Remove bird droppings immediately
because their caustic properties have a cor-
rosive effect on the convertible top and can
damage the rubber seals.

Hand washing
When washing the vehicle by hand, use plenty
of water and car washing shampoo. Clean the
vehicle with gentle pressure using a sponge or a
washing brush.
Do not use stain remover, paint thinner,
solvents, gasoline, or the like to remove
stains. These substances can damage the rub-
ber coating. Improper care and cleaning can
cause leaks to develop in the convertible top
and its seams.<
Before cleaning the windshield, deacti-
vate the rain sensor or switch off the igni-
tion to prevent unwanted wiper operation.<
In the event of more serious soiling, use a spe-
cial convertible top cleaner.
When doing so, follow the manufacturer's
directions for use.
Follow local guidelines for washing vehi-
cles by hand.<
Headlamps
After three to five washings, treat the convert-
ible top with sealant.
Do not rub dry and never use abrasives or
strong solvents to clean the covers.
Loosen dirt, e.g. insects, with shampoo or
insect remover and wash away with plenty of
water.
Caring for the vehicle finish
Regular care helps your vehicle retain its value
and protects the paint from the long-term
effects of aggressive substances.
Use a window deicer to remove accumulated
ice and snow, not a scraper.
Regionally occurring environmental factors can
affect and damage vehicle finish. It is therefore
important to tailor the frequency and extent of
your car care accordingly.
Windows
Use a glass cleaner to clean the inside and out-
side surfaces of the windows and the glass sur-
faces of the mirrors.
Immediately remove particularly aggressive
substances such as spilled fuel, oil, grease,
brake fluid, tree resin, or bird droppings; other-
wise, they may damage your paint.
Do not use quartz-containing cleansers
to clean glass surfaces of the mirrors.<
Convertible top care
Repairing paint damage
The appearance and service life of the convert-
ible top depend on proper care and operation.
Repair stone damage or scratches imme-
diately, depending on the severity of the
damage, to prevent the formation of rust.<
Please follow these instructions:
BMW recommends having paint damage pro-
fessionally repaired using Genuine BMW finish
materials in accordance with factory guidelines.

Never stow the convertible top in the con-
vertible top compartment when it is wet or
