Refueling Refueling Always switch off the engine before refueling, otherwise, fuel cannot be added to the tank and a message will be displayed.< Coupe Take all precautionary measures and observe all applicable regulations when handling fuel. Do not carry any spare fuel containers in your vehicle. They can develop a leak and cause an explosion or cause a fire in the event of an accident.< Gas cap 1. Remove the cover from the right-hand sidewall of the cargo bay. Opening 2.
Refuel as soon as possible once your cruising range falls below 30 miles/ 50 km, otherwise engine functions are not ensured and damage can occur.< Fuel specifications Do not fill the tank with leaded fuel, as this would cause permanent damage to the catalytic converter. Do not fill the tank with E85, i.e. fuel containing 85% ethanol, nor with FlexFuel. Otherwise the engine and fuel supply system will be damaged.
Wheels and tires Wheels and tires Tire inflation pressures Information for your safety It is not merely the tires' service life, but also driving comfort and, to a great extent, driving safety that depend on the condition of the tires and the maintenance of the specified tire pressure. Check the tire inflation pressure regularly and correct it, if necessary: at least twice a month and before starting long trips.

Tread wear Traction AA A B C Temperature A B C Speed code letter The tread wear grade is a comparative rating based on the wear rate of the tire when tested under controlled conditions on a specified government test course. For example, a tire graded 150 would wear one and one-half (1γ) times as well on the government course as a tire graded 100.
Wheels and tires heat when tested under controlled conditions on a specified indoor laboratory test wheel. Sustained high temperature can cause the material of the tire to degenerate and reduce tire life, and excessive temperature can lead to sudden tire failure. The grade C corresponds to a level of performance which all passenger car tires must meet under the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 109.
For information on continuing to drive with a flat tire, refer to Indication of a flat tire, page 93. New wheels and tires Have new wheels and tires installed only by your BMW center or tire shop that works according to BMW repair procedures with correspondingly trained personnel. If this work is not carried out properly, there is a danger of subsequent damage and related safety hazards. Make sure that the new wheels are balanced.
