Changing a wheel

9 Screw in the remaining lug bolts.

Tighten all the bolts securely.

10 Lower the jack and remove it from

beneath the vehicle.

11 Tighten the lug bolts in a diagonal

pattern.

12 Check and correct the tire inflation

pressure at the earliest opportunity.

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

tempt 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 checked with
a calibrated lug wrench [torque specifi-
cation: 94 ft-lb (130 Nm)] at the earliest
opportunity.

Store the wheel and the tools in the or-
der opposite that for removal. Be sure
that the jack is first placed back into its
original position.

Before removing the support rod,
be sure that the tailgate is held

down firmly. If you fail to do so, it could
retract sharply upward and cause per-
sonal injury and vehicle damage.
After you remove the rod, close the tail-
gate carefully. Continue to hold it firmly
until it is completely closed.

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.

The spare wheel has a size
235/65 R 17 tire. If you have

mounted tires on your vehicle with a
different size, have wheels and tires of
the same size and specification rein-
stalled as soon as possible.
When the spare wheel is mounted, the
maximum speed rating is 130 mph
(210 km/h).
