Engine oil
Engine oil consumption depends on driving 
style and driving conditions.
Checking engine oil level
Your vehicle is equipped with an electronic oil 
level check.
The condition for the most accurate indication 
of the oil level possible is measurement with the 
engine at operating temperature, i.e. following 
an uninterrupted drive of at least 6 miles/10 km. 
You can display the oil level on the Control Dis-
play while driving or when stopped on a level 
surface with the engine running.
iDrive, for explanation of principle, refer to 
page16.1.Press the   button.
This opens the start menu.
2.Press the controller to open the   menu.
3.Turn the controller until "Info sources" is 
selected and press the controller.
4.Turn the controller until "Service" is 
selected and press the controller.

www.bmwusa.com to obtain this information.
Do not use oil additives; under some cir-
cumstances, they can damage your 
engine.<
Viscosity grades
The viscosity is a measure of the thickness of 
the oil and is specified in SAE grades.
The choice of the right SAE grade is based on 
the climatic conditions in the region in which 
you normally drive your BMW.
Approved oils belong to the SAE grades 
5W-40 and 5W-30.<
These oils can be used for driving at all outside 
temperatures.
Coolant
Do not open the cooling system when the 
engine is hot. Escaping coolant can cause 
burns.<
Coolant consists of water and coolant additive. 
Not all commercially available additives are suit-
able for your BMW. Ask your BMW center for 
suitable additives.
Only use suitable additives, otherwise 
engine damage may result. The additives 
present a health hazard.<
Always observe all applicable environ-
mental laws and regulations when dis-
posing of used coolant additives.<
Checking coolant level
1.Allow the engine to cool.
2.Turn the cap of the expansion tank counter-
clockwise to allow any accumulated pres-
sure to escape, then continue turning to 
open.
3.The coolant level is correct when it lies 
between the MIN and MAX mark, also refer 
to the drawing next to the filler neck.
4.If the coolant is low, slowly add coolant up to 
the specified level – do not overfill.
5.Turn the cap until it clicks.
6.Have the reason for the coolant loss elimi-
nated as soon as possible.

Socket for OBD Onboard 
Diagnostics interface
Components which are decisive for the 
exhaust-gas composition can be checked via 
the OBD socket with a device.
This socket is located under a cover on the left 
side of the driver's footwell, directly under the 
instrument panel.
Exhaust-gas values
The warning lamp lights up. The 
exhaust-gas values are deteriorating. 
Have the vehicle checked as soon as 
possible.
Display of the previously described 
malfunction on Canadian models.
The lamp flashes under certain conditions. This 
is a sign of excessive misfiring of the engine. In 
this case, you should reduce speed and drive to 
the nearest BMW center as soon as possible. 
Heavy engine misfiring causes serious damage 
to the emission-relevant components, espe-
cially the catalytic converter, within a short time.
If the fuel filler cap is not properly tight-
ened, the OBD system can detect the 
escape of fuel vapor. This causes a display to 
light up. If the cap is then tightened, the display 
should go out within a few days.<
Event data recorders
Your vehicle may be equipped with one or sev-
eral measuring and diagnosis modules, or with a 
device for recording or transmitting certain 
vehicle data or information. If you have also sub-
scribed to a BMW Assist plan, then certain vehi-
cle data can be transmitted or recorded to 
enable corresponding services.
Care
Important information on care and maintenance 
of your BMW is contained in the Caring for your 
vehicle brochure.

Giving and receiving assistance
Emergency call
Conditions for an emergency call:
>Full preparation package mobile phone. 
With this equipment, an emergency call is 
still possible when no mobile phone is 
paired in the vehicle.
>BMW Assist is activated. Activating 
BMW Assist, refer to page194.
>Radio readiness is activated.
>The BMW Assist system is logged on to a 
mobile phone network.
>The emergency call system is operable.
Once your service contract for BMW Assist 
expires, the BMW Assist system can be deacti-
vated by a BMW center without you having to 
visit a workshop. Following deactivation of the 
BMW Assist system, no emergency calls can be 
made. The BMW Assist system can be reacti-
vated after concluding a new agreement at a 
BMW center.
Initiating an emergency call
1.Briefly press protective cover to open.
With some vehicle equipment packages or 
in the Convertible, the arrangement of the 
switches and indicator lamps may differ 
somewhat.
2.Press the button for at least 2 seconds.
The LED in the button lights up. As soon as the 
voice connection to the BMW Assist Response 
Center has been established, the LED flashes.When the emergency call is received at the 
BMW Assist Response Center, the BMW Assist 
Response Center contacts you and arranges 
for additional steps to help you.
If conditions allow, remain in the vehicle until 
the connection has been established. You will 
then be able to provide a detailed description of 
the situation.
If the current position of your vehicle can be 
determined, it will be transmitted to the BMW 
Assist Response Center.
If the LED is flashing but the BMW Assist 
Response Center cannot be heard over the 
hands-free system, it is possible that the 
hands-free system is malfunctioning. You may 
still be heard by the BMW Assist Response 
Center, however.
Under certain conditions, an emergency call is 
automatically initiated immediately after a 
severe accident. The automatic emergency call 
is not affected by the button being pressed.
For technical reasons, the emergency call 
cannot be guaranteed under the most 
unfavorable conditions.<
You can also use other services of 
BMW Assist with this button, refer to 
page189.<
