Mounting a wheel
Preparing wheel change

Unscrew the lug bolts and remove the
wheel.
1.
2.
Observe the safety precautions above.
Prevent the vehicle from rolling:
Place the chock behind the front wheel on
the other side of the vehicle, or on inclines,
in front of this wheel. On steeply inclined
roads, always secure the vehicle against
rolling.
2.
Remove accumulations of mud or dirt from
the mounting surfaces of the wheel and
hub. Also clean the lug bolts.
3.
Position the new wheel or compact wheel.
Secure the wheel by screwing at least two
lug bolts into opposite bolt holes.
3.
Loosen the lug bolts a half turn.
When you mount wheels other than Genu-
ine BMW light-alloy wheels, different lug
bolts may also be required.
Jacking up vehicle
1.
Position the vehicle jack at the jacking point
closest to the wheel so that the entire sur-
face of the jack base rests on the ground
perpendicularly beneath the jacking point.
4.
5.
Screw in the remaining lug bolts. Tighten all
the bolts securely in a diagonal pattern.
Lower the vehicle and remove the jack from
beneath the vehicle.
The vehicle jack is designed for
changing wheels only. Do not attempt
to raise another vehicle model with it or to
raise any load of any kind. To do so could
cause accidents and personal injury.<
After mounting
1.
Tighten the lug bolts in a diagonal pattern.
To ensure safety, always have the
lug bolts checked with a calibrated
torque wrench as soon as possible to
ensure that they are tightened to the speci-
fied torque. Otherwise, incorrectly tight-
ened lug bolts are a hidden safety risk. The
tightening torque is 88.5 lb ft/120 Nm.<
2.
When stowing the wheel and tools in the
vehicle, execute these steps in the reverse
order.
