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

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.

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.
Front
Rear
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.

MobilityGiving and receiving assistance
Attach the tow bar to the tow fittings only,
as attaching it to othe r 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. <
With a tow truck
Manual transmission and automatic
transmission:
Sport automatic transmission with double
clutch:
Have the BMW transported with a tow truck
with a so-called lift bar, or on a flatbed.
Do not tow the vehicle wi th just the rear axle
raised as this may cause the steering to turn.
Tow-starting
Avoid tow-starting the vehicle whenever possi-
ble; instead, jump start the engine, refer to
page 251. Vehicles with a catalytic converter
should only be tow-started when the engine is
cold, vehicles with an automatic transmission or
Sport automatic transmission with double
clutch cannot be tow-started at all.
1. Switch on the hazard warning flashers,
comply with local regulations.
2. Switch on the ignition, refer to page 61.
3. Shift into 3rd gear.
4. Have the vehicle tow-started with the clutch
completely depresse d and then slowly
release the clutch. Afte r 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
warning flashers.
6. Have the vehicle checked.
