BMW 2005 M3 Convertible Manual Do Proprietário

BMW recommends using only 
wheels and tires that have been 

tested and approved by BMW for the 
particular vehicle model, as otherwise 
body contact and serious accidents can 
result despite the use of the same nom-
inal size, e.g. due to manufacturing tol-
erances. If non-approved wheels and 
tires are used, BMW cannot evaluate 
their suitability, and therefore cannot be 
held liable for driving safety.

<

To maintain good handling characteris-
tics, only use a full set of tires of the 
same brand and tread configuration. 
After a flat tire, have the previous wheel 
and tire combination restored as soon 
as possible.

For each tire size, certain tire brands 
have been tested, classified as road-
safe and approved by BMW. You can 
find out about these from a professional 
tire center, preferably your BMW cen-
ter. Observe any country-specific regu-
lations, e.g. on making a corresponding 
entry in the vehicle documents.

The factory-approved radial belt tires 
are matched to your vehicle and pro-
vide optimum safety and driving com-
fort when used properly.

BMW recommends the use of winter 
tires for operation under winter road 
conditions. While all-season tires with 
M+S designation provide better winter 
traction than summer tires, they gener-
ally do not achieve the full performance 
of winter tires.

Never exceed the maximum 
speed for which the winter tires 

are rated. Unprofessional attempts by 
laymen to service tires can lead to dam-
age and accidents. Have this work per-
formed by skilled professionals only. 
The technicians at your BMW center 
will be glad to assist you with the 
required professional knowledge and 
specialized equipment.

<

Always store tires in a cool, dry place. 
Store them away from light whenever 
possible. Protect the tires against con-
tact with oil, grease and fuel. Do not 
exceed the maximum tire inflation pres-
sures specified on the tire sidewall.
