Engine oil temperature on page 62.

Compound brake

Your BMW M3 is equipped with a high-perfor-

mance brake system with perforated com-

pound brake discs.

Due to special design features of the perforated

compound brake discs, operating noise is audi-

ble during braking. However, this does not

affect the brake's performance, safe operation

or stability under load.

Braking correctly

To keep the brake system in optimal condition,

it is advisable to apply the brakes at regular

intervals as appropriate for the character of the

vehicle.

Refer also to Corrosion on brake rotors on

page 110.

Drive train

In your BMW M3, special emphasis was placed

on the direct connection between the engine

and drive. The torsionally rigid execution of the

drive train results in acoustic feedback of the

torque, as is typical in sports cars. Clacking

sounds can arise during load changes. They do

not impair functionality or shorten the lifespan

of any component.

Driving on a race track

BMW recommends the following measures

before driving on a race track:

> Participate in a BMW driver training course

> Have the vehicle checked by your BMW

center

Operation on a race track can lead to

increased wear. The BMW M3 is not

designed for use in competitive motorsports.

This wear is not covered by the vehicle war-

ranty.<

General driving notes

Clearance

Mind the limited clearance of the BMW

M3, e.g. when driving into underground

parking garages or over obstacles. If equipped

with EDC

*

, select the "Sport" program, refer to

page 78, when driving off curbs to keep clear-

ance as even as possible. Otherwise the vehicle

may be damaged.<

Close the luggage compartment lid

Operate the vehicle only when the lug-

gage compartment lid is closed. Other-

wise, exhaust fumes could enter the interior of

the vehicle.<

If the vehicle must be driven with the luggage

compartment lid open:

1. Close all windows and the glass roof.

2. Greatly increase the air volume of the auto-

matic climate control system, refer to

page 92.

Hot exhaust system

In all vehicles, extremely high tempera-

tures are generated in the exhaust sys-

tem. Do not remove the heat shields installed

adjacent to various sections of the exhaust sys-

tem, and never apply undercoating to them.

When driving, standing at idle and while park-

ing, take care to avoid possible 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. Do not touch hot exhaust pipes, e.g.

when loading the cargo bay, otherwise there is a

risk of burn injuries.<
