Coolant
Do not add coolant to the cooling system

Not all commercially available additives are suit-
able for your BMW. Ask your BMW center for
suitable additives.

after a corresponding message is shown on the
Control Display.

aged.<
Only use suitable additives; otherwise,
engine damage may result. Because
additives are harmful to your health, it is impor-
tant to follow the instructions on the contain-
ers.<
Keep oils, greases, etc. out of the reach of
children and comply with the relevant
warnings on the containers. Otherwise, health
hazards may result.<
Comply with the appropriate environ-
mental protection regulations when dis-
posing of coolant additives.<
Oil change
Have oil changed only at your BMW center or at
a workshop that works according to BMW
repair procedures with correspondingly trained
personnel.
Checking coolant level
1.
Do not open the engine hood before the
engine has cooled down.
2.
Turn the cap of the expansion tank a little
counterclockwise to allow any accumulated
pressure to escape, then continue turning
to open.
Oil types
Do not use oil additives as this could
result in engine damage.<
3.
The coolant level is correct if it is between
the maximum and minimum marks in the
Specified engine oils
Your service center can advise you on which
engine oils have been approved by the manu-
facturer of your vehicle.
