Corrosion on brake rotors is signaled by

a running or pulsation during braking;

even extended subsequent braking will

not cure this phenomenon.

It is a good idea to periodically dry the

brakes with a gentle application when

driving in rain and on wet roads. Watch

traffic conditions to ensure that this

maneuver does not endanger other

road users. The heat generated in this

process helps dry the pads and rotors

to ensure that your brake system will

respond with undiminished efficiency

when you need it.

Extended or steep mountain descents

should be driven in the gear in which

only minimal periodic brake applica-

tions are required. This helps avoid

placing excessive loads on the brake

system. Stay within the allowable rpm

range. For additional information, refer

to page 76.

Do not coast with the clutch

depressed or with the gearshift

lever in idle. Do not coast with the

engine switched off. If you do so the

engine provides no braking effect and

there is no power assist for braking or

steering when the engine is not run-

ning.<

Brake pads

For your own safety: use only

brake pads which BMW has

approved for your specific vehicle

model. BMW cannot evaluate non-

approved brake pads to determine if

they are suitable for use, and therefore

cannot ensure the operating safety of

the vehicle if they are installed.<
