3.

Jack the vehicle up until the wheel you are
changing is raised from the ground.

Mounting a wheel

1.

Unscrew the lug bolts and remove the
wheel.

2.

Remove accumulations of mud or dirt from
the mounting surfaces of the wheel and
hub. Also clean the lug bolts.

3.

Position the new wheel or spare wheel.
Secure the wheel by screwing at least two
lug bolts into opposite bolt holes.
When you mount wheels other than Genu-
ine BMW light-alloy wheels, different lug
bolts may also be required.

the bolts securely in a diagonal pattern.

Lower the vehicle and remove the jack from
beneath the vehicle.

After mounting

1.

Tighten the lug bolts in a diagonal pattern.

To ensure safety, always have the
lug bolts checked with a calibrated

torque wrench as soon as possible to
ensure that they are tightened to the speci-
fied torque. The tightening torque is
88.5 lb ft/120 Nm.

Driving with spare wheel

With certain wheel-and-tire combinations
the size of the spare wheel differs from

that of the other wheels. The spare wheel is
equivalent to them in all load and speed ranges.
However, to restore the original state, the nor-
mal wheel should be remounted as soon as
possible.
