Things to remember when driving
Breaking-in
General driving notes
Moving parts need time to adjust to one
another. To ensure that your vehicle continues
to furnish optimized economy of operation
throughout an extended service life, we request
that you devote careful attention to the follow-
ing information.
Closing luggage compartment lid
Operate the vehicle only when the lug-
gage compartment lid is completely
closed. Otherwise, exhaust fumes could pene-
trate into the passenger compartment.<
If special circumstances should make it abso-
lutely necessary to operate the vehicle with the
luggage compartment lid open:
Engine and differential
Always obey all official speed limits.
1.
2.
Close all windows and the glass sunroof.
Up to 1,200 miles/2,000 km
Adjust the automatic climate control's
blower to supply a high rate of airflow, refer
to page 106.
Drive with changing engine and vehicle speeds,
but do not exceed:
4500 rpm or 100 mph/160 km/h
Hot exhaust system
Avoid full-throttle operation and use of the
transmission's kick-down mode during these
initial miles.
As in all vehicles, extremely high temper-
atures are generated on exhaust system.
Do not remove the heat shields installed adja-
cent to it, and never apply undercoating to
them. When driving, standing at idle, and 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, accompa-
nied by the risk of serious property damage and
personal injury.<
From 1,200 miles/2,000 km
The engine and vehicle speed can gradually be
increased.
Tires
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 reservedly during the
first 200 miles/300 km.
Mobile communications devices in
vehicle
BMW does not recommend using mobile
communications devices, e.g. mobile
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.
phones, inside the vehicle without a direct con-
nection to an outside antenna. Otherwise, the
vehicle electronics and mobile communications
device can affect each other. In addition, there
is no assurance that the radiation which results
during transmission will be discharged from the
vehicle interior.<
Following component replacements
Follow the break-in sequence again if compo-
nents addressed above must be replaced again
during subsequent driving.
