leather with a dust cloth or vacuum cleaner at
regular intervals.
Particularly with light-colored leather, make
sure to clean it regularly since it has a greater
tendency to become soiled.
Treat the leather twice a year with a leather
lotion since dirt and grease harm the protective
layer of the leather.
Aluminum running boards
A rust film on the aluminum running boards can
be removed with a special cleaning agent.
Carpeting/floor mats*
Outside sensors/cameras
Floor mats can be removed for cleaning.
If the carpets are very dirty, clean with a microfi-
ber cloth and water or an interior cleaner. To
prevent matting of the carpet, rub back and
forth in the direction of travel only.
Make sure that sensors and cameras out-
side the vehicle, e.g. Park Distance Con-
trol, Top View, or rear view camera, are kept
clean and free of ice in order to assure full func-
tionality.<

Safety belts
Soiled seatbelt straps hinder the reeling, thus
reducing safety.
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.<
Do not use chemical cleansers as they
can destroy the webbing.<
Inside sensors/cameras
Leather/leather-covered paneling
Clean inside sensors and cameras, such as
those of the high-beam assistant, using a lint-

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.<
Displays
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

cluster using a display-cleaning cloth or a soft,
nonabrasive lint-free cloth.
