Overview
Changing a wheel Repairing a flat tire
The M roadster and M coupe are deliv-
ered from the factory without a jack and
lug wrench.
Please have your BMW center switch
the tires on your vehicle from summer
to winter tires, or the reverse.
To repair a flat tire, refer to the following
pages.
Safety measures in the event of a
flat tire:
Stop the vehicle as far as possible from
the flow of traffic. Turn on the hazard
warning flashers.
Turn the steering wheel to the straight-
ahead position and engage the steering
lock, engage the parking brake and
shift into 1st or reverse gear.
All passengers should be outside the
vehicle and well away from your imme-
diate working area (for instance, behind
the guardrail).
If a warning triangle or portable hazard
warning lamp is available, set it up on
the roadside at an appropriate distance
from the rear of the vehicle. Comply
with all safety guidelines and regula-
tions.

M Mobility System
You will find an M Mobility system in the
M roadster and M coupe, for repairing
flat tires. With the aid of this system,
you can apply a liquid sealant to the
inside of the tire, thereby sealing off the
damaged area, and then continue
driving.
The M Mobility system makes trans-
porting a spare wheel superfluous,
thereby reducing the amount of weight
you have to carry around.
