Tire inflation pressure
For correct identification of the right tire infla-
tion pressure for your tires, observe the follow-
ing:
Information for your safety

Tire sizes of your vehicle
Load conditions
The condition of the tires and the maintenance
of the specified tire pressure are crucial not only >
to the tire's service life, but also to driving com-
fort and most importantly, driving safety.

Maximum allowable driving speed
Tire inflation pressures for speeds
up to 100 mph/160 km/h
Checking pressure
Only check tire inflation pressure when the tires
are cold. This means after a maximum of
For normal driving up to 100 mph/160 km/h,
adjust pressures to the respective tire inflation
pressures listed on the following pages in the
column Traveling speeds up to max. 100 mph/
1.25
miles/2 km driving or when the vehicle has
been parked for at least 2 hours. When tires are
warm, the tire inflation pressure increases.
160
km/h to achieve optimum driving comfort.
Check the tire inflation pressure regularly
and correct if necessary, including on the
spare wheel*: at least twice a month and before
starting long trips. If you fail to observe this pre-
caution, you may be driving on tires with incor-
rect tire pressures, a condition that can not only
compromise your vehicle's driving stability, but
also lead to tire damage and the risk of an acci-
dent. Do not drive with a depressurized, i.e. flat,
tire. A flat tire will seriously impair your vehicle's
handling and braking response. Attempts to
drive on a flat tire can lead to a loss of control
over the vehicle.<
These pressure specifications can be found on
the door post when you open the driver's door.
The permissible top speed for these tire
inflation pressures is 100 mph/160 km/h.
Do not exceed this speed, otherwise tire dam-
age and accidents may result.<
After correcting the inflation pressure(s),
always reinitialize the Flat Tire Monitor,
refer to page 77.<
Pressure specifications
Tire inflation pressures for speeds
above 100 mph/160 km/h
The tables below provide all the correct inflation
pressures for the specified tire sizes at ambient
temperature.
In order to drive at maximum speeds in
excess of 100 mph/160 km/h, please
observe, and, if necessary, adjust tire pressures
for speeds exceeding 100 mph/160 km/h from
the relevant table on the following pages.
Otherwise tire damage and accidents could
occur.<
The inflation pressures apply to the tire
sizes and tire brands respectively
approved and recommended by BMW; a list of
these is available from your BMW center.<
