Replacing components

Onboard tool kit

The onboard tool kit is stored in a compartment
on the right-hand side of the cargo bay.
Remove the cover.

Wiper blades

Fold up the wiper arm.

Remove the cover. To do so, press the hook
on the bottom, see arrow.

Fold the wiper blade upwards.

Remove the wiper blade in the direction of
the windshield, see arrow.

In order to avoid damage, make sure that
the wiper arms are against the windshield

Lamps and bulbs

Lamps and bulbs make an essential contribu-
tion to vehicle safety. They should, therefore,
be handled carefully. BMW recommends hav-
ing your BMW center perform any work that you
do not feel competent to perform yourself or
that is not described here.

Never touch the glass of new bulbs with
your bare fingers, as even minute

amounts of contamination will burn into the
bulb's surface and reduce its service life. Use a
clean tissue, cloth or something similar, or hold
the bulb by its base.

You can obtain a selection of replacement bulbs
at your BMW center.

Only change bulbs while they are cool to
the touch, otherwise you could suffer

burns.

When working on electrical systems,
always begin by switching off the con-

sumer in question, otherwise short-circuits
could result. To avoid possible injury or equip-
ment damage when replacing bulbs, observe
any instructions provided by the bulb manufac-
turer.

For care and maintenance of the headlamps,
please follow the instructions in the separate
Caring for your vehicle brochure.

If the routine for changing a particular
bulb is not described here, please contact

your BMW center or a workshop that works
according to BMW repair procedures with cor-
respondingly trained personnel.
