Underbody maintenance
The underbody has to be cleaned at least once a
year, in spring, with plain water in order to remove
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.
