Tire inflation pressures for driving up to
mph or 160 km/h
Information for your safety
100
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.
For normal driving up to 100 mph/160 km/h, ad‐
just pressures to the respective tire inflation
pressures listed on the following pages in the
column for traveling speeds up to 100 mph/
160
km/h to achieve optimum driving comfort.
Check the tire inflation pressure regularly
These tire inflation pressures can also be found
on the driver's side door pillar when the driver's
door is open.
Regularly check the tire inflation pressure
and correct it as needed: at least twice a month
and before a long trip. If you fail to observe this
precaution, you may be driving on tires with in‐
correct tire pressures, a condition that may not
only compromise your vehicle's driving stability,
but also lead to tire damage and the risk of an
accident.◀
Checking the pressure
Only check the tire inflation pressure when the
tires are cold. This means after a maximum of
Do not exceed the maximum permissible
speed
1.25
miles/2 km driving or when the vehicle has
been parked for at least 2 hours. When the tires
are warm, the tire inflation pressure is higher.
The maximum permissible speed for these tire
pressures is 100 mph/160 km/h Do not exceed
this speed; otherwise, tire damage and acci‐
dents could occur.◀
After adjusting the tire inflation pressure, reset
the Tire Pressure Monitor, refer to page 84, or
reinitialize the Flat Tire Monitor, refer to
page 82.

Pressure specifications
Adjust the tire inflation pressures
The tables below provide all the correct inflation
pressures for the specified tire sizes at ambient
temperature.
To drive at maximum speeds in excess of
100 mph/160 km/h, adjust pressures to the re‐
spective tire inflation pressures listed on the fol‐
lowing pages in the column for traveling speeds
including those exceeding 100 mph or 160 km/
h. Otherwise, tire damage and accidents could
occur.◀
The inflation pressures apply to the tire sizes
approved and tire brands recommended by
BMW; a list of these is available from your serv‐
ice center.
For correct identification of the right tire inflation
pressures, observe the following:
Observe all national and local maximum speed
limits; otherwise, violations of the laws could oc‐
