ing and braking forces.
Indicator lights illuminate:
M Dynamic Mode or DSC has failed.
Active M Differential
Principle The active M Differential blocks the rear axis
transmission steplessly, depending on the
drive situation. In so doing, even with the DSC
switched off and in M Dynamic Mode, spinning
of a single rear wheel is avoided and therefore
optimum traction is provided under all driving
conditions.
The driver is responsible for a driving style ap‐
propriate to the situation.
Adaptive M chassis PrincipleThe system reduces unwanted vehicle move‐
ments when a dynamic driving style is used or
on uneven roads.
Depending on the condition of the road and
the driving style, this enhances driving dynam‐
ics and driving comfort.
Programs Possibilities for adjusting the tuning of the
shock absorbers:▷"Comfort": comfort-oriented▷"Sport": balanced▷"Sport Plus": consistently sporty

Drive-off assistant The system provides support when driving off
on upward inclines. It is not necessary to use
the parking brake for this.
1.Hold the vehicle in place by pressing the
foot brake.2.Release the foot brake and drive off with‐
out delay.
The vehicle is held for approximately 2 sec‐
onds after the foot brake has been released.
Depending on the vehicle's load or when tow‐
ing a trailer, the vehicle may roll backwards a
little.
Servotronic
Principle The Servotronic varies the steering force re‐
quired when steering, depending on the
speed. At low speeds the steering force is
heavily supported, in other words a slight force
is needed when steering With increasing
speed the support for the steering force is re‐
duced.
In addition, steering force is adapted according
to drive program, giving a sporty/direct or com‐
fortable steering response.
Programs Adjustment possibilities of the steering force:▷"Comfort": low.▷"Sport": medium.▷"Sport Plus": high.

Maintaining, saving, changing speed
Notes WARNING
The desired speed can be inadvertently
set incorrectly or called up. Danger of acci‐
dents. Adapt the desired speed to the driving
conditions. Observe the traffic situation and in‐
tervene actively if the situation warrants it.◀
Maintaining speed, saving
During the interruption, press the rocker
switch.
With the system switched on, the driven speed
is maintained and saved as the desired speed.
This is shown in the speedometer and briefly in
the instrument cluster, see page 130.
If necessary, Dynamic Stability Control DSC
will be switched on.
Changing speed
Press the rocker switch repeatedly upwards or
downwards until the desired speed is set.
With the system active, the speed that is then
shown is set and will be achieved on a clear
road.▷Each time the rocker switch is pressed
lightly up to the resistance point, the de‐
sired speed is increased or decreased by
approximately 1 km/h, 1 mph.▷Each time the rocker switch is pressed be‐
yond the resistance point, the desired
speed is increased or decreased to the
next multiple of 10 km/h on the speedome‐
ter display.
The maximum speed which can be set de‐
pends on the vehicle.▷Pressing the rocker switch until the resist‐
ance point is reached and holding acceler‐
ates or decelerates the vehicle without
pressing the accelerator pedal.
The speed is maintained after letting go of
the rocker switch. Pressing beyond the re‐
sistance point results in greater vehicle ac‐
celeration.
Call up desired speed
Press the button on the steering
wheel.
The saved speed is regained and maintained.

Different messages are shown on the display,
depending on the engine oil level. Follow these
messages.
If there is too little engine oil, within the next
200 km, approximately 120 miles top up en‐
gine oil, see page 186.
Detailed measurement
Principle In the detailed measurement, the engine oil
level is checked and shown on a scale.
If the engine oil level reaches the minimum, a
Check Control message is shown.
During the measurement, the idle speed is
slightly raised.
Requirements▷Vehicle is on an even road.▷Manual gearbox: gear lever in neutral posi‐
tion, clutch and accelerator pedal not de‐
pressed.▷M double clutch transmission: selector
lever in selector lever position N and accel‐
erator pedal not depressed.▷Engine is running and is at operating tem‐
perature.
Carrying out a detailed measurement
Carry out a detailed measurement of the en‐
gine oil level:
1."Vehicle information"2."Vehicle status"3. "Measure engine oil level"4."Start measurement"
The engine oil level is checked and shown on a
scale.
Duration: approximately 1 minute.
Adding engine oil
Notes ATTENTION
Too little engine oil causes engine dam‐
age. Danger of damage to property.
Top up the engine oil within the next 200 km,
approximately 120 miles.◀
ATTENTION
Too much engine oil can damage the en‐
gine or the catalytic converter. Danger of dam‐
age to property. Do not top up with too much
engine oil. If you fill too much engine oil, have
the excess extracted by a Service Partner or a
qualified specialist workshop.◀
WARNING
Service products, for example oils,
greases, coolants and fuels, can contain sub‐
stances that are harmful to health. Danger of
injury or life. Comply with the notes on the
containers. Do not allow service products to
come into contact with clothing, skin eyes. Do
not pour service products into other bottles.
Keep service products out of the reach of chil‐
dren.◀
General Do not top up engine oil unless message isdisplayed in instrument cluster. The top-up
amount is specified in the message on the in‐
strument cluster.
Switch off the ignition and securely stop the
vehicle before topping up with engine oil.
Spilled engine oil can damage carbon parts.
Wipe up spilled engine oil with a lint-free cloth.

Leather care
Remove dust from the leather at regular inter‐
vals with a cloth or vacuum cleaner.
Dust and road dirt will otherwise become
worked into pores and folds, causing consider‐
able abrasion and causing the leather surface
to become prematurely brittle.
In order to protect against discolouration, for
example from clothing, clean the leather ap‐
proximately every two months.
Clean light-coloured leather more frequently
as it has the tendency to soil faster.
Use leather cleaner, otherwise dirt and grease
will attack the protective coating of the leather.
Suitable care products are available from a
Service Partner or a qualified specialist work‐
shop.
Care of upholstery fabrics
Clean regularly with a vacuum cleaner.
In the event of heavy soiling, for example stains
caused by drinks, use a soft sponge or a lint-
free microfibre cloth with suitable interior
cleaning agents.
Clean upholstery materials over a large area up
to the seams. Avoid strong rubbing.
ATTENTION
Open Velcro fasteners on articles of
clothing can damage the seat covers. Danger
of damage to property. Make sure that any Vel‐
cro fasteners on your clothing are closed.◀
Care of special parts
Light alloy wheels Only when cleaning on the vehicle use neutral
rim cleaner with a pH value of between 5 and 9.
Do not use any rough cleaner or steam cleaner
above 60 ℃/140 ℉. Observe the manufactur‐
er's information.Corrosive, acidic or alkaline cleaners may de‐
stroy the protective layer of neighbouring
parts, such as brake discs, for example.
Chrome surfaces Carefully clean parts such as the radiator grille
and door handles with plenty of water to which
a shampoo may be added, particularly if ex‐
posed to road salt.
Rubber parts
The surfaces of rubber parts can be contami‐
nated or loose their shine due to environmental
influences. Only use water and suitable care
products for cleaning. The manufacturer of
your vehicle recommends genuine BMW care
products.
Treat particularly stressed rubber parts at reg‐
ular intervals with rubber care products. Do not
use any silicone-based care products for treat‐
ing rubber seals, otherwise these could be
damaged and become a source of noise.
Fine wood parts Clean fine wood trims and fine wood parts with
a damp cloth only. Then dry them with a soft
cloth.
Plastic parts
These include:▷Imitation leather surfaces.▷Roof lining.▷Light covers.▷Glass cover of instrument cluster.▷Parts sprayed matt black.▷Painted parts in the interior.
Use a microfibre cloth to clean.
Slightly moisten the cloth with water.
Do not soak the roof lining.
