I General Warnings  and Cautions 
WARNINGS (continued) 
. The air conditioning system is filled with chemical refrigerant, 
which  is hazardous. The  AIC system should  be serviced only  by 
trained technicians using approved refrigerant recoverylrecycling 
equipment, trained  in related safety precautions, and familiar with 
regulations governing  the discharging and disposal  of automotive 
chemical  refrigerants. 
. Do not expose  any part  of the AIC  system to high temperatures 
such  as open  flame.  Excessive heat will increase system pres- 
sure  and may cause  the system  to burst. 
Some aerosol tire inflators are highly flammable.  Be extremely 
cautious when repairing a tire that  may have been inflated using 
an aerosol tire inflator.  Keep sparks,  open flame or other sources 
of  ignition  away 
from the tire repair area. Inflate and deflate  the 
tire at least  four 
times before breaking  the bead from the  rim. 
Completely remove  the tire from the  rim before attempting  any re- 
pair. 
Cars covered  by this manual are equipped with a supplemental 
restraint system  (SRS),  that automatically deploys 
airbags and 
pyrotechnic seat belt tensioners 
In the  event oi a frontal or side 
impact.  These are explosive devices.  Handled improperly  or with- 
out adequate safeguards,  they can be accidently activated and 
cause serious  injury. 
- The ignition system produces high voltages that  can be fatal. 
Avoid contact with exposed terminals and use extreme care  when 
working  on a car with the engine running or  the ignition switched 
on. 
. Place jack stands  only at locations specified  by the manufacturer. 
The vehicle 
illtino iack su~olied with  the vehicle is intended fortire -. , . changes  only. A heavy duty  floor jack should be used  lo lift  vehicle 
before installing 
jacl( stands.  See 010 General. 
- Battery acid (electrolyte) can cause  severe burns. Flush contact 
area 
with water,  seek medical  attention. 
Aerosol cleaners  and solvents  may contain hazardous or deadly 
vapors  and are highly flammable. Use  only in a well ventilated ar- 
ea.  Do not use on  hot surfaces (engines, brakes,  etc.). 
Do  not  remove 
coolant reservoir  or radiator cap with  the engine 
hot.  Danger of  burns  and engine  damage. 
CAUTIONS- 
See also WARNINGS 
- if you lack the slqills, tools and equipment,  or a suitable worl(shop 
for any procedure described  in this manual, leave such repairs  to 
an authorized  BMW dealer  or other qualified  shop. 
BMW is constantly improving  its cars  and sometimes these 
changes, both  in parts and specifications, are made applicable  to 
earlier models. Therefore,  part numbers listed  in this manual are 
for  reference  only. Always  check with your authorized  BMW deal- 
er  parts  department  for the  latest information. 
Before starting a  job, make certain that you have  all the  neces- 
sary  tools and parts  on hand. Read ail the instructions thorough- 
ly,  and  do not attempt shortcuts. Use tools appropriate  to the 
work  and use only replacement parts meeting BMW specifica- 
tions. 
Use pneumatic  and electric tools only  to loosen threaded  parts 
and fasteners.  Never use these tools  to tighten fasteners, espe- 
cially on light  alloy parts.  Always use  a torque wrench to  tighten 
fasteners  to the tightening torque specification listed. 
Be  mindful  of the  environment and  ecology. Before you drain  the 
crankcase, find out  the  proper way to dispose  of the 
oil. Do  not 
pour 
oil onto  the ground,  down a drain,  or into a stream,  pond or 
lake. Dispose  of waste  in accordance with  Federal, State and 
Local  laws. 
The control module for  the anti-lock brake system 
(ABS) cannot 
withstand temperatures from a paint-drying booth  or a heat 
lamp 
in  excess  of 203"  F (95°C)  and should not be subjected  to tem- 
peratures  in excess  of 185°F 
(8S°C) for  more than  two  hours. 
- Before doing any electrical welding on  cars equipped with ABS, 
disconnect  the battery negative 
(-) terminal (ground strap)  and 
the  ABS  control module  connector. 
- Always make sure ignition  is off before disconnecting  battery. 
Label battery cables before disconnecting. On  some models, bat- 
tery cables are not color  coded. 
Disconnecting the battery  may erase fault code@) stored  in control 
module  memory.  Using special  BMW diagnoslic  equipment,  check 
lor 
iauit codes  prior to disconnecting the battery  cables. If the mal-

models).  If any other system iaults have been detected (indicated 
by  an illuminated warning light),  see an authorized  BMW dealer. 
If  a normal 
or rapid charger is used  to charge  battery,  the battery 
must  be disconnected and  removed from the vehicle  in order  to 
avoid  damaging the  vehicle. 
- Do not quick-charge  the battery (for boost starting) for longer 
than  one minute. Wait  at least  one minute  before boosting  the 
battery a second  time. 
* Connect and disconnect a battery charger only with  the battery 
charger switched  off. 
- Sealed or "maintenance  free" batteries should be slow-charged 
only,  at an  amperage  rate that is approximately 10%  of the  bat- 
tery's ampere-hour  (Ah) 
rating. 
. Do not  allow  battery charging voltage  to exceed  16.5 volts.  If the 
battery begins producing gas  or boiling  violently,  reduce the 
charging  rate. 
Boosting a sulfated battery  at a high charging  rate 
can  cause an explosion.

