Maximum allowable driving speed
It is not merely the tires' service life, but also
driving comfort and, to a great extent, driving
safety that depend on the condition of the tires
and the maintenance of the specified tire pres-
sure.
Tire inflation pressures for driving up
to 100 mph or 160 km/h
For normal driving up to 100 mph or 160 km/h
and to achieve optimum driving comfort, adjust
pressures to the respective tire inflation pres-
sures listed on the following pages in the col-
umns for traveling speeds up to a maximum of
100 mph or 160 km/h.
Check the tire inflation pressure regularly
and correct it, if necessary: at least twice a
month and before starting long trips. If you fail
to observe this precaution you may be driving
on tires with incorrect tire pressures, a condi-
tion that can not only compromise your vehi-
cle's driving stability, but also lead to tire dam-
age and the risk of an accident. Do not drive
with deflated, i.e. flat tires, except when using
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 loss of
control over the vehicle.<
These tire inflation pressures can also be found
on the driver's side door post when the driver's
door is open.
Checking pressure
Only check tire inflation pressure when the
tires are cold. This means after a maximum of
1.25
been parked for at least 2 hours. When tires are
warm, the tire inflation pressure is higher.
miles/2 km driving or when the vehicle has
The maximum permissible speed for
these tire pressures is 100 mph or
160 km/h. Do not exceed this speed; otherwise,
tire damage and accidents could occur.<
After correcting the tire inflation pressure,
reset the Tire Pressure Monitor, refer to
page 95, or reinitialize the Flat Tire Monitor,
refer to page 93.<

pressures to the respective tire inflation pres-
sures listed on the following pages in the col-
umns for traveling speeds including those
exceeding 100 mph or 160 km/h. Otherwise,
tire damage and accidents could occur.<
The tables below provide all the correct inflation
pressures for the specified tire sizes at ambient
temperature.
The inflation pressures apply to the tire
sizes approved and tire brands recom-
mended by BMW; a list of these is available
from your BMW center.<
Observe all national and local maximum speed
limits; otherwise, violations of the laws could
occur.
For correct identification of the right tire infla-
tion pressures, observe the following:
