P Parking
Select only when the vehicle is completely
stationary. The rear wheels are blocked.
R Reverse
Select only when the vehicle is completely
stationary.
N Neutral
E.g. engage in car washes. The vehicle can
roll.
D Drive, automatic position
Position for normal vehicle operation.
All forward gears are available.
Under normal operating conditions, fuel
consumption is lowest when driving in
position D.
Kickdown
The kickdown mode provides maximum
acceleration:
Press the accelerator pedal beyond the
full-throttle resistance point.
M/S manual operation and
Sport program
Move the selector lever from position D to
the left into gearshift gate M/S:
The sport program is activated and DS
appears in the instrument cluster.
This position is recommended for a perfor-
mance-oriented driving style. It is engaged
automatically when the Dynamic Driving
Control is activated, see below.
When the selector lever is moved slightly
towards + or –, the Steptronic shifts gear
and manual operation is activated. The
instrument cluster shows M1 through M6.Upshifts and downshifts are executed only
when they will result in a plausible combi-
nation of engine and vehicle speed; thus,
for example, a downshift that would cause
the engine to overrev will not be executed
by the system. The selected gear appears
briefly in the instrument cluster, followed by
the current gear.
To use the automatic function again, move
the selector lever to the right into posi-
tion D.
Malfunction
The warning lamp lights up and a
message appears on the Control
Display. There is a malfunction in
the transmission system. Avoid heavy
loads.
While it will remain still possible to move
the selector lever to any desired position,
the transmission will revert to operation in
its default mode with only a limited number
of forward gears.
Have the system checked as soon as pos-
sible.
Towing, refer to page, 185, jump-starting,
refer to page 185.
Dynamic Driving Control
The Dynamic Driving Control makes it pos-
sible for your BMW to react in an even more
sports-oriented manner at the push of a
button:
>The engine responds more spontane-
ously to accelerator pedal movements
>The steering conveys a feeling of even
better contact with the road surface
>Cruise control:
The stored speed you call up is reached
more quickly.
Additionally with SMG:
>Gearshifts are faster
>The engine speed range is used opti-
mally in the Drive mode.
With automatic transmission:
>The Sport program is activated.

Driving
62 Deactivate the rain sensor when
passing through an automatic car
wash. Failure to do so could result in dam-
age caused by undesired wiper activa-
tion.<
Washer fluid
Washer fluid antifreeze is flammable.
Always keep it well away from sparks
and open flames, and store it in tightly
closed containers well out of the reach of
children. Always observe the instructions
for use provided on the containers.<
Washer fluid reservoir
Capacity approx. 5.3 US quarts/5 liters
Fill with water and – if required – with a
washer antifreeze, according to manufac-
turer's recommendations.
In order to keep to the mixture ratio,
mix the washer fluid before filling.<
Cruise control
The concept
The cruise control is available for use at
speeds of approx. 20 mph/30 km/h and
higher. The vehicle maintains and stores
the speed that you set using the lever
mounted on the steering column.
Do not use the cruise control when
driving on winding roads, in heavy
traffic or in poor road conditions – e.g.
snow, rain, ice, loose road surface – that do
not permit a constant speed.<
One lever for all functions
1Maintaining and storing speed,
accelerating
Press the lever up to the resistance point:
The system maintains and stores the cur-
rent vehicle speed. The display 1 in the
speedometer indicates this regulated
speed, refer to page 63. Every time you
briefly press the lever, the vehicle's speed
increases by roughly 1 mph/1 km/h.
Press the lever up to the resistance point
and hold it:
The vehicle accelerates without pressure
on the accelerator pedal. The system main-
tains and stores your current speed as
soon as you release the lever.
Press the lever beyond the resistance
point:
Increases the speed by 5 mph/10 km/h.
The vehicle may accelerate beyond the
regulated speed on steep downhill
stretches where the engine's braking effect
alone may not be sufficient to slow the
vehicle. Speed can drop on uphill grades if
the engine output is insufficient.
2 Maintaining and storing speed,
decelerating
Pull the lever:
Functions are the same as 1, only the vehi-
cle speed is reduced.
3Interrupting cruise control
With the cruise control active, briefly press
the lever up or down.

pedal
>when you press down the clutch pedal
or engage position N of the automatic
transmission/SMG
>when DSC comes on.
4Recalling stored speed
Briefly press button 4: the vehicle acceler-
ates to and maintains the stored speed.
Deactivating system
When the ignition is switched off, the sys-
tem is deactivated and the stored speed is
deleted.

Never move the convertible top when
the rollover protection system is
raised.
No changes of any nature may be made to
the individual components of the rollover
protection system and wiring.
Work on the rollover protection system may
only be performed at a BMW center.
Unprofessional attempts to service the sys-
tem can lead to failure or malfunction.
For a system check and to ensure long-
term functioning, you must comply with the
maintenance intervals of the service
requirement display.<
Head-Up Display*
The concept
With the Head-Up Display important infor-
mation is projected into the driver's field of
view, e.g. navigation instructions. This
enables you to take in this information with-
out looking away from the road.
