face of the jack base rests on the ground 
perpendicularly beneath the jacking point.

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

to raise another vehicle model with it or to 
raise any load of any kind. To do so could 
cause accidents and personal injury.

<

2.

Guide the jack head into the rectangular 
recess of the jacking point when cranking 
up, refer to illustration detail.

3.

Jack the vehicle up until the wheel you are 
changing is raised from the ground.

1.

Unscrew the lug bolts and remove the 
wheel.

2.

Remove accumulations of mud or dirt from 
the mounting surfaces of the wheel and 
hub. Also clean the lug bolts.

3.

Position the new wheel or compact wheel. 
Secure the wheel by screwing at least two 
lug bolts into opposite bolt holes.
When you mount wheels other than Genu-
ine BMW light-alloy wheels, different lug 
bolts may also be required.

4.

Screw in the remaining lug bolts. Tighten all 
the bolts securely in a diagonal pattern.

5.

Lower the vehicle and remove the jack from 
beneath the vehicle.

1.

Tighten the lug bolts in a diagonal pattern.

To ensure safety, always have the 
lug bolts checked with a calibrated 

torque wrench as soon as possible to 
ensure that they are tightened to the 

specified torque. The tightening torque is 
88.5 lb ft/120 Nm.

2.

When stowing the wheel and tools in the 
vehicle, execute these steps in the reverse 
order.

3.

Check and correct the tire inflation pressure 
at the earliest opportunity.

Protect valve stems and valve stem 
seal caps against dirt and contamina-

tion. Dirt in valve stems is a frequent source 
of gradual air loss.

4.

Initialize the Flat Tire Monitor, refer to 
page

, or reset the Tire Pressure Monitor, 

refer to page

5.

Replace the damaged tire as soon as possi-
ble and have the new wheel/tire balanced.

Drive reservedly and do not exceed a speed of 
50 mph/80 km/h.
The driving characteristics change, for example 
reduced track stability on braking, extended 
braking distance, and altered self-steering 
characteristics in the limit range. In conjunction 
with winter tires, these characteristics are more 
pronounced.

Only one compact wheel may be 
mounted. You should re-equip with 

wheels and tires of the original size as quickly as 
possible.

all matters concerning the battery.
