To ensure that your vehicle provides

maximum economy throughout a long

service life, we request that you comply

with the following recommendations.

Engine and differential

Up to 1,200 miles (2,000 km):

Drive at varying engine and road

speeds, but do not exceed 4,500 rpm

or a speed of 100 mph (160 km/h):

Obey your local and state maximum

speed limits.

Do not apply full throttle and avoid

pressing the accelerator beyond the

kickdown point.

Once you have driven 1,200 miles

(2,000 km), engine speed and vehicle

speed can be gradually increased.

Follow the same break-in procedure if

either the engine or the differential is

replaced in the future.

Tires

Due to technical factors associated

with their manufacture, tires do not

achieve their full traction potential until

an initial break-in period has elapsed.

For this reason drive cautiously during

the initial 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 aquaplaning, or hydro-

planing, and can lead to partial or

complete loss of traction, vehicle

control and braking effectiveness.

Reduce your speed on wet roads.<

Brake system

Approximately 300 miles (500 km) must

elapse before the brake pads and discs

achieve the optimal pad-surface and

wear patterns required for trouble-free

operation and long service life later on.

To break-in the separate parking brake

drums, apply the parking brake 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 come on

when the parking brake is set.

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 off – when

towing, for example – substantially

higher levels of pedal force will be

required to brake the vehicle.<

Clutch

The clutch will also begin to function

optimally after about 300 miles

(500 km). Engage the gears carefully

during the break-in period.
