Proceed carefully to the nearest BMW
Service or tyre dealer, or have the car
towed there so that it can be checked
or its wheels and tyres inspected.
All forms of tyre damage, which could in
the worst case lead to sudden and total
loss of pressure, represent a risk of
serious or even fatal injury to the car's
occupants and to all other road users.
<
To maintain the car's good road behav-
iour, always fit tyres of the same make
and tread pattern to all wheels.
Do not use retreaded tyres, as
these could have adverse effects
on the car's safety. They may differ in
internal construction or have aged suffi-
ciently to cast doubt on their durabil-
ity.

Age of tyres
A tyre's date of manufacture is shown
as part of the inscription on the tyre
wall:
DOT 0802 means that the tyre was
manufactured in week 8 of 2002.
BMW recommends tyre replacement
after not more than 6 years, even if
tyres up to 10 years old may still be
suitable.
Safety tyres*
A safety tyre consists of the self-sup-
porting tyre and a special wheel rim.
The tyre is reinforced, so even if it
deflates it remains controllable and the
car is conditionally drivable. The car is
equipped with a tyre pressure monitor-
ing system (RDC), which indicates tyre
deflation.
For further details on the tyre pressure
monitoring system RDC, see page 84.
