Replacing wheels/tires
Have new wheels and tires
installed only by your BMW Sports
Activity Vehicle center or tire shop that
works according to BMW repair proce-
dures with correspondingly trained per-
sonnel. If this work is not carried out
properly, there is a danger of subse-
quent damage and related safety haz-
ards.<
The right wheels and tires
BMW recommends that you use
only wheel and tire combinations
that BMW has tested and approved for
your particular vehicle. Variations in fac-
tors such as manufacturing tolerances
mean that even wheels and tires with
identical official size ratings could actu-

approved units – these differences
could lead to body contact, and with it
the risk of severe accidents. If non-

result in a limited service life.<
You can ask your BMW Sports Activity
Vehicle center for the correct wheel/tire
combination.
With proper use, these tires meet the
highest standards for safety and han-
dling characteristics.
The correct wheel/tire combination also
affects various systems whose function
would otherwise be impaired, e.g. ABS,
DSC, xDrive.
To maintain good handling and vehicle
response, use only tires of a single
tread configuration from a single manu-
facturer. After tire damage, always
remember to have the original wheel
and tire combination remounted on the
vehicle as soon as possible.
