Repairing a flat tire with the

M Mobility System

To repair a flat tire, your BMW M3 includes an
M Mobility System. With this system you can
apply a sealant to the inside of the tire to seal
the damaged section, restore the tire inflation
pressure and continue on your trip.

Safety measures in the event of a flat tire:
Park the vehicle as far away from moving

traffic as possible and on a firm surface. Switch
on the hazard warning flashers.
Apply the parking brake and engage first gear
or reverse. Have all occupants leave the vehicle

and move beyond the danger zone, e.g. behind
the guard rails.
If necessary, erect a warning triangle

or warn-

ing flasher

at a suitable distance. Adhere to

country-specific regulations.

Preparations

The M Mobility System is located in the cargo
bay under the floor board.
If possible, leave any foreign bodies that have
penetrated the tire in place.

Instructions on how to use the M Mobility
System can also be found on the device

itself.

Before using the M Mobility System, fol-
low the instructions on the sealant bot-

tle.

Remove the label with the speed restriction
from the sealant bottle and apply it to the steer-
ing wheel.

Please note the expiry date on the sealant
bottle.
