with shampoo added to it. For additional treat-

Leather/leather-covered paneling
The leather used by BMW is a high quality
natural product. Slight patterns in the
grain are part of the typical properties of a natu-
ral leather.<
Alloy wheels
Depending on your system, braking can gener-
ate dust, which settles on the light-alloy wheels.
Remove this dust regularly with acid-free wheel
cleaner.
Dust and dirt from the road chafe in pores and
folds and result in considerable wear and cause
the leather surface to become prematurely brit-
tle. We therefore suggest that you clean the
leather with a dust cloth or vacuum cleaner at
regular intervals.
Do not use aggressive, acid-containing,
strongly alkaline, or coarse cleansers and
do not use steam cleaners at temperatures
greater than 1407/606; otherwise you may
damage your vehicle.<
Particularly with light-colored leather, make
sure to clean it regularly since it has a greater
tendency to become soiled.
Aluminum running boards
Treat the leather twice a year with a leather
lotion since dirt and grease harm the protective
layer of the leather.
A rust film on the aluminum running boards can
be removed with a special cleaning agent.
Outside sensors/cameras
Carpets/cargo bay
Keep the sensors and cameras outside
the vehicle, e.g. the Park Distance Control
or rear view camera, clean and free of ice to
ensure their full operability.<
Floor carpets and floor mats can be vacuumed
or cleaned with interior cleaner when they are
more heavily soiled.
Floor mats can be removed for cleaning. When
inserting into place, make sure that the seat
rails do not protrude over the floor mats; other-
wise floor mats can be damaged.
Interior care
Fluff on new floor mats is a result of the produc-
tion process and can be removed by repeated
vacuuming.
Upholstery materials/cloth-covered
paneling
Clean regularly with a vacuum cleaner in order
to remove surface dirt.
Plastic components inside
In the event of more serious soiling such as bev-
erage stains, use a soft sponge or a lint-free
microfiber cloth in combination with suitable

Open Velcro fasteners on pants or other
items of clothing can cause damage to
the seat covering. Make sure that the Velcro
fasteners are closed.<
Fine wooden components
Use a damp cloth to clean fine wooden trim
panels and components. Follow up by drying
with a soft cloth.
