Care products

Regular cleaning and care contributes signifi-

cantly to the value retention of your BMW.

BMW recommends cleaning and caring for your

vehicle with products that are approved by

BMW for this purpose.

Your BMW center will be happy to advise you on

the products and services available for cleaning

and caring for your BMW.

Original BMW CareProducts have been

material tested, laboratory checked and

proven in the field, and offer optimal care and

protection for your vehicle.<

Do not use cleaners that contain alcohol

or solvents as these may result in dam-

age.<

Cleaning agents can contain substances

that are dangerous or hazardous to your

health. Therefore, follow the warning and safety

instructions on the packaging. When cleaning

inside the vehicle, always open the doors or

windows of the vehicle. In enclosed areas, pro-

vide for sufficient ventilation. Only use products

designed for cleaning vehicles.<

Exterior care

Washing the vehicle

Especially during the winter months,

ensure that the vehicle is washed more

frequently. Heavy soiling and road salt can lead

to vehicle damage.<

After washing the vehicle, apply the

brakes briefly to dry them; otherwise,

water can reduce braking efficiency over the

short term and brake discs can corrode.<

Automatic car washes

Preference should be given to cloth car washes.

Do not use high-pressure car washes;

otherwise, water may drip into the vehicle

around the windows.<

Before driving into a car wash, ensure that it is

suitable for your BMW. Check the following:

> Dimensions of your vehicle, refer to

page 157.

> If necessary, fold in the outside rearview

mirrors, refer to page 42.

> Maximum permissible tire width.

Avoid car washes with guide rail heights

over 4 in/10 cm; otherwise, there is the

danger of damaging chassis parts.<

> In Convertibles, do not treat the convertible

top with wax. Ensure that a program is avail-

able that does not apply wax or is designed

specifically for convertibles.

Preparations before driving into an automatic

car wash:

> Unscrew the rod antenna

*

.

> Deactivate the rain sensor

*

to prevent unin-

tentional wiping.

> Remove additional attachments, e.g. spoil-

ers or telephone antennas, if there is a pos-

sibility that they could be damaged.

Automatic transmission

Before driving into an automatic car wash, per-

form the following steps to ensure that the vehi-

cle can roll:

1. Insert the remote control into the ignition

lock, even with Comfort Access.

2. Move the selector lever to position N.

3. Release the parking brake.

4. Switch off the engine.

5. Leave the remote control in the ignition lock

so that the vehicle can roll.
