Notes
Your individual vehicle On purchasing your BMW, you have decided in favor of a model with individ- ualized equipment and features. This Owner's Manual describes all models and equipment that BMW offers within the same group. We hope you will understand that equipment and features are included that you might not have chosen for your vehicle. You can easily identify any dif- ferences with the aid of the asterisk used to identify all optional equipment and accessories. If your BMW features equipment such as a car radio or telephone, which is not described in this Owner's Manual, Sup- plementary Owner's Manuals are enclosed. We ask you to read these manuals as well.
Status at time of printing BMW pursues a policy of continuous, ongoing development that is conceived to ensure that our vehicles continue to embody the highest quality and safety standards combined with advanced, state-of-the-art technology. For this reason, the features described in this Owner's Manual could differ from those in your vehicle. Nor can errors and omissions be entirely ruled out. You are therefore asked to appreciate that no claims can be recognized on the basis of the data, illustrations or descriptions in this Owner's Manual.
For your own safety
Fuels
Use unleaded gasoline only. Fuels containing 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 respecting defects in materials or work- manship. Field experience has indi- cated significant differences in fuel quality – volatility, composition, addi- tives, etc. among gasolines offered for sale in the United States and Canada. The use of poor-quality fuels may result in driveability, starting and stalling problems especially under certain envi- ronmental conditions, such as high ambient temperature and high altitude. Should you encounter driveability prob- lems 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. Failure to comply with these recom- mendations may result in unscheduled maintenance. Obey all applicable safety rules when you are handling gasoline.
Notes
Maintenance and repair
Parts and accessories
Advanced technology, e.g. the use of modern materials and high- performance electronics, requires spe- cially adapted maintenance and repair methods. Therefore, only have corre- sponding work on your BMW carried out by a BMW center or a workshop that works according to BMW repair procedures with correspondingly trained personnel. If work is carried out improperly there is a danger of conse- quential damage and the related safety risks.
Important safety information! For your own safety, use genuine
parts and accessories approved by BMW. When you purchase accessories tested and approved by BMW and Original BMW Parts, you simultaneously acquire the assurance that they have been thor- oughly tested by BMW to ensure opti- mum performance when installed on your vehicle. BMW warrants these parts to be free from defects in material and workman- ship. BMW will not accept any liability for damage resulting from installation of parts and accessories not approved by BMW. BMW cannot test every product made by other manufacturers to ascertain whether it can be used on a BMW safely and without risk to either the vehicle, its operation, or its occupants. Original BMW Parts, BMW Accessories and other products approved by BMW, together with professional advice on using these items, are available from all BMW centers. Installation and operation of non-BMW approved accessories such as alarms, radios, amplifiers, radar detectors,
wheels, suspension components, brake dust shields, telephones – including operation of any portable cellular phone from within the vehicle without using an externally mounted antenna – or trans- ceiver equipment such as a CB, walkie- talkie, ham radio or similar, may cause extensive damage to the vehicle, com- promise its safety, interfere with the vehicle's electrical system or affect the validity of the BMW Limited Warranty. Contact your BMW center for additional information. Do not use key or remote control to lock doors or luggage compartment with anyone inside the vehicle. Refer to the Owner's Manual for more details.
Maintenance, replacement, or repair of the emission control
devices and systems may be performed by any automotive repair establishment or individual using any certified auto- motive part.

Refueling
23
Always observe all safety precau- tions posted at the service station
when handling fuel. Never carry spare fuel containers in your vehicle. Whether empty or full, these containers can leak, cause an explosion, or lead to fire in the event of a collision.<
Simple and environmentally friendly
Open the gas cap carefully to pre- vent fuel from spraying out. Fuel
spray may cause injury.<
Keep the gas cap in the bracket attached to the fuel filler door. When refueling, insert the filler nozzle in the filler pipe. Lifting the nozzle during refueling > results in premature pump shutoff > and will reduce the effect of the vapor
recovery system on the pump.
The fuel tank is full when the filler noz- zle shuts off the first time.
Fuel filler door
Always switch off the engine before refueling, as it is not possi- ble to add fuel with the engine running, and attempts may also trigger the SERVICE ENGINE SOON lamp.<
Press on the rear edge of the fuel filler door to open and close it. If an electrical malfunction occurs, you can unlock the fuel filler door manually: Pull the knob with the fuel pump sym- bol, located on the right side wall of the luggage compartment.

