Water BMW 3 SERIES 2007 E90 Service and warranty information

Underbody maintenance
The underbody has to be cleaned at least once a

mud, chemical sediments and other deposits. If
those materials are not removed, corrosion (rust)
will occur on metal components.
Your BMW center will do this anti-corrosion ser-
vice for you.
WARNING
Do not apply additional undercoating or rust-
proofing on or near the exhaust manifold, exhaust
pipes, catalytic converter or heat shields. During
driving, the substance used for undercoating could
overheat and cause a fire.
