Care

Car-care products

Regular cleaning and care make a significant
contribution to retaining your BMW's value.
For the cleaning and care of your vehicle, BMW
recommends using only products that BMW
has approved for this purpose.
Your BMW center will be glad to advise you
about products and services for the cleaning
and care of your BMW.

Original BMW Care Products are materi-
als tested, laboratory tested, and tested in

actual use. They offer optimum care and pro-
tection for your vehicle.

Do not use cleaners that contain alcohol
or solvents; they can damage your vehi-

cle.

Cleaning agents can contain substances
that are dangerous or pose health risks.

You should therefore heed the warnings and
hazard indications on the packaging. Open the
doors or windows on your vehicle whenever
cleaning the interior. Make sure there is suffi-
cient ventilation in enclosed spaces. Use only
products that are formulated for vehicle clean-
ing.

Exterior care

Washing your vehicle

In the winter months, it is especially
important to ensure that the vehicle is

washed on a regular basis. Otherwise, signifi-
cant soiling and road salt can cause damage to
the vehicle.

After washing the vehicle, apply the
brakes briefly to dry them. Failure to do so

may lead to a reduction in braking efficiency and
also to corrosion of the brake rotors.

Car washes

Give preference to cloth car washes.

Do not use high-pressure car washes
because they can cause drops of water to

penetrate in the vicinity of the windshield.

Before driving into the car wash, make sure that
it is suitable for your BMW. Pay attention to the
following points:

Dimensions of your vehicle, refer to
page

221

If necessary, fold in the outside rearview
mirrors, refer to page

Maximum permissible tire width.

The convertible top must not be treated
with wax. Make sure that a program without
wax or a special convertible program is
available.

Avoid car washes with guide rail heights
over 4 in/10 cm; otherwise, there is a dan-

ger of damaging chassis parts.

Preparations for driving into the car wash:

Deactivate rain sensor to prevent unwanted
wiper activation.

Remove additional add-on parts, e.g. spoil-
ers or phone antennas, if they could be
damaged.

Sequential Manual Transmission

Before driving into the car wash, make sure the
vehicle is able to roll by making sure to:

Insert the remote control into the ignition
lock, even with Comfort Access.

Shift into transmission position N.

Release the parking brake.

Switch off the engine.

Leave the remote control in the ignition lock
so that the vehicle can roll.

Steam jets/high-pressure washers

When using steam jets or high-pressure
washers, ensure that you maintain suffi-

cient clearance to the vehicle and do not exceed
a temperature of 140 °F/60
