Refueling Fuel specification
To unlock the filler door in the event of a
central locking system failure, refer to
page .152
aWhen handling fuel, comply with
the safety regulations displayed by gas
stations.c
Unleaded gasoline only.
Minimum octane requirement: 89 AKI
BMW engines are equipped with knock
sensors and automatically adapt to op-
erate with fuels of different octane rat-
ings, as long as the minimum octane
requirement is met.
Higher octane fuels will provide in-
creased performance and fuel econ-
omy, while the use of gasoline with a
lower octane rating will have an adverse
effect.
aNever use leaded fuel, as it would
cause permanent damage to both the
catalytic converter and the engine-man-
agement system’s oxygen sensors.c
AKI = Anti Knock Index

Tire inflation pressures
If the driver's door is open, the infla-
tion pressures are also visible on the
door pillar. Inflation pressures are
indicated in psi (bar) with tires cold
(ambient temperature).
The inflation pressures apply to tires
from BMW-approved manufacturers;
your BMW Retailer will provide you
with this information. Higher pres-
sures may be required for tires from
other manufacturers.
aPeriodically check the inflation
pressure – also of the spare tire – at
least twice each month and before
setting out on an extended trip. Failing
this, incorrect tire pressure may ren-
der the car unstable or cause tire
damage resulting in an accident.c

1 Master key with battery-powered
lamp (switch on by pressing the BMW
symbol).
2 Master key without lamp.
3 Spare key to be kept in a safe place
e.g. in your wallet. This key is not
intended for continuous use.
4 Door and ignition key
This key does not operate the locks
for the glove compartment and the
luggage compartment. This is useful
e.g. at a hotel.
The electronic vehicle immobilization
unit increases the anti-theft protection
of your BMW – without additional
adjustment or activation of systems.
This electronic immobilization system is
designed to reduce the susceptibility of
the vehicle to theft by making it impos-
sible to start the engine using any
means other than the special keys fur-
nished with the vehicle.
The system features an electronic chip
integrated within the key as a supple-
ment to the conventional mechanical
locking system.
The lock mechanism itself is actually a
dual-function device, simultaneously
serving as a communications interface
designed to allow the car security sys-
tem to maintain a continuous stream of
variable, vehicle-specific signals with
the electronic circuitry in the key. The
ignition, the flow of fuel and the starter
are enabled only after the key has been
recognized as "authorized".
bExternal force can damage the
electronic circuitry integrated in the key.
Such a key can no longer be used to
start the engine.c
Replacement of a key
Replacement keys are available exclu-
sively through your authorized BMW
Retailer, who is also under obligation to
request verification of vehicle owner-
ship before issuing a substitute key.
Your BMW Retailer can also cancel or
restore the electronic system authoriza-
tion for individual keys (e.g., if a key is
lost). A deactivated key can no longer
be used to start the engine.
For US owners only
The transmitter and receiver units com-
ply with Part 15 of the FCC (Federal
Communication Commission) Regula-
tions. Operation is governed by the fol-
lowing:
FCC ID: LXBEWS
As defined in the regulations, such a
device is not to emit significant interfer-
ence and must also be shielded against
interference from external sources to
prevent unauthorized or inadvertent
activation.
aAny unauthorized modifications
or changes to these devices could void
the user’s authority to operate this
equipment.c

Operating central locking system
from outside the vehicle
When the front doors are closed, the
activation of a door lock or of the lug-
gage compartment lock with a key
unlocks or locks the following:
dDoors
dLuggage compartment
dFuel filler door
dBMW Convertible: the glove com-
partment.
The double-lock system is engaged at
the same time. Both the door locks and
release handles remain locked.
aNever use the keys or the remote
control* to lock an occupied vehicle, as
it would then be impossible to unlock it
from inside.c
Convenience closing* for power win-
dows and sliding/tilt sunroof: after clos-
ing the doors, hold the key in the lock
position to close the windows and slid-
ing/tilt sunroof. The windows/sunroof
stop moving immediately when you
release the key. To be able to keep the
closing system in view, convenience
closing can only be activated via the
driver's door lock for safety reasons,
even on vehicles with remote control.
Emergency lock operation
(in the event of electrical failure)
Turn the key to the end positions of the
door lock to unlock/lock the respective
door.
Activating the central locking
system from inside the vehicle
Pressing the lock button of a front door
unlocks/locks the doors and luggage
compartment, but does not arm the
alarm system.
bIf the vehicle is locked from the
inside with this lock button, the fuel
filler door remains unlocked to allow
refueling. On the BMW Convertible, the
glove compartment also remains un-
locked to allow for its use.
It is also possible to unlock the car from
the inside by pulling on one of the front
door handles.c
To preclude accidental locking of the
vehicle
dit can not be locked with the lock
button when the driver's door is open
dthe safety button of the passenger
door activates the central locking
system only when both front doors
are locked.

