Moving parts need to be given some time until 
they can interact smoothly with one another. To 
ensure that your vehicle provides maximum 
economy throughout a long service life, we 
request that you observe the following:
Always obey all official speed limits.

Drive at varying engine and road speeds, but do 
not exceed 4,500 rpm or 100 mph/160 km/h.
Refrain from using full throttle and avoid press-
ing the accelerator beyond the kickdown point.

Engine and vehicle speeds can be gradually 
increased.

Due to technical factors associated with their 
manufacture, tires do not achieve their full trac-
tion potential until an initial break-in period has 
elapsed. Therefore, drive cautiously during the 
first 200 miles/300 km.

Brakes require an initial break-in period of 
approx. 300 miles/500 km to achieve optimized 
contact and wear patterns between brake pads 
and rotors. Drive cautiously during this break-in 
period.

The function of the clutch reaches its optimal 
level only after a distance driven of approx. 
300 miles/500 km. Shift gears carefully during 
the break-in period.

The same break-in procedures should be 
observed if any of the components mentioned 
above have to be renewed in the course of the 
vehicle's operating life.

Operate the vehicle only when the lug-
gage compartment lid/tailgate is closed. 

Otherwise, exhaust fumes could enter the inte-
rior of the vehicle.

<

Should it be absolutely necessary to drive with 
the luggage compartment lid/tailgate open:

1.

Coupe: close both windows.
Roadster: close all windows if the convert-
ible top is closed.

2.

Greatly increase the air flow from the air 
conditioning or automatic climate control, 
refer to page

In all vehicles, extremely high tempera-
tures are generated in the exhaust sys-

tem. Never remove the heat shields installed in 
this area, nor apply undercoating to their sur-
faces. When driving, standing at idle or parking 
the vehicle, take care to avoid contact between 
the hot exhaust system and flammable materi-
als, e.g. hay, leaves, grass, etc. Such contact 
could lead to a fire, resulting in serious personal 
injury and property damage. Do not touch the 
hot exhaust pipes to avoid the risk of injury from 
burns.

<

BMW advises against using mobile com-
munications devices, e.g. mobile phones, 

inside the vehicle without connecting them 
directly to an outside antenna. Otherwise, it
