Replacing components
Onboard tool kit
Never touch the glass on new bulbs with
your bare fingers, as even minute
amounts of contamination will burn into the
bulb's surface and reduce its service life. Use a
clean cloth, napkin, etc., or hold the bulb by its
metal socket.<
A selection of replacement bulbs is available at
your BMW center.
Whenever you perform any work on the
electrical system, turn off the electrical
devices involved to prevent short circuits from
occurring. To avoid possible injury or equip-
ment damage when replacing bulbs, follow any
instructions provided by the bulb manufac-
turer.<
The onboard tool kit is located in the luggage
compartment under the floor mat.
Wiper blade replacement
When performing maintenance on the head-
lamps, follow the instructions in the separate
Caring for your vehicle brochure.
For bulbs for which changing is not
described, and for checking and adjusting
headlamp aim, please contact your BMW cen-
ter.<
Light-emitting diodes LEDs
Light-emitting diodes installed behind translu-
cent lenses serve as the light source for many of
the controls and displays in your vehicle. These
light-emitting diodes, which operate using a
concept similar to that applied in conventional
lasers, are officially designated as Class 1 light-
emitting diodes.

Fold the wiper arm out and grasp it firmly.
Press the locking tabs together while slid-
ing the wiper blade toward the front to dis-
engage it.

Insert the new wiper blade and slide it in
until it audibly clicks into place.
Do not remove the covers, and never
stare into the unfiltered light for several
hours, as irritation of the retina could result.<
Lamps and bulbs
Xenon lamps
Lamps and bulbs make an essential contribu-
tion to driving safety. You must be duly diligent
in replacing them. If you are not familiar with the
specified procedures, have the corresponding
work carried out at your BMW center.
The service life of these lamps is very long and
the probability of a failure is very low, provided
that they are not switched on and off an unusual
number of times.
Have work on the Xenon lighting system
performed only by your BMW center or a
workshop that works according to BMW repair
