Procedure1 Read and comply with the safety
precautions provided on the
previous page.
2 Secure the vehicle against rolling:
Place the wedge against the rear
surface of the front tire on the side
opposite the side being raised. If the
vehicle is parked on a downward
slope, place the wedge securely in
front of the tire. If the wheel must
be changed on a surface with a more
severe slope, take additional precau-
tions to secure the vehicle against
rolling.
3 If your wheels are equipped with full
wheel covers
*: reach into the ventila-
tion openings and pull the cover off.

point nearest the wheel you are
changing (refer to the illustration at

positioned vertically under the jack-
ing point relative to the entire surface,
and that the jack head fits securely
into the square recess for the jacking
point (refer to illustration detail) when
the jack is cranked.
6 Jack the vehicle up until the wheel
you are changing is raised from the
ground.

space-saver tire on the hub and

tight into opposite bolt holes.
10 Screw in the remaining lug bolts.
Tighten all the bolts snugly.
11 Lower the jack and remove it from
beneath the vehicle.

14 Check and correct the tire's inflation
pressure at the earliest possibility.
For vehicles with Tire Pressure
Control (RDC):
After mounting the spare tire or
correcting the inflation pressure,
reactivate the system. Refer to
page 85.
Use only the full wheel cover in-
stalled by the factory. Other wheel
covers may not fit securely. The full
wheel cover may not be installed on the
space-saver tire since this could
damage the cover.<
The vehicle jack is designed for
changing wheels only. Do not
attempt to raise another vehicle model
with it or to raise any load of any kind.
To do so could cause accidents and
personal injury.
To ensure continued safety, have the
tightness of the lug bolts [torque
specification: 76 lb. ft. (100 Nm)]
checked with a calibrated torque
wrench.<
When storing the wheel, take care to
ensure that you do not damage the
retaining pin in the spare tire recess.
If light-alloy wheels other than original
BMW light-alloy wheels have been
mounted, it may be necessary to use
different lug bolts for those wheels.
Replace the defective tire as soon as
possible and have the new wheel/tire
balanced.
