Wheels and tires
188 The correct combination of wheels
and tires is a vital factor in ensuring
reliable operation of various vehicle sys-
tems such as ABS and DSC.
It is therefore important to ensure that tires
from a single manufacturer with a single
tread configuration are always mounted on
all vehicle wheels; after a flat tire, always
remember to have the specified wheel and
tire combination remounted on the vehicle
as soon as possible.<
Storage
Always store wheels and tires in a cool, dry
place with as little exposure to light as pos-
sible. Always protect tires against all con-
tact with oil, grease and fuels.
Special characteristics of
winter tires
Choosing the right tire
BMW recommends winter tires Ð M+S tires
for use in cold winter driving conditions.
Although all-season M+S tires provide
better winter traction than standard
summer tires with H, V, W and ZR speed
ratings, they generally fail to provide the
same levels of cold-weather performance
as winter tires.
When mounting, always install winter tires
of a single tread configuration and from a
single manufacturer on all four wheels to
ensure safe tracking and secure steering
response.
Observing speed ratings
Never exceed the maximum speed for
which the winter tires are rated.
Unprofessional attempts by laymen to ser-
vice tires can lead to damage and acci-
dents.
Have this work performed by skilled pro-
fessionals only. The technicians at your
BMW center will be glad to assist you with
the required professional knowledge and
specialized equipment.<
Tire condition, tire pressure
Because winter tires display a noticeable
loss in their ability to cope with cold-wea-
ther driving conditions once the tread
wears to below 0.16 in (4 mm), to ensure
continued safety you should always have
such tires replaced.
Always maintain the specified inflation
pressures in all tires, and remember to
have the wheel and tire assemblies bal-
anced every time either a wheel or a tire is
replaced.
Snow chains*
BMW only tests certain snow chains, clas-
sifies them as road-safe and approves
them. Consult your BMW center for more
information. BMW recommends only using
these approved, narrow-link snow chains.
These snow chains are approved exclusi-
vely for use in pairs on the rear wheels, and
should only be mounted on tires with the
dimensions 245/50 R 18. Observe the
manufacturer's instructions when installing
snow chains. Do not exceed a vehicle
speed of 30 mph (50 km/h) with the chains
mounted.

Maintenance
The BMW Maintenance
System
The BMW Maintenance System is desi-
gned to ensure that your vehicle will con-
tinue to furnish consistent reliability com-
bined with optimal safety. The service
schedule also includes operations related
to the vehicle's comfort and convenience
features, such as replacement of the filters
for the inside air. The ultimate object is to
furnish economical maintenance by provi-
ding the ideal service for your individual
vehicle.
Should the day come when you decide to
sell your BMW, you will find that a complete
dealer service history is an asset of inesti-
mable value.
CBS Condition Based Service
CBS is a more advanced version of the Ser-
vice Interval Display. Sensors combine with
highly-specialized algorithms to supply
service information that reflects your
vehicle's actual operating conditions more
precisely than ever before.
The system now furnishes individual dis-
plays of the times remaining until the dead-
lines for specific service operations as well
as official state inspections:
>Engine oil
>Brakes Ð separate for front and rear
>Particle/activated-charcoal filter
>Brake fluid >Spark plugs
>Vehicle check
>Coolant
>Official state inspections.
CBS monitors both current and upcoming
service requirements. After accessing the
data stored in the vehicle's key, your BMW
service advisor is able to suggest precisely
the right array of service procedures for
your own individual vehicle.
By letting you define a service and mainte-
nance regimen that reflects your own indi-
vidual requirements, Condition Based Ser-
vice builds the basis for trouble-free
driving.
You can find more detailed information on
the Service Interval Display on page 83.
Service and Warranty Information
Booklet for US models and Service
Guide Booklet for Canadian models
Please consult your Service and Warranty
Information Booklet for US models and
Service Guide Booklet for Canadian
models for additional information on ser-
vice requirements.
Have service and repair operations
performed at your BMW center.
Take the time to ensure that these service
procedures are confirmed by entries in
your vehicle's Service and Warranty Infor-
mation Booklet for US models and Service
Guide Booklet for Canadian models. These
entries verify that your vehicle has received
the specified regular maintenance, and
may also be required when submitting war-
ranty claims.<

To avoid short circuits, as well as pos-
sible fires and personal injury, always
disconnect the cable from the battery's
negative terminal before working on the
vehicle's electrical system.<
Battery switch
Before storing the vehicle for an extended
period of several weeks or more, slide the
battery switch located behind the trim
panel on the right side of the luggage com-
partment to OFF. This reduces the current
flow from the battery for the period during
which the vehicle remains parked.
A message appears in the Check Control
panel. Please take note of the supplemen-
tary information provided in the Control
Display.
Never disconnect either battery cable
from its terminal while the engine is
running Ð the resulting voltage surge would
destroy the vehicle's electronic systems.<
Disposal
Return used batteries to a recycling
point or your BMW center. Maintain
the battery in an upright position for trans-
port and storage. Always restrain the bat-
tery to prevent it from tipping over during
transport.<
Fuses
Spare fuses are located on the fuse strip in
the glove compartment; plastic tweezers
can be found at the fuse holder in the lug-
gage compartment.
In the glove compartment
Press the tab on the cover to the front, then
fold up the cover.
Never attempt to repair a blown fuse,
and do not replace a defective fuse
with a substitute of another color or
amperage rating, as this could lead to a cir-
cuit overload, ultimately resulting in a fire in
the vehicle.<
In the luggage compartment
Use the handle to pull down the trim on the
right wall.
