Repair stone damage or scratches imme-
diately, depending on the severity of the 

damage, to prevent the formation of rust.

BMW recommends having paint damage pro-
fessionally repaired using Genuine BMW finish 
materials in accordance with factory guidelines.

Sealant is required when water no longer beads 
on the clean surface of the paint. Use only prod-
ucts that contain carnauba wax or synthetic wax 
to seal your finish.

Treat only with water or a rubber care product.

To avoid noise or damage, do not use 
products that contain silicone to care for 

rubber gaskets.

Particularly after exposure to road salt, thor-
oughly cleanse parts like the radiator grille, door 
handles, or window frames with plenty of water 
with shampoo added to it. For additional treat-
ment, use chrome polish.

Depending on your system, braking can gener-
ate dust, which settles on the light-alloy wheels. 
Remove this dust regularly with acid-free wheel 
cleaner.

Do not use aggressive, acid-containing, 
strongly alkaline, or coarse cleansers and 

do not use steam cleaners at temperatures 
greater than 60 °C; otherwise you may damage 
your vehicle.

<

Sensors outside the vehicle, such as Park 
Distance Control sensors or radar sen-

sors, should be kept clean and free of ice to 
maintain their full function.

<

Clean regularly with a vacuum cleaner in order 
to remove surface dirt.
In the event of more serious soiling such as bev-
erage stains, use a soft sponge or a lint-free 
microfiber cloth in combination with suitable 
interior cleaners. Follow the instructions on the 
packaging.

Clean upholstery material over a large 
area extending out to the seams. Avoid 

intense friction.

<

Open Velcro fasteners on pants or other 
items of clothing can cause damage to 

the seat covering. Make sure that the Velcro 
fasteners are closed.

The leather used by BMW is a high quality 
natural product. Slight patterns in the 

grain are part of the typical properties of a natu-
ral leather.

<

Dust and dirt from the road chafe in pores and 
folds and result in considerable wear and cause 
the leather surface to become prematurely brit-
tle. We therefore suggest that you clean the 
leather with a dust cloth or vacuum cleaner at 
regular intervals.
Particularly with light-colored leather, make 
sure to clean it regularly since it has a greater 
tendency to become soiled.
Treat the leather twice a year with a leather 
lotion since dirt and grease harm the protective 
layer of the leather.

Carpeting, floor mats, and luggage compart-
ment rugs and paneling can be cleaned with a 
vacuum or in the event of more serious soiling, 
cleansed with an interior cleaner.
Floor mats and luggage compartment rugs can 
be removed for cleaning. When inserting into 
place, make sure that the seat rails do not pro-
