Opening and closing
Controls
After switching off the ignition
When the remote control
is removed or the igni-
tion is switched off, you can still operate the
windows for approx. 1 minute as long as no
door has been opened.
Convenient opening and closing
For Convenient opening and closing using the
remote control, refer to page 34. For Conve-
nient closing using Comfort Access, refer to
Locking on page 40.
Pinch protection system
If the closing force exceeds a specific value as a
power window closes, the closing action is
interrupted and the window reopens slightly.
Despite the pinch protection system
check and clear the window's travel path
prior to closing it; otherwise, the safety system
might fail to detect certain kinds of obstruc-
tions, such as thin objects, and the window
would continue closing.
Do not install any accessories that might inter-
fere with window movement. Otherwise, the
pinch protection system could be impaired.
Convertible: the rear windows are not equipped
with pinch protection. Therefore, watch them
closely when closing to avoid personal injury. <
Closing without pinch protection
If there is an external danger, or if ice on the
windows, etc., prevents you from closing the
windows normally, proceed as follows:
1.Pull the switch past the resistance point and
hold it there. Pinch protection is limited and
the window reopens slightly if the closing
force exceeds a certain value.
2. Pull the switch again past the resistance
point within approx. 4 seconds and hold it
there. The window closes without pinch
protection.
Coupe: glass roof, electric
To prevent injuries, watch the glass roof
while closing it.
Take the remote contro l with you when you
leave the car; otherwise, children could operate
the roof and possibly injure themselves. <
Tilting
Press the switch.
>The closed glass roof is tilted and the
sliding visor opens slightly.
Do not close the sliding visor forcibly with
the roof in the tilted position, as this would
damage the mechanism. <
Opening, closing
>Push the switch rearward to the resistance
point.
The glass roof and the sliding visor open

this position.
> Push the switch rearward past the resis-
tance point.
The glass roof and the sliding visor open
automatically. Briefly press the switch again
to stop the opening movement.
You can close the glass roof in a similar manner
by pressing the switch forwards. The sliding
visor remains open and can be closed by hand.
For Convenient opening and closing using the

3 LEDs
The side windows move down when the
convertible top is opened. <
If it is no longer possible to operate the cover
after it has been actuated several times in
immediate succession or after the cover has
remained in an interm ediate position for a
longer period, then the convertible top drive has
overheated. If possible, close the convertible top and allow
the drive unit to cool for a few minutes.
Operating while driving
You can open or close the convertible top while
driving, as long as the car is not moving faster
than approx. 25 mph/40 km/h.
If you accelerate to ov
er 30 mph/50 km/h while
the convertible top is moving, the procedure is
interrupted.
While operating the convertible top, pay
close attention to the surrounding traffic;
otherwise, an accident may happen. Try to
avoid operating the convertible top while
reversing the vehicle since the rear view is very
limited during the convertible top's movement.
Do not operate the convertible top while driving
in windy conditions. Do not drive faster than
30 mph/50 km/h; otherwise, damage to the
vehicle can occur. <
LEDs
>While the convertible top is being operated,
the left LED lights up green. It goes out as
soon as the top is fully opened or closed.
In the following situations, a message appears
on the Control Display or an acoustic signal
sounds in addition to the LED lighting up:

Vehicle care
Care products
BMW recommends using BMW cleaning and
care products since they have been tested and
approved for this purpose.
Follow the instructions on the packaging.
When cleaning inside the vehicle, always
open the doors and windows. Only use prod-
ucts designed for cleaning vehicles. Cleaning
agents can contain substa nces that are danger-
ous or hazardous to your health. <
Vehicle paintwork
Regular care contributes to driving safety and
value retention. Environmental influences in
regions with elevated levels of air pollution or
natural contaminants such as tree sap or pollen
can impact vehicle paintwork. The frequency
and scope of car care should be adapted
accordingly.
Immediately remove particularly corrosive sub-
stances such as spilled fuel, oil, grease, or bird
droppings to prevent damage to the paintwork.
Leather care
Frequently remove dust from the leather using
a cloth or vacuum cleaner.
Otherwise, dust and road grit in the pores and
folds of the leather will otherwise have an abra-
sive effect, resulting in increased wear and
causing the leather surf ace to become brittle
prematurely.

MobilityReplacing components
Changing wheels
Your BMW is equipped with run-flat tires as
standard. This eliminates 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 Indica tion of a flat tire on
page 92.
The symbol identifying run- flat tires is a circle
with the letters RSC on the sidewall, refer to
New wheels and tires, page 230.
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 230.
The tools for changing wheels are avail-
able as optional accessories from your
BMW center. <
