Preparing for a wheel change

Read carefully and comply with the safety
precautions on page

209

Secure the vehicle to prevent it from rolling:
Place the wheel chock against the rear sur-
face of the front tire on the side opposite the
side being raised. If the vehicle is parked on
a downward slope, place the wheel chock
securely in front of the tire. On a steep
grade, also secure the vehicle against roll-
ing.

Loosen the lug bolts a half turn.

Lifting vehicle

Position the jack at the jacking point closest
to the wheel so that the entire jack base
makes contact vertically under 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.

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

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

Mounting a wheel

Unscrew the lug bolts and remove the
wheel.

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

Position the new wheel or spare tire on the
hub and screw in at least two bolts diago-
nally.
When you mount wheels other than Genu-
ine BMW light-alloy wheels, different lug
bolts may also be required.

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

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