Leather care
▷
Do not rub dry and do not use abrasive or
caustic cleansers.
Remove dust from the leather often, using a
cloth or vacuum cleaner.
▷
Soak areas that have been soiled e.g. due to
insects, with shampoo and wash off with
water.
Otherwise, particles of dust and road grime
chafe in pores and folds, and lead to increased
wear and premature degradation of the leather
surface.
▷
Thaw ice with de-icing spray; do not use an
ice scraper.
To guard against discoloration, such as from
clothing, provide leather care roughly every two
months.
Retractable hardtop
When you open a wet hardtop, water drops may
run into the cargo area. If necessary, remove
items from the trunk beforehand to avoid water
stains or soiling.
Clean light-colored leather more frequently as
dust and dirt are more noticeable.
Use leather care products; otherwise, dirt and
grease will gradually break down the protective
layer of the leather surface.
After washing the vehicle
After washing the vehicle, apply the brakes
briefly to dry them; otherwise, braking action can
be reduced and corrosion of the brake discs can
occur.
Suitable care products are available from the
service center.
Upholstery material care
Vacuum regularly with a vacuum cleaner.
Vehicle care
If they are very dirty, e.g., beverage stains, use a
soft sponge or microfiber cloth with a suitable
interior cleaner.
Car care products
Clean the upholstery down to the seams using
large sweeping motions. Avoid rubbing the ma‐
terial vigorously.
BMW recommends using cleaning and care
products from BMW, since these have been
tested and approved.
