For the cleaning and care of your vehicle, BMW
recommends using only products that BMW
has approved for this purpose.
Your BMW center will be glad to advise you
about products and services for the cleaning
and care of your BMW.

als tested, laboratory tested, and tested in
actual use. They offer optimum care and pro-
tection for your vehicle.
<
Do not use cleaners that contain alcohol
or solvents; they can damage your vehi-
cle.
<
Cleaning agents can contain substances
that are dangerous or pose health risks.
You should therefore heed the warnings and
hazard indications on the packaging. Open the
doors or windows on your vehicle whenever
cleaning the interior. Make sure there is suffi-
cient ventilation in enclosed spaces. Use only
products that are formulated for vehicle clean-
ing.

Exterior care
Washing your vehicle
In the winter months, it is especially
important to ensure that the vehicle is
washed on a regular basis. Otherwise, signifi-
cant soiling and road salt can cause damage to
the vehicle.
<
After washing the vehicle, apply the
brakes briefly to dry them. Failure to do so
may lead to a reduction in braking efficiency and
also to corrosion of the brake rotors.
<
Car washes
Give preference to cloth car washes.
Do not use high-pressure car washes
because they can cause drops of water to
penetrate in the vicinity of the windshield.
<
Before driving into the car wash, make sure that
it is suitable for your BMW. Pay attention to the
following points:
>
Dimensions of your vehicle, refer to
page

If necessary, fold in the outside rearview
mirrors, refer to page

Maximum permissible tire width.

The convertible top must not be treated
with wax. Make sure that a program without
wax or a special convertible program is
available.
Preparations for driving into the car wash:
>
Deactivate rain sensor to prevent unwanted
wiper activation.
>
Remove additional add-on parts, e.g. spoil-
ers or phone antennas, if they could be
damaged.

vehicle is able to roll by making sure to:
1.

lock, even with comfort access.
