Overview

Changing a wheel

8 Remove mud or dirt accumulation

from the mounting surfaces of the
wheel and hub. Clean the lug bolts.

9 Position the new wheel or the

space-saver tire on the hub and
screw at least two lug bolts finger-
tight into opposite bolt holes.

10 Screw in the remaining lug bolts.

Tighten all the bolts snugly.

11 Lower the jack and remove it from

beneath the vehicle.

12 Tighten the lug bolts in a diagonal

pattern.

13 If your wheels are equipped with full

wheel covers

, place the wheel

cover with the valve opening over
the valve (arrow). Use both hands
to press the cover securely onto
the rim.

14 Check and correct the tire's inflation

pressure at the earliest possibility.
For vehicles with Tire Pressure
Control (RDC):
After mounting the spare tire or
correcting the inflation pressure,
reactivate the system. Refer to
page

Use only the full wheel cover in-
stalled by the factory. Other wheel

covers may not fit securely. The full
wheel cover may not be installed on the
space-saver tire since this could
damage the cover.

The vehicle jack is designed for
changing wheels only. Do not

attempt to raise another vehicle model
with it or to raise any load of any kind.
To do so could cause accidents and
personal injury.
To ensure continued safety, have the
tightness of the lug bolts [torque
specification: 76 lb. ft. (100 Nm)]
checked with a calibrated torque
wrench.

When storing the wheel, take care to
ensure that you do not damage the
retaining pin in the spare tire recess.

If light-alloy wheels other than original
BMW light-alloy wheels have been
mounted, it may be necessary to use
different lug bolts for those wheels.

Replace the defective tire as soon as
possible and have the new wheel/tire
balanced.