Refueling
Fuel specifications
Tire inflation pressure
Close the gas cap carefully after refueling until a click is heard.
While closing, be sure not to squeeze the strap which is fastened to the cap. A loose or missing cap will activate the CHECK GAS CAP* lamp.<
The engine uses lead-free gasoline only. Required fuel: > Premium Unleaded Gasoline,
min. 91 AKI. AKI = Anti Knock Index
Fuel tank capacity > Approx. 16.6 gal./63 liters, of which > approx. 2.1 gal./8 liters are reserve
capacity.
Do not drive to the last drop of fuel. This can prevent the engine
from operating properly and result in damage.<
Never use leaded fuel, as it would cause permanent and irreversible damage to the oxygen sensor and the catalytic converter.<
Checking tire pressures Tire pressures in psi/kilopascal are shown on the driver's door post and are visible when the door is open. Only check the tire inflation pressures of cold tires. This means after driving a maximum of 1.25 miles/2 km or after the vehicle has been parked for at least 2 hours. Warm tires have higher infla- tion pressures. In the tire inflation pressure table at the end of this section, all pressures are specified in the standard units of pres- sure, psi and kilopascal, and apply to cold tires, i.e. tires at ambient tempera- ture.
Tire inflation pressure
25
Vehicles with Flat Tire Monitor: After correcting the inflation pressures, reinitialize the system. Refer to page 85.
Your vehicle is equipped with tires that not only meet US standards, but also European standards. We recommend the exclusive use of BMW approved tires.
Check the tire pressures on a reg- ular basis – at least twice a month – and before every extended journey. If this is not done, incorrect tire pressures can cause driving instability and tire damage, ultimately resulting in acci- dents. Remember to check the inflation pres- sure in the space-saver or standard spare tire. Inflate the spare tire to the highest infla- tion pressure specified for your vehi- cle.<
Comply with tire approval specifications The inflation pressures in the table apply to BMW approved tire sizes and tire manufacturers. Your BMW center can provide you with more information about these. Other pressures may be required for tires made by other manu- facturers.

The key set 1 Master keys with remote control unit – these keys determine the functions of the Key Memory. Refer to page 60. You can mark the individual keys for subsequent identification by apply- ing the colored decals that you received when accepting delivery of your vehicle
In every master key with the remote control feature there is an
extended-life battery that is charged automatically in the ignition lock as you drive. For this reason, if you have master keys with the remote control feature that are not being used otherwise, use those keys at least once a year while driving for an extended period to charge the battery.<
2 Spare key – for storage in a safe
place, such as in your wallet. This key is not intended for constant use. The luggage compartment lid and the glove compartment cannot be locked and unlocked with this key. This is useful for valet parking, for example
Central locking system
The concept The central locking system is ready for operation whenever the driver's door is closed. The system simultaneously engages and releases the locks on the > doors > luggage compartment lid > fuel filler door. The central locking system can be operated > from outside via the remote control as well as via the driver's door lock
> from inside by pressing a button. The fuel filler door is not locked when the central locking system is activated from the inside, refer to page 34. When the system is actuated from the out- side, the anti-theft system is also acti- vated. This prevents the doors from being unlocked via the lock buttons or the release handle. The alarm system is also activated or deactivated. If locked from the inside, the central locking system unlocks automatically in the event of an accident, except on doors that have been locked individu- ally using the lock buttons, refer to page 34. In addition, the hazard warn- ing flashers and interior lamps come on.
Opening and closing – via the remote control
31
The concept The remote control also provides two additional functions beyond the central locking feature: > To switch on interior lamps, refer to
page 32. With this function you can also search for your vehicle when parked in an underground garage, for instance
> To open the luggage compartment
lid, refer to page 32. The luggage compartment lid will open slightly, regardless of whether it was previously locked or unlocked. Whenever you unlock or lock the vehi- cle, you simultaneously deactivate/acti- vate the anti-theft system, disarm/arm the alarm system and switch the interior lamps on/off.
You can have a signal set to con- firm that the vehicle's locks have
engaged securely.<
Master keys with remote control
Persons or animals inside the vehicle may be able to lock the
doors from the inside. For this reason, always take the vehicle keys with you so that the vehicle can be opened again from the outside at any time.<
If it is no longer possible to lock the vehicle via the remote control, the battery is discharged. Use this key while driving for an extended period in order to recharge the battery. To prevent unauthorized use of the remote control, surrender only the spare key when leaving the vehicle for valet parking, for example. In the event of a system malfunction, please contact your BMW center. You can also obtain replacement keys there.<
