Things to remember when driving
Break-in period
300 miles/500 km. During this break-in period,
engage the clutch gently.
Moving parts need breaking-in time to adjust to
each other. Please follow the instructions below
in order to achieve the optimal service life and
economy of operation for your vehicle.
Following part replacement
The same break-in procedures should be
observed if any of the components mentioned
above have to be renewed in the course of the
vehicle's operating life.
Engine and differential
Always obey all official speed limits.
Up to 1,200 miles/2,000 km

speeds, but refrain from exceeding an engine
speed of 4,500 rpm or a driving speed of

page 99.
Sequential manual gearbox SMG
Do not use the acceleration assistant during the
break-in period, page 57.
Hot exhaust system
Tires
In all vehicles, extremely high tempera-
tures are generated in the exhaust sys-
tem. Do not remove the heat shields installed
adjacent to various sections of the exhaust sys-
tem, and never apply undercoating to them.
When driving, standing at idle and while park-
ing, take care to avoid possible contact
between the hot exhaust system and any highly
flammable materials such as hay, leaves, grass,
etc. Such contact could lead to a fire, with the
risk of serious personal injuries and property
damage.<
Due to technical factors associated with their
manufacture, tires do not achieve their full trac-
tion potential until after an initial break-in
period. Therefore, drive cautiously during the
first 200 miles/300 km.
Brake system
Brakes require an initial break-in period of
approx. 300 miles/500 km to achieve optimized
contact and wear patterns between brake pads
and rotors. Drive cautiously during this break-in
period.
Mobile phone in the vehicle
Clutch
BMW discourages the use of mobile
communications devices, e.g. mobile
phones, inside the vehicle without a direct con-
The function of the clutch reaches its optimal
level only after a distance driven of approx.
