Always read and follow the manufacturer's
instructions.
After washing the convertible top three to five
times, treat it with an impregnating agent.

Paintwork care

Regular care contributes to value retention and
protects the paintwork against the long-term
effects of damaging substances.
Region-specific environmental influences can
damage the vehicle paintwork. Therefore, it is
important to adapt the frequency and scope of
car care accordingly.
Immediately remove aggressive materials such
as spilled fuel, oil, grease, brake fluid, tree sap or
bird droppings to prevent damage to the paint-
work.

Repairing paintwork damage

Immediately repair scratches or similar
damage, such as that caused by stones

hitting the vehicle, where necessary to prevent
rusting.

BMW recommends having paintwork damage
repaired by a professional paint repair work-
shop according to BMW specifications using
original BMW paint materials.

Preservation

A preservation treatment is necessary when
water no longer beads off the clean paintwork
surface. Only use products for paintwork pres-
ervation that contain carnauba or synthetic
waxes.

Rubber seals

Treat only with water or rubber care products.

Do not use silicon-containing care prod-
ucts on rubber seals; otherwise, noise

and damage could occur.

Chrome parts

Carefully clean vehicle parts such as the radia-
tor grill, door handles or window frames with
copious quantities of water and a shampoo
additive, especially when roads are treated with

deicing salt. For additional treatment, use a
chrome polish.

Light-alloy wheels

For technical reasons, dust is generated during
braking that is deposited on the light-alloy
wheels. Remove the dust regularly using acid-
free rim cleaner.

Do not use aggressive, acidic, strongly
alkaline, or abrasive cleaning agents and

do not use steam jets hotter than of 140

; otherwise, damage may occur.

Outside sensors/cameras

Keep the sensors and cameras on the
outside of the vehicle, e.g. those for Park

Distance Control, clean and free of ice to ensure
that they remain fully functional.

Interior care

Upholstery fabrics/cloth trims/

Alcantara fabrics

Vacuum regularly with a vacuum cleaner to
remove superficial dirt.
To remove severe spots such as stains from
beverages, use a soft sponge or lint-free
microfiber cloth and suitable interior cleaners.
Follow the instructions on the packaging.

Clean the upholstery down to the seams
using a sweeping motion. Avoid strong

rubbing.

Opened Velcro fasteners on pants or
other articles of clothing can damage the

seat covers. Ensure that Velcro fasteners are
closed.

Leather/leather trim

The leather used by BMW is a high quality
natural product. Slight irregularities in the

leather are a typical characteristic of natural
leather.

Dust and road grit in the pores and folds of the
leather have an abrasive effect, leading to
increased wear and causing the leather surface
