Tire replacement Wheel and tire combinations

Tire age

BMW recommends the replacing of all

tires after 6 years at the latest, even if a

tire life of 10 years is possible.

The date on which the tire was manu-

factured is indicated by the code on the

sidewall:

DOT ... 3501 indicates that the tire was

manufactured in week 35 of the year

2001.

Following wheel/tire changes

Following wheel and/or tire changes

you will need to reinitialize both the Flat

Tire Monitor and the sequential M

gearbox

* SMG II, refer to pages 70, 83.

The right choice

Never mount wheels and tires that

have not been specifically

approved by BMW for use on your

particular model. Although other wheels

and tires may theoretically have the

same dimensions, variations in factors

such as manufacturing tolerances can

result in contact between tire and body-

work, ultimately leading to serious acci-

dents. If non-approved wheels and tires

are used, BMW cannot evaluate their

suitability, and therefore cannot be held

liable for driving safety.<

BMW tests certain tire brands for each

tire size, classifies them as road-safe

and approves them. Consult your BMW

center for more information. Observe

any country-specific regulations, e.g.

on making a corresponding entry in the

vehicle documents.

The correct wheel and tire combi-

nation affects different systems

such as ABS, DSC, Flat Tire Monitor.

The function of these systems is

impaired if improper wheel and tire

combinations are used.

Therefore, only use tires of the same

brand and same tread configuration on

the vehicle and, for example following a

tire failure, restore the approved wheel

and tire combination as soon as

possible.<

The use of rims and lug bolts that

do not meet the specifications of

the original factory-installed equipment

will affect the safe operation of your

vehicle and may cause an accident and

personal injury.

Never mix tires of different design, such

as steel-belted radials with radial bias-

belted or bias-ply tires, etc. Mixing tire

types will adversely affect roadholding

and can lead to loss of vehicle

control.<

Storage

Store wheels and tires in a cool, dry

place, protecting them against light

whenever possible. Protect the tires

against contact with oil, grease and

fuel.
