When the ignition is switched off.
After approx. 15 minutes.
Otherwise, particles of dust and road grime
chafe in pores and folds, and lead to increased
wear and premature degradation of the leather
surface.
Headlamps
To guard against discoloration, such as from
clothing, provide leather care roughly every two
months.
Do not rub dry and do not use abrasive or
caustic cleansers.
Soak areas that have been soiled e.g. due to
insects, with shampoo and wash off with
water.
Clean light-colored leather more frequently as
dust and dirt are more noticeable.
Use leather care products; otherwise, dirt and
grease will gradually break down the protective
layer of the leather surface.
Thaw ice with de-icing spray; do not use an
ice scraper.
After washing the vehicle
Suitable care products are available from the
service center.
After washing the vehicle, apply the brakes
briefly to dry them; otherwise, braking action can
be reduced and corrosion of the brake discs can
occur.
Upholstery material care
Vacuum regularly with a vacuum cleaner.
If they are very dirty, e.g., beverage stains, use a
soft sponge or microfiber cloth with a suitable
interior cleaner.
Vehicle care
Clean the upholstery down to the seams using
large sweeping motions. Avoid rubbing the ma‐
terial vigorously.
Car care products
BMW recommends using cleaning and care
products from BMW, since these have been
tested and approved.
Damage from Velcro® fasteners
Open Velcro® fasteners on pants or other
articles of clothing can damage the seat covers.
Ensure that any Velcro® fasteners are closed.◀
Car care and cleaning products
Follow the instructions on the container.
When cleaning the interior, open the doors or
windows.
Caring for special components
Light-alloy wheels
Only use products intended for cleaning vehi‐
cles.
Use wheel cleaner, particularly during the winter
months. Do not use aggressive, acidic, strongly
alkaline or abrasive cleaners, or steam jets
above 140 ℉/60 ℃; follow the manufacturer's
instructions.
Cleansers can contain substances that are dan‐
gerous and harmful to your health.◀
Vehicle paint
Regular care contributes to driving safety and
value retention.
Chrome surfaces*
Environmental influences can act on the vehicle
paint. Tailor the frequency and extent of your car
care to these influences.
Carefully clean components such as the radiator
grille or door handles with an ample supply of
water, possibly with shampoo added, particu‐
larly when they have been exposed to road salt.
Leather care
Remove dust from the leather often, using a
cloth or vacuum cleaner.
