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/

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.

Check the tire inflation pressure regularly
and correct it as needed, even on the

compact tire*: at least twice a month and before
starting long trips. Otherwise driving instability
or tire damage, and therefore accidents, can
result from incorrect tire inflation pressures.
Do not drive with depressurized, i.e. flat tires,
except run-flat tires. 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.<
After correcting the tire inflation pressure,
reinitialize the Flat Tire Monitor, refer to
page 95, or reset the Tire Pressure Monitor,
refer to page 97.<
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.<
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.<
Observe all national and local maximum speed
limits, otherwise violations of the law could
occur.
