Replacing components
Onboard tool kit
The onboard tool kit 1, the screw-in tow
fitting 2 and spare fuses and a pair of plas-
tic tweezers 3 are stored in the luggage
compartment. Fold up the cover located
under the floor mat.
Windshield wiper blades
To replace, fold the wiper arm up and hold.
Press the locking lugs together while push-
ing the wiper blade out of the detent toward
the front.
Lamps and bulbs
Lamps and bulbs make an essential contri-
bution to vehicle safety. Therefore, comply
fully with the following instructions during
bulb replacement. If you are not familiar
with the specified procedures, have the
replacements carried out at your BMW
center.Never touch the glass on new bulbs
with your bare fingers, as even minute
amounts of contamination will burn into the
bulb's surface and reduce its service life.
Use a clean cloth, napkin etc., or hold the
bulb by its metal socket.<
You can obtain a selection of replacement
bulbs at your BMW center.
When working on the lighting system
you should always switch off the
lights affected to prevent short circuits.
To avoid possible injury or equipment dam-
age when changing bulbs, observe any
instructions provided by the bulb manufac-
turer.<
When performing maintenance on the
headlamps, comply with the instructions in
the separate Caring for your vehicle bro-
chure.
In the case of bulbs where the
replacement is not described, please
consult your BMW center.<
Xenon lamps
The service life of these lamps is very long
and the probability of a failure is very low,
provided that they are not switched on and
off an unusual number of times. In the
unlikely event that one of these lamps
should fail, you can continue driving under
poor visibility conditions by switching on
your fog lamps and proceeding carefully,
where allowed by law.
To avoid the risk of potentially fatal
injuries: owing to the extremely high
voltages at which these units operate, ser-
vice work on the xenon lighting system
should only be carried out by a BMW cen-
ter.<

For this reason, check the expiration dates
of each of the items regularly and replace
any whose expiration dates have passed.
You can find replacements in any phar-
macy.
Comply with legal requirements requiring
you to carry a first-aid kit in the vehicle.<
Roadside Assistance*
The Roadside Assistance of the BMW
Group offers you breakdown assistance
around the clock, including on weekends
and public holidays.
The phone numbers of the Roadside Assis-
tance in your home country can be found in
the BMW Dealer Directory.
In the case of vehicles with BMW Assist or
TeleService, you can call the Roadside
Assistance of the BMW Group directly for
breakdown assistance via the Control Cen-
ter, refer to page 156.
Jump-starting
When your battery is discharged, you can
use two jumper cables to start your BMW
with power from the battery in a second
vehicle. You can also use the same method
to help start another vehicle. Use only
jumper cables with fully-insulated clamp
handles.
To avoid the risk of potentially fatal
injury, always avoid all contact with
electrical components while the engine is
running. Carefully adhere to the following
sequence, both to prevent damage to one
or both vehicles, and to guard against pos-
sible personal injuries.<

Using tow fitting
The threaded tow fitting is stored in the tool
kit mounted on the inside of the luggage
compartment under the floor mat, refer to
page 178, and should always remain in the
vehicle. It can be screwed in at the front or
rear of the BMW.
To avoid damage to the tow fitting
and the vehicle, observe the follow-
ing: only use the tow fitting that comes with
the vehicle and screw it in as far as possi-
ble. Only use the tow fitting to tow on the
roadway. Avoid heavy lateral loading of the
tow fitting, e.g. do not lift the vehicle by the
tow fitting.<
Access to screw thread
Rectangular cover in bumper:
Press the arrow symbol of the cover.

Being towed
Even if there is a failure in the electri-
cal system, make sure that the igni-
tion key is in position 1, as otherwise the
steering wheel could lock and it would be
impossible to steer the vehicle. There is no
power assist with the engine stopped. This then requires increased effort for braking
and steering. The active steering is deacti-
vated; when stopped and in the low speed
range greater steering wheel movements
are required.<
Switch on the hazard warning flashers
depending on the local regulations. If the
electrical system fails, mark the vehicle to
be towed, e.g. with a sign or warning trian-
gle in the rear window.
Vehicles with manual transmission
Gearshift lever in idle position
Vehicles with automatic
transmission
Selector lever in position N.
Do not exceed a towing speed of
45 mph/70 km/h and a towing dis-
tance of 90 miles/150 km, as otherwise the
automatic transmission may be dam-
aged.<
Vehicles with SMG Sequential
manual transmission
With the ignition switched on, engage
selector-lever position N, then switch off
the ignition.
Towing methods
In some countries, towing with tow bars or
ropes in public traffic is not permitted.
Familiarize yourself with all regulations on
towing in the respective country.
With tow bar
The towing vehicle may not be lighter
than the vehicle to be towed, as oth-
erwise it will not be possible to control
vehicle response.<
The tow fittings used should be on the
same side on both vehicles. Should it prove
impossible to avoid mounting the tow bar
at an offset angle, please observe the fol-
lowing:
>Clearance and maneuvering capability
will be strictly limited in corners
