with correspondingly trained personnel. If this
work is not carried out properly, there is a dan-
ger of subsequent damage and related safety
hazards. Make sure that the new wheels are bal-
anced.

Retreaded tires

BMW does not recommend that you use
retreaded tires, as driving safety may be

impaired. The causes for this include the possi-
bly different tire casing structures and the often
wide variations in their age, which can result in a
limited service life.

The right wheels and tires

BMW recommends that you use only
wheel and tire combinations that BMW

has tested and approved for your particular
vehicle. Variations in factors such as manufac-
turing tolerances mean that even wheels and
tires with identical official size ratings could
actually have different dimensions than the
approved units – these differences could lead to
body contact, and with it the risk of severe acci-
dents. When selecting the tires, also ensure
that they have a sufficient load-carrying capac-
ity. If non-approved wheels and tires are used,
BMW cannot evaluate their suitability, and
therefore cannot be held liable for driving
safety.

You can inquire about the right wheel/tire com-
bination at your BMW center.
The right wheel-and-tire combination is
another vital factor in ensuring reliable opera-
tion of various vehicle systems such as ABS
and DSC.
To maintain good handling and vehicle
response, use only tires of a single tread config-
uration from a single manufacturer. Following
tire damage, have the original wheel and tire
combination remounted on the vehicle as soon
as possible.

Wheels with electronics for

TPM Tire Pressure Monitor

When mounting new tires or converting from
summer to winter tires or vice versa, only use

wheels with TPM electronics, otherwise the
Tire Pressure Monitor cannot detect a flat tire,
refer to page

. Your BMW center will be

happy to advise you on this subject.

Recommended tire brands

Certain tire makes are recommended by BMW
depending on the tire size. You can recognize
these from the clearly visible BMW marking on
the tire sidewall.
When used properly, these tires comply with
the most demanding standards for safety and
vehicle response.

Special characteristics of winter tires

BMW recommends winter tires for use in cold
winter driving conditions. Although all-season
M+S tires provide better winter traction than
summer tires, they generally fail to provide the
same levels of cold-weather performance as
winter tires.

Watch speed

Always observe the maximum permissi-
ble speed for the winter tires, otherwise

tire damage may occur, which can result in acci-
dents.

After changing wheels/tires

After changing tires or wheels, the slip detec-
tion of the Sequential Manual Transmission
must become familiar with the changed state.
Reinitialize the system for this purpose:

Move the selector lever into the idling
position N on a straight stretch of road at a
