Fuel specifications

Tire inflation pressure

The engine uses lead-free gasoline
only. However, you can refuel with dif-
ferent fuel qualities since the engine is
equipped with knock sensors.

In order to achieve rated values for
engine performance and fuel consump-
tion:

Super lead-free premium gasoline
(91 AKI).

AKI = Anti Knock Index

The minimum fuel quality is:

Regular lead-free gasoline (87 AKI).
Because of the engine’s design, you
should refuel with this gasoline only
as an exception.

Do not use leaded fuels. The use
of leaded fuels will cause perma-

nent damage to the system's oxygen
sensor and the catalytic converter.

You will find tire inflation pressures on
the inside door pillar.

Check tire pressures

All pressure specifications are indicated
in psi (kilopascal) for tires at ambient
temperature (refer also to the next
page).

530us009

Check tire inflation pressures reg-
ularly — at least every two weeks

and before beginning a longer trip. In-
correct tire pressure can otherwise lead
to tire damage and accidents.
Check the tire inflation pressure of the
spare wheel. Inflate the spare tire to the
highest inflation of any tire on your vehi-
cle.

Comply with tire approval
specifications

The inflation pressures in the table ap-
ply to tires from BMW-approved manu-
facturers. Your BMW center is familiar
with these pressures. Higher pressures
may be specified for tires from other
manufacturers. You will find a list of
approved tires beginning on page

Your vehicle is equipped with tires that
not only meet US standards, but also
European standards. We recommend
the exclusive use of BMW approved
tires.