Maintenance 
Service Interval lndicator (Sll) 
The BMW  Service  Interval lndicator (SII) notifies the driver 
when oil  change and other  service is required.  The 
Sll dis- 
plays  the phrase  "OIL SERVICE" 
or"INSPECTI0N" and 7 
light emitting diodes (LEDs)  in the Instrumentcluster: 5green, 
one yellow and one red. 
For  the 
1997 and  later 5 Series, BMW  introduced an  oil 
change interval based on fuel  consumption. The advantages 
of  this  system  are: 
Fuel consumption  is an  accurate  method of determining 
engine  load and the need  for service. 
The  processing  electronics  are simple. 
Resetting  of indicator before  the scheduled time  will not 
affect  the time  to the  next service. 
4 The Sll is programmed  to measure a  set volume  of con- 
sumed  fuel. This volume varies between models, dependent 
on  vehicle and  engine size.  The 
Sil control  unit receives a 
signal from  the engine control module (ECM) when the vehi- 
cle is  in use.  As 
20% of the  programmed fuel volume is con- 
sumed,  one  of the  green LEDs will  go out.  Each  successive 
20% of fuel consumption will  cause the next  LED to go  out 
until 
100% of  the measured  volume has been  consumed.  At 
this point  the yellow LED  will come on, indicating that service 
is due. When 
108% of  the  measured volume  has been con- 
sumed, the red LED  will illuminate, indicating  that service is 
overdue. 
Service Interval Indicator (SII), resetting 
After  the specified  maintenance has  been carried out, the Sll 
memory  should be reset. 
NOTE- 
For  reference,  the BMW oil service requirements are  approx- 
imately  equivalent to  the maintenance  tliat other  European 
manufacturers  specify at intervals  with a maximum  of every 
15.000 miles  or I2 months.

Idle speed 
Engine idle speed  can change due  to a number  of factors,  in- 
cluding normal  wear. The idle speed is  electronically adaptive 
and  not adjustable.  See 
130 Fuel Injection for more  informa- 
tion. 
Catalytic converter  and oxygen  sensors 
OBD II enhanced emission  standards require the  engine 
control  module (ECM) to monitor  the oxygen content  in the 
exhaust with oxygen sensors placed  before and after  the cat- 
alytic  converter. This allows  for tighter control  of tail pipe 
emissions  and also  allows  the ECM  to diagnose  converter 
problems.  If the ECM detects  that catalytic converter  or oxy- 
gen sensor efficiency  has degraded past  a certain 
prepro- 
grammed  limit, it will turn  on the  malfunction indicator  light 
(MIL),  and store a diagnostic  trouble code (DTC) in the ECM. 
See  OBD On-Board Diagnostics  for more  information on 
OBD 
ll systems.

ignition System 
Crankshaft speed sensor, replacing (M62 and M62TU 
engines) 
The  crankshaft  speed sensor reads a  toothed pulse wheel 
mounted on the  flywheel. 
If the Engine Control Module(ECM) 
does not receive an impulse  signal from  the crankshaft  speed 
sensor during 
cranking, the engine will  not start.  If the  OBD II 
system  misfire detection protocol detects  a catalyst damag- 
ing  fault  due to a  malfunction in the  crankshaft speed sensor 
components,  the Check Engine light (Malfunction 
Indicator 
Light or MIL) will  be Illuminated. 
4 The  crankshaft  speed sensor  (arrow)  is mounted  in the right 
lower  side of the bell housing. 
- Remove  speed sensor by disconnecting  electrical harness 
connector  and unbolting sensor from  bell housing.  Do not 
discard  shims, if present. 
- Installation  is the  reverse  of removal. Clean mounting surface 
before installing new sensor, and  install shims, if present. 
< If the flywheel  was replaced,  the speed sensor must  be 
checked  for correct  installation depth. 
* Crank engine  in direction  of rotation  using crankshaft  bolt 
until  a full  pulse  tooth is centered  in the opening  for the re- 
moved  speed sensor. 
Measure  depth ro top of tooth  from speed sensor p~lse 
generator  mounting s~rface on transmission. 
4 Measure  length of pulse generator  from mounting surface  to 
end  (A). 
- Subtract length  of pulse  generator  (A) from distance to  pulse 
tooth  from  mounting  area on transmission.  This measure- 
ment  is the  gap between  the pulse sensor and flywheel.  Use 
shims  available from  BMW to increase gap  as needed  to 
reach  specification.

For  personal  safety, as well  as the  protection  of sensitive 
electronic  components,  adhere to the  warnings  and cautions 
on  the  following  pages. 
WARNING- 
Gasoline is highly  flammable and its  vapors are explosive. 
Do  not  smoke  or  work  on a car  near  heaters  or  other fire 
hazards when diagnosing  and repairing  fuel system  prob- 
lems.  Have a fire  extinguisher available  in case  of an  emer- 
gency 
Renew fuel  system hoses, clamps  and O-rings any 
time they  are removed. 
When  working  on an open fuel system,  wear suitable 
hand  protection,  as prolonged contact 
with fuel  can 
cause illnesses  and skin disorders. 
* The ignition  system produces  high voltages  that can be 
fatal.  Avoid  contact  with exposed  terminals.  Use ex- 
treme caution  when 
working on a car with the ignition 
switched on  or the engine  running. 
CAUTION- 
- Disconnecting  the battery  may erase fault code($ storedin
