger of shorting.<
The first aid pouch is located on the right-hand side of the cargo bay in a storage area.

Connecting jumper cables
Connect the jumper cables in the correct order, so that no sparks which could
cause injury occur.< Your BMW has a jump-starting connection in the engine compartment which acts as the bat- tery's positive terminal, refer also to the Engine compartment overview on page 215. The cap is marked with +. 1. Pull the cap of the BMW jump-starting con-
nection up to remove.
2. Attach one terminal clamp of the plus/+
jumper cable to the positive terminal of the battery or a starting-aid terminal of the vehi- cle providing assistance.
3. Attach the second terminal clamp of the
plus/+ jumper cable to the positive terminal of the battery or a starting-aid terminal of the vehicle to be started.
4. Attach one terminal clamp of the minus/–
jumper cable to the negative terminal of the battery or to an engine or body ground of the assisting vehicle. Your BMW has a special nut as body ground or negative pole.
5. Attach the second terminal clamp of the
minus/– jumper cable to the negative termi-
nal of the battery or to the engine or body ground of the vehicle to be started.
Starting the engine 1. Start the engine of the donor vehicle and allow it to run for a few minutes at slightly increased idle speed.
2. Start the engine on the other vehicle in the
usual way. If the first start attempt is not successful, wait a few minutes before another attempt in order to allow the discharged battery to recharge.
3. Let the engines run for a few minutes. 4. Disconnect the jumper cables by reversing
the above connecting sequence.
If necessary, have the battery checked and recharged.
Never use spray fluids to start the engine.<
Tow-starting, towing away
Observe the applicable laws and regula- tions for tow-starting and towing vehi-
cles.<
Do not transport any passengers other than the driver in a vehicle that is being
towed.<
Using a tow fitting The screw-in tow fitting must always be carried in the car. It can be screwed in at the front or rear of the BMW. Sedan: it is stored in the onboard tool kit under- neath the cover on the right-hand side of the cargo bay, refer to page 221. Sports Wagon: it is stored in the onboard tool kit underneath the cover on the left-hand side of the cargo bay, refer to page 221.
Use only the tow fitting provided with the vehicle and screw it all the way in. Use the tow fitting for towing on paved roads only. Avoid lateral loading of the tow fitting, e.g. do not lift
231
Automatic transmission Selector lever in position N. Changing selector lever positions, refer to page 60.
Do not exceed a towing speed of 45 mph or 70 km/h and a towing distance of 90 miles/150 km, otherwise the automatic transmission may be damaged.<
Towing methods In come countries, it is illegal to tow your vehicle with a tow bar or tow rope on public highways. Please familiarize yourself with the relevant towing regulations for the country in which you are driving.
With a tow bar
The towing vehicle must not be lighter than the towed vehicle, otherwise it may
be impossible to maintain control.< The tow fittings used should be on the same side on both vehicles. Should it prove impossi- ble to avoid mounting the tow bar at an angle, please observe the following: > Clearance and maneuvering capability will
be sharply limited during cornering.
> The tow bar will generate lateral forces if it is
attached offset.
Attach the tow bar to the tow fittings only, as attaching it to other parts of the vehicle
could result in damage.<
With a tow rope When starting off in the towing vehicle, make sure that the tow rope is taut.
To avoid jerking and the associated stresses on vehicle components when
towing, always use nylon ropes or nylon straps. Attach the tow rope to the tow fittings only, as attaching it to other parts of the vehicle could result in damage.<

Being towed
Make sure that the ignition is switched on, refer to page 57, otherwise the low-beam headlamps, tail lamps, turn signal indicators and windshield wipers may be unavailable. If the electrical system fails, do not attempt to tow- start or tow away the car. The electric steering wheel lock cannot be disengaged and the car is not steerable. Jump starting, refer to page 230. Power steering assistance is not available when the engine is not running. Thus, braking and steering will require increased effort.< Switch on the hazard warning flashers, depend- ing on local regulations.
Manual transmission Gearshift lever in idle position.
232
With a tow truck
Without xDrive
Have the BMW transported with a tow truck with a so-called lift bar or on a flat bed.
Do not lift the vehicle by a tow fitting or body and chassis parts, otherwise dam-
age may result.<
With xDrive
Do not tow a BMW with xDrive with just the front or rear axle raised, otherwise the
wheels could lock up and the transfer case could be damaged.<
Have the BMW transported on a flatbed surface only.
Tow-starting Avoid tow-starting the vehicle whenever possi- ble; instead, jump-start the engine, refer to page 230. Vehicles with a catalytic converter should only be tow-started when the engine is cold, vehicles with an automatic transmission cannot be tow-started at all.
If the electrical system fails, do not tow or tow-start the vehicle, as it would be impossible to release the electric steering-
wheel lock and the vehicle could not be steered.< 1. Switch on hazard warning flashers, comply
with local regulations.
2. Switch on the ignition, refer to page 57. 3. Shift into 3rd gear. 4. Have the vehicle tow-started with the clutch
depressed and slowly release the clutch. After the engine starts, immediately depress the clutch completely again.
5. Stop at a suitable location, remove the tow bar or rope and switch off the hazard warn- ing flashers.
6. Have the vehicle checked.
With xDrive: do not activate Hill Descent Control HDC when the vehicle is being
tow-started, page 88.<
