About this Owner's

Handbook

We have tried to make all the information in this

Owner's Handbook easy to find. The quickest

access to a specific topic or item is by consult-

ing the detailed alphabetical index at the end.

Consult the first chapter for an initial overview of

your car.

When the time comes to sell your BMW, please

remember to hand over this Owner's Hand-

book; it is an important part of the vehicle.

Additional sources of information

If you have any queries, BMW Service will be

glad to advise you.

Information on BMW, e.g. on technical aspects,

can also be found on the Internet on

Your individual vehicle

When you ordered your BMW, you chose vari-

ous items of equipment. This Owner's Hand-

book describes all models and equipment

specifications which BMW offers within this

particular model line.

This explains why the Owner's Handbook may

also contain details of items which you have not

ordered. The differences can easily be identi-

fied by the asterisk

*

shown against optional

extras.

Should your BMW feature equipment which is

not described in this Owner's Handbook,

please refer to the Supplementary Owner's

Handbooks supplied with your vehicle.

In right-hand drive vehicles, some of the

controls are arranged differently from

those shown in the illustrations of this Owner's

Handbook.<

Status at time of printing

The high safety and quality standards of BMW

vehicles are maintained by unceasing develop-

ment work on designs, equipment and acces-

sories. In rare instances, your car may therefore

differ from the information supplied in the

Owner's Handbook.

For your own safety

Maintenance and repair

The advanced technology behind this car,

for example the use of modern materials

and high-performance electronics, means that

specially adapted methods of maintenance and

repair are required. Always have the necessary

work on your BMW performed either by BMW

Service or by a workshop that operates to BMW

specifications and has suitably trained person-

nel. If such work is performed inexpertly, it could

result in consequential damage and thus con-

stitute a safety risk.<

Parts and accessories

BMW recommends using parts and

accessory products on this vehicle that

are specifically approved for this purpose by

BMW.

You are recommended to consult BMW Service

for advice on Genuine BMW parts and accesso-

ries, other BMW-approved products and com-

petent advice on all related matters.

The safety and compatibility of these parts and

products in conjunction with BMW vehicles

have been checked by BMW. BMW accepts

product liability for them.

BMW cannot accept liability for parts or acces-

sory products of any kind which it has not

approved.

BMW is unable to assess each individual prod-

uct of outside origin as to its suitability for use

on BMW vehicles without safety risk. This suit-

ability cannot be guaranteed even if an official

permit has been issued for the particular prod-

uct in a specific country. Tests performed for

such permits cannot always cover all operating

conditions for BMW vehicles, and some of them

therefore are insufficient.<

Indicator and warning lights

The principle

Indicator and warning lights can come on in var-

ious combinations and colours in panel 1 or 2.

Some lights are checked for proper functioning

and thus come on briefly when the engine starts

or the ignition is switched on.

What to do in the event of a fault

A list of all indicator and warning lights, as well

as notes on the possible cause of a fault and on

what corresponding measures should be taken,

can be found starting on page 142.

Controls

This chapter enables you to operate your car

with greater ease. All equipment items that are

of relevance for driving and make your journey

safer and more comfortable are described here.

Controls

Opening and closing

Keys/remote controls

Every remote control contains a rechargeable

battery that is automatically recharged when it

is in the ignition lock while the car is being

driven. Drive a longer distance with each

remote control at least twice annually in order to

maintain battery charge. If your car is fitted with

convenient access

*

, the remote control con-

tains a replaceable battery, see page 26.

The settings called up and implemented when

the car is unlocked depend on which remote

control is used to unlock the car, see Personal

Profile, page 16.

In addition, information about service require-

ments is stored in the remote control, see

Service data in the remote control, page 127.

Integrated key

Press button 1 to release the key.

The integrated key fits the following locks:

> Key switch for front passenger airbags

*

,

see page 40

> Glove box, see page 95

> Driver's door, see page 19

> Saloon:

Luggage compartment lid, see page 21

New remote controls

BMW Service can supply new remote controls

with integrated keys, as additional units or as

replacements in the event of loss.

Personal Profile

The principle

You can set many of your BMW's functions to

suit your personal needs and preferences.

Without any action on your part, Personal Pro-

file ensures that most of these settings are

saved for the remote control currently in use.

When you unlock the car the remote control

used for the purpose is recognised and the set-

tings saved for it are called up and imple-

mented.

This means that your personal settings will be

activated for you, even if in the meantime your

BMW was used by someone else with another

remote control and the corresponding settings.

Individual settings are saved for up to three

remote controls.

the pages referred to.

Central locking system

The principle

The central locking becomes active when the

driver's door is closed.

The following are unlocked or locked in combi-

nation:

> Doors

> Luggage compartment lid/tailgate

> Fuel filler flap

Operating from outside

> Via the remote control

> Via the door lock

> With convenient access

*

by means of the

handles on the driver's and the front pas-

senger's door

The deadlocks are operated at the same time.

The latter prevent the doors from being

unlocked either at the safety lock buttons or

door handles. In addition, if the remote control

is used, the interior lights and the doors' ground

lights

*

are switched on or off. The alarm sys-

tem

*

is also armed or disarmed.

For further details of the alarm system, see

page 23.

Operating from inside

By means of the button for central locking, see

page 20.

In the event of a sufficiently severe accident, the

central locking system unlocks automatically. In

addition, the hazard warning flashers and the

interior lights are switched on.

Opening and closing:

With the remote control

Persons remaining in the car or pets left

inside can lock the doors from the inside.

You should therefore take the remote control

with you when you get out of the vehicle so that

the latter can be opened from the outside.<

Unlocking

Press the button.

The interior lights, the ground lights

*

and the

welcome lights come on.

You can also set the way in which the car is

unlocked. The setting is stored for the remote

Press the button for longer.

The luggage compartment lid opens a short

distance, regardless of whether it was locked or

unlocked.

On certain national-market versions, the

luggage compartment lid cannot be

In order to avoid damage, make sure there is

sufficient clearance before opening the luggage

compartment lid. If the luggage compartment

lid had been locked before it was opened, it is

locked again as soon as it is closed.

Before and after each trip, check that the lug-

gage compartment lid has not been inadvert-

ently unlocked.<

Touring:

Unlocking the tailgate

Press the button for longer.

The tailgate opens a short distance, regardless

of whether it was locked or unlocked.

On certain national-market versions, the

tailgate cannot be opened unless the car

has been unlocked.

If the tailgate had been locked before it was

opened, it is locked again as soon as it is closed.

Before and after each trip, check that the tail-

gate has not been inadvertently unlocked.<

If you press the button on the remote

control for longer a second time within

three seconds, the roller-blind cover is raised

*

.

Before closing the tailgate, press the roller blind

down until it snaps into place.<

Setting confirmation signals

You can choose to have visual confirmation that

the car has been unlocked or locked.
