13. Wheels with full wheel covers*:

place the wheel cover with the
valve opening – see arrow – over
the valve. Use both hands to press
the cover securely onto the rim

14. Check and correct the tire inflation

pressure at the earliest opportunity.
Vehicles with Tire Pressure Monitor
(TPM)/Flat Tire Monitor: after
mounting the spare tire or correct-
ing the tire inflation pressure, reini-
tialize the system, refer to pages

and

Protect valve stems and valves from dirt
using screw-on valve stem caps. Dirty
valve stems frequently lead to slow
pressure loss.

Do not attempt to install the full
wheel cover on the space-saver

spare 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 other type of load.
To do so could cause accidents and
personal injury.
To ensure continued safety, have the
tightness of the torque bolts checked
with a calibrated lug wrench – torque
specification: 88.5 lb ft/120 Nm – at the
earliest opportunity.

When storing a wheel in the spare tire
recess, take care to avoid bending the
threaded rod.

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.

Driving with the space-saver
spare tire

Drive cautiously. Do not exceed a
speed of 50 mph / 80 km/h.

Be aware that vehicle handling may be
altered. Anticipate, e.g., reduced track-
ing during braking, longer braking dis-
tances, and changed steering charac-
teristics when approaching limit
conditions. These handling characteris-
tics will be even more pronounced if
winter tires are mounted.

Only one space-saver spare tire
may be mounted at one time.

Mount a wheel and tire of the original
size at the earliest possible opportu-
nity.

Driving with a spare tire*

For certain wheel/tire combina-
tions, the size of the spare tire will

differ from that of the remaining tires.
The spare tire is fully functional at all
loads and speeds. However, the spare
tire should be replaced at the earliest
possible opportunity in order to achieve
the original operating conditions.
