To ensure that your vehicle provides

maximum economy throughout a long

service life, we request that you

observe the following instructions.

Engine and differential

Up to 1,200 miles/2,000 km:

Drive at varying engine speeds and

road speeds, but do not exceed

4,500 rpm and the following road

speeds during this initial period:

6-cylinder engines: 100 mph/160 km/h

8-cylinder engines: 106 mph/170 km/h

Obey your local and state maximum

speed limits.

Avoid full-throttle operation and use of

the transmission's kickdown mode dur-

ing these initial miles.

Once you have driven 1,200 miles/

2,000 km, the engine and vehicle

speeds can be gradually increased.

Tires

Due to technical factors associated

with their manufacture, tires do not

achieve their full traction potential until

after an initial break-in period. There-

fore, drive reservedly during the first

200 miles/300 km.

Obey your local and state maximum

speed limits.

When the vehicle is operated on

wet or slushy roads, a wedge of

water may form between the tire and

the road surface. This phenomenon is

referred to as hydroplaning and can

lead to partial or complete loss of trac-

tion, vehicle control and braking effec-

tiveness. Reduce your speed on wet

roads.<

Brake system

Brakes require an initial break-in period

of approx. 300 miles/500 km to achieve

optimal contact and wear patterns

between brake pads and rotors.

To break in the separate handbrake

drums, apply the handbrake lightly

when coasting to a standstill at a traffic

signal, for instance, provided that traffic

conditions allow you to do so.

To avoid corrosion, repeat this proce-

dure from time to time.

The brake lamps do not light up

when the handbrake is applied.

Vacuum for the brake system servo unit

on your BMW is available only when the

engine is running. When you move the

vehicle with the engine switched off,

when towing, for instance, substan-

tially higher levels of pedal force will be

required to brake the vehicle.<

Clutch

The function of the clutch is only at its

optimized level after a distance driven

of approx. 300 miles/500 km. During

this break-in period, engage the clutch

gently.

Following component

replacements

Observe the break-in instructions again

if previously addressed components

must be replaced again during driving

later.
