Headlamps
Do not rub them dry and do not use abrasive or 
corrosive cleaning agents.
Loosen dirt, e.g. insects, with shampoo and 
rinse away with water.
Thaw ice with a de-icer and do not use an ice 
scraper.
After washing the vehicle
After washing the vehicle, apply the 
brakes briefly to dry them; otherwise, 
water can reduce braking efficiency over the 
short term and the brake discs can corrode. <
R e m o v e  r e s i d u e s  o n  t h e  windows completely in 
order to prevent impaired  vision due to smear 
formation and to reduce wiper noise and wiper 
blade wear.
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.

Headlight lenses
In cool or humid weather, condensation may 
form on the interior of outside lamps. The con-
densation will disappear after a short time when 
driving with the headlamps switched on. The 
headlamp glasses do not need to be changed.
If the headlamps do not defrost despite driving 
with the headlamps switch ed on, and additional 
moisture builds up, for example water droplets 
in the lamps, have them checked by your BMW 
center.
Xenon lamps
These bulbs have a very  long service life and are 
highly unlikely to fail. If a xenon lamp fails never-
theless, switch on the fog lamps and continue 
the journey with great ca re, provided that local 
legislation does not prohibit this.
Have all work on the xenon lamp system 
performed only by your BMW center. Due 
to high voltage, there is a risk of fatal injury if 
work on the xenon lamps is carried out 
improperly. <
Removing the headlamp cover
1.Pull the wire brackets  over the notches, see 
arrows, and fold to the side.
2. Fold away the headlamp cover.
Be careful when attaching the headlamp 
cover and ensure that both wire brackets 
are securely in place; otherwise, leaks could 
occur and cause damage to the headlamp 
system. <
Attach the headlamp cover in reverse order.
Halogen headlamps
Halogen low beams and high beams
H7 bulb, 55 watts Always wear gloves and eye protection; 
the atmosphere within the H7 bulb is 
pressurized. Otherwise, ther e is a risk of injury if 
the bulb is damaged. <

Giving and receiving assistance
Mobility
Use only the tow fitting provided with the 
vehicle and screw it a
ll 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 
the vehicle by the tow  fitting. Otherwise, the 
tow fitting and the vehicle could be damaged. <
Access to screw thread
Rectangular cover panel in bumper:
Press the arrow on the cover.

Being towed
Make sure that the ignition is switched on, 
refer to page61; otherwise, the low-beam 
headlamps, tail lamps, turn  signal indicators and 
windshield wipers may be  unavailable. There is 
no power assist while the engine is off. Thus, 
braking and steering will require increased 
effort. Active steering is  not active and it will be 
necessary to tu rn the steering wheel further. <
Manual transmission
Gearshift lever in neutral position.
Automatic transmission
Selector lever in position N.
Changing selector lever position, refer to 
page 64.
Do not exceed a towing speed of 45 mph/
70 km/h and a towing distance of 
90 miles/150 km; otherwise, the automatic 
transmission may be damaged. <
Sport automatic transmission with 
double clutch
Make sure that the parking lock P is not 
engaged; otherwise, the rear wheels are 
immobilized. 
When using the car wash  function, refer to 
page 240, make sure that after approx. 
30 minutes, the parking lock P is automatically 
engaged and thus immobilizes the rear wheels.
In the event of an electrical malfunction or if the 
vehicle must be towed for more than approx. 
20 minutes, unlock the  parking lock manually, 
refer to page 69.<
When towing, do not exceed a maximum 
speed of 30 mph or 50 km/h and a maxi-
mum distance traveled of 30 miles/50 km; oth-
erwise, the transmission may be damaged. <
Towing methods
Do not lift the vehicle by a tow fitting or 
body and chassis parts; otherwise, 
damage may result. <
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 sh ould 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 ge nerate lateral forces if it is 
attached offset.