aChildren can lock the doors from
inside. Therefore, you should always
remove the key and take it with you to
ensure that you can unlock the car from
the outside at all times.c
In an accident, the central locking sys-
tem automatically unlocks the doors
and the interior lamps switch on.
Depending on the version, the hazard
warning flashers are also activated.
aAvoid using the inside lock buttons
to lock the rear doors while driving, as
these doors would then fail to unlock au-
tomatically in the event of an accident.c
Opening doors from the inside
Pull interior door handle of a front door
twice in succession (the initial pull
unlocks the door, the second opens it).
Central locking system button
This button operates the central locking
system when the driver’s door is
closed. It unlocks the doors and lug-
gage compartment, but does not arm
the alarm system.
The fuel filler door remains unlocked to
allow refueling.
The picture shows, as an example, the
shift arrangement for the BMW sedan.
Opening doors from the outside
Lift the handle.
Automatic window lowering
(BMW Coupe, Convertible)
aThe door windows are lowered
somewhat when the doors are opened
and then are raised again immediately
after the doors are locked. This makes it
easier to open the doors, prevents the
rubber door seals from being damaged
and ensures proper seating of the
windows in the rubber door seals after
closing.c
Driver's door lock heating*
Lift the handle of the driver's door for
approx. 3 seconds: the heating
switches on. The switch-on time is
automatically controlled to save power.

The luggage compartment lid is locked
and disconnected from the central lock-
ing system. The luggage compartment
lid then remains locked when the cen-
tral locking system is unlocked with a

ing/tilt sunroof
dMaximize the air volume of the air
conditioning, refer to page 88.c
Luggage straps
Attach the straps to the floor of the lug-
gage compartment to secure smaller
suitcases.
The luggage straps prevent objects
placed on them from slipping.
The fittings at the corners of the lug-
gage compartment provide you with a
convenient means of attaching luggage
nets * and flexible straps for securing
suitcases and luggage.

Fully automatic convertible top
operation*
The fully automatic convertible top per-
fectly combines extremely simple, com-
fortable operation with reliable protec-
tion from the elements. Here are a few
tips to ensure that you have years of
pleasure with your convertible:
It is advisable to close the top when the
vehicle is parked. The closed top not
only protects the passenger compart-
ment from unforeseen weather-related
damage, it also provides a certain
degree of theft protection. Even with
the top closed, it is always advisable to
keep valuables locked in the luggage
compartment.
Do not mount roof racks on the convert-
ible top. Please contact your BMW
Retailer for suitable mounting equip-
ment and other accessories.
To prevent damage, do not operate the
top at temperatures below 32 F (056).
To protect the battery, it is advisable to
operate the top with the engine running
when possible.

bThe luggage compartment can not
be opened during convertible top oper-
ation.
The side windows move down slightly
when the convertible top operating but-
ton is pressed; if you continue to press
the button after the indicator lamp goes
out, they move up again as soon as the
opening process is completed.c
aThe side windows must be low-
ered slightly during convertible top op-
eration. If the convertible top operation
is interrupted, do not close the side win-
dows with the power window switches.
If the opening or closing process is in-
terrupted, it may not be possible to open
the luggage compartment.
To prevent damage from continuous
dampness, never fold down the convert-
ible top when wet.c
Convenience closing with the
driver's door lock
Hold the key in the "lock" position with
the door closed.
The windows/sunroof stop moving
immediately when you release the key.
bAt higher speeds, low air pressure
in the passenger compartment can
cause the convertible top or the rear
window to begin to flutter. Increase the
air intake via the ventilation control to
prevent low pressure from resulting in
the passenger compartment.c
Closing convertible top manually
when electrical operation fails
bManual closing is best carried out
from outside the vehicle with the driver's
door open and the driver's seat folded
forward. The rear seat bench must not
be occupied while doing so.c
1 Raise the left rear seat. Pull out the
strap until resistance is felt. Now con-
tinue to pull rmly (two audible clicks)
to disengage the drives for the con-
vertible top and convertible top com-
partment lid.

2 Open the convertible top compart-
ment lid up to the stop with the lug-
gage compartment closed.
3 Grasp the convertible top on the lat-
eral guide section and on the front
soft-top frame and lift it out (arrow).

vertically and close the convertible
top compartment lid. Now fold down

4 Place a screwdriver at the middle of
the cover on the front convertible top
frame, and pry it out of its recess.
5 Using the doubly bent allen key from
the onboard tool kit, place it in the
internal hexagon (arrrow).
6 The closing process is continued by
turning to the left; turn until the front
convertible top frame is locked to the
windshield frame. The rear convertible
top frame is automatically pressed
onto the convertible top compartment
lid and closes watertight under ten-
sion.
To eliminate the malfunction and re-
engage the drives, please see your
BMW Retailer.
aNever open the convertible top
manually in case of an electrical mal-
function. The convertible top compart-
ment lid can not be locked and would
open during driving.c

aHead restraints reduce the risk of
neck injuries. Always position the head
restraint so that it is centered roughly at
ear level.
Never try to adjust your seat while oper-
ating the vehicle. The seat could re-
spond by moving in a way that you had
not anticipated, causing you to lose
control of the vehicle which could lead
to an accident. The front passenger
should not move the backrest into the
"reclined" position during driving.
While driving, both the driver and the
front passenger should keep the back-
rest relatively upright. Otherwise there is
a danger of the occupants "sliding
through" the belt in the event of an acci-
dent, thus considerably reducing the
protective effect of the belt (see also
safety precautions in the "Safety belts"
section, page ).47 c
