Things to remember when driving

Break-in period

Moving parts need breaking-in time to adjust to

each other. Please follow the instructions below

in order to achieve the optimal service life and

economy of operation for your vehicle.

Engine and differential

Up to 1,250 miles/2,000 km:

Attempt to vary both engine and vehicle

speeds, but refrain from exceeding an engine

speed of 4,500 rpm or a driving speed of

100 mph or 160 km/h.

Always obey all official speed limits.

Avoid full-throttle operation and use of the

transmission's kick-down mode.

Once you have driven 1,250 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 trac-

tion potential until after an initial break-in

period. Therefore, drive reservedly during the

first 200 miles/300 km.

Brake system

Brakes require an initial break-in period of

approx. 300 miles/500 km to achieve optimized

contact and wear patterns between brake pads

and rotors. Drive with caution during this break-

in period.

Clutch

The function of the clutch reaches its optimal

level only after a distance driven of approx.

300 miles/500 km. During this break-in period,

engage the clutch gently.

Following part replacement

The same break-in procedures should be

observed if any of the components mentioned

above have to be renewed in the course of the

vehicle's operating life.

General driving notes

Closing the luggage compartment lid

Operate the vehicle only when the lug-

gage compartment lid is completely

closed. Otherwise, exhaust fumes could enter

the interior of the vehicle.<

If special circumstances make it absolutely nec-

essary to drive with the luggage compartment

lid open:

1. Close all windows and the glass sunroof.

2. Increase the air flow rate of the automatic

climate control considerably, refer to

page 91.

Hot exhaust system

As in all vehicles equipped with a catalytic

converter, extremely high temperatures

are generated in this vehicle. Do not remove the

heat shields installed adjacent to various sec-

tions of the exhaust system, and never apply

undercoating to them. When driving, standing

at idle and while parking, take care to avoid pos-

sible contact between the hot exhaust system

and any highly flammable materials such as hay,

leaves, grass, etc. Such contact could lead to a

fire, with the risk of serious personal injuries and

property damage.<

Portable phone in the vehicle

BMW discourages the use of mobile

communications devices, e.g. portable

phones, inside the vehicle without a direct con-

nection to an outside antenna. Otherwise, the

vehicle electronics and mobile communication

device can influence one another. In addition,

there is no assurance that the radiation which

results from transmission will be dissipated

from the vehicle interior.<
