Fuel specifications
Do not use leaded gasoline; otherwise,
permanent damage to the catalytic con-
verter will result.
Do not fill the tank with E85, i.e. fuel consisting
of 85Ξ ethanol or flex fuel. Otherwise the
engine and fuel supply system will be dam-
aged.<
Required fuel
Super Premium Gasoline/AKI 91
This gasoline is highly recommended.
However, you may also use gasoline with a
lower AKI rating. The minimum AKI rating is 87.
If you use gasoline with this minimum AKI rat-
ing, the engine may produce knocking sounds
when starting at high outside temperatures.
This has no effect on the engine life.
Do not use any gasoline below the mini-
mum specified fuel grade. Otherwise the
engine could be damaged.<
Use high-quality brands
Field experience has indicated significant dif-
ferences in fuel quality: volatility, composition,
additives, etc., among gasolines offered for sale
in the United States and Canada. Fuels contain-
ing up to and including 10Ξ ethanol or other
oxygenates with up to 2.8Ξ oxygen by weight,
that is, 15Ξ MTBE or 3Ξ methanol plus an
equivalent amount of co-solvent, will not void
the applicable warranties with respect to
defects in materials or workmanship.
The use of poor-quality fuels may result in
drivability, starting and stalling problems,
especially under certain environmental condi-
tions such as high ambient temperature and
high altitude.
Should you encounter driveability problems
which you suspect could be related to the fuel
you are using, we recommend that you respond
by switching to a recognized high-quality brand
such as gasoline that is advertised as Top Tier
Detergent Gasoline.
Failure to comply with these recommendations
may result in unscheduled maintenance.<

Engine oil
The engine oil consumption depends on driving
style and driving conditions.
Checking oil level
Your vehicle is equipped with an electronic oil
level control.
To obtain the most accurate possible oil level
reading, the measurement should be taken
when the engine is at operating temperature,
i.e. following an uninterrupted drive of at least
6 miles/10 km. You can display the oil level
while driving or when stopped on a level surface
with the engine running.
The current oil level can be viewed on the Con-
trol Display.
iDrive, for principle details, refer to page16.1.Press the button to open the start
menu.
2.Move the controller toward "Car Data".
3.Select and press the controller.

Socket for OBD Onboard
Diagnostics
Components which are decisive for the
exhaust-gas composition can be checked via
the OBD socket with a device.
This socket is located to the left on the driver's
side, on the underside of the instrument panel
under a cover.
Emissions values
The warning lamp lights up. The emis-
sions values are deteriorating. Have the
vehicle checked as soon as possible.
Display of the previously described
malfunction on Canadian models.
Under certain circumstances, the warning lamp
will flash. 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. Serious engine misfiring,
even for only a short period of time, can seri-
ously damage emission control components,
especially the catalytic converter.
If the fuel filler cap is not properly tight-
ened, the OBD system can detect the
vapor leak and the indicator lamp will 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
signed a contract of participation for BMW
Assist, certain vehicle data can be transmitted
or recorded to enable corresponding services.
Care
You can find useful information on caring for
your BMW in the Caring for your vehicle bro-
chure.

Battery switch
Before storing the vehicle for an extended
period of several weeks or more, slide the bat-
tery switch located behind the trim panel on the
right side of the luggage compartment to OFF.
This reduces the current flow from the battery
for the period during which the vehicle remains
parked. A message appears on the Info Display.
Please take note of the supplementary informa-
tion provided on the Control Display.
Disposal
Have old batteries disposed of following
replacement at your BMW center or bring
them to a collection point. Maintain the battery
in an upright position for transport and storage.
Always secure the battery to prevent it from tip-
ping over during transport.<
Power failure
After a temporary interruption in electrical
power, the functioning of some equipment may
be limited and must be reinitialized. Individual
settings are also lost and must be updated
again:
>Seat, mirror, and steering wheel memory
The positions must be stored again, refer to
page46.
>Time and date
These must be reset, refer to page84.
>Radio
Stations must be stored again, refer to
page158.
>Navigation system
You must wait until it becomes operational
again, refer to Inserting navigation CDs/
DVDs on page130.
Fuses
Never attempt to repair a blown fuse, and
do not replace a defective fuse with a sub-
stitute of another color or amperage rating, as
this could lead to a circuit overload, ultimately
resulting in a fire in the vehicle.<
Spare fuses and plastic tweezers are stored in
the fuse box in the luggage compartment.
In glove compartment
Press the tab on the cover to the front, then fold
down the cover.
Additional information regarding fuse alloca-
tions is provided on the fuse card in the com-
partment.

ther steps to help you.
If circumstances permit, remain in the vehicle
until the voice connection has been estab-
lished. You will then be able to provide a
detailed description of the situation.
If the current location of your vehicle can be
determined, it will be transmitted to the
BMW Assist Response Center.
If the LED is flashing but you cannot hear the
BMW Assist Response Center over the hands-
free system, then the hands-free system may
be malfunctioning.You may, however, still be
audible to the BMW Assist Response Center.
Under certain conditions, an emergency call is
initiated automatically immediately after a
severe accident. An automatic emergency call
is not affected by the emergency call button
being pressed.
For technical reasons, the emergency call
cannot be guaranteed under unfavorable
conditions.<
In order to transmit the vehicle location, a
navigation CD/DVD must be inserted and
the system must be currently receiving a GPS
signal.
If the navigation system is inoperative, the cur-
rent position of the vehicle is not transmitted.<

vehicle has a voltage of 12 Volts and
approximately the same capacitance in Ah.
This information is listed on the battery.2.Switch off the engine of the assisting vehi-
cle.
3.Switch off any electrical systems and com-
ponents in both vehicles.
Make sure that there is no contact
between the bodywork of the two vehi-
cles; otherwise, there is a danger of short cir-
cuits.<
Connecting jumper cables
To avoid personal injury from sparks, fol-
low this sequence when connecting jum-
per cables.<
In your BMW, the so-called jump starting termi-
nal in the engine compartment functions as the
positive battery terminal. The symbol + is
embossed on the cover.
1.Remove the cover of the BMW jump start-
ing terminal, refer to arrow1.
2.Attach one terminal clamp of the plus/+
jumper cable to the positive terminal of the
