Tire inflation pressure
The engine uses lead-free gasoline
only.
Check tire inflation pressures
regularly – at least every two
weeks and before each extended
journey. Otherwise, incorrect tire pres-
sure can lead to poor handling, tire
damage and accidents.<
Required fuel:
> Premium Unleaded Gasoline,
min. 91 AKI
AKI = Anti Knock Index
Comply with tire approval
specifications
Do not use leaded fuels. The use
of leaded fuels will cause perma-
nent damage to the system's oxygen
sensor and the catalytic converter.<
The inflation pressures in the table
apply to tires made by BMW-approved
manufacturers. Your BMW center is
familiar with these pressures. Higher
pressures may be specified for tires
made by other manufacturers.
You will find a list of approved tire sizes
on page 104.
You will find the tire inflation pressures
on the door pillar (visible with door
open).
Check tire pressures
Your vehicle is equipped with tires that
not only meet US standards, but also
European standards. We recommend
the exclusive use of BMW-approved
tires.
All pressure specifications are indicated
in psi (kilopascal) for cold tires at
ambient temperature (refer also to the
next page).
Remember to reactivate the Flat
Tire Monitor after every wheel or
tire change, refer to page 67.<
