Replacing components
Onboard tool kit
The onboard tool kit is located in the luggage
compartment under the floor mat.
Wiper blade replacement
1. Fold the wiper arm out and grasp it firmly.
2. Press the locking tabs together while slid-
ing the wiper blade toward the front to dis-
engage it.
3. Insert the new wiper blade and slide it in
until it audibly clicks into place.
Lamps and bulbs
Lamps and bulbs make an essential contribu-
tion to driving safety. You must be duly diligent
in replacing them. If you are not familiar with the
specified procedures, have the corresponding
work carried out at your BMW center.
Never touch the glass on 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 cloth, napkin, etc., or hold the bulb by its
metal socket.
<
You can obtain a selection of replacement bulbs
at your BMW center.
Whenever you perform any work on the
electrical system, turn off the electrical
devices involved to prevent short circuits from
occurring.
To avoid possible injury or equipment damage
when replacing bulbs, follow any instructions
provided by the bulb manufacturer.
<
When performing maintenance on the head-
lamps, follow the instructions in the separate
Caring for your vehicle brochure.
In the case of bulbs whose replacement
is not described, please consult your
BMW center. <
Xenon lamps
The service life of these lamps is very long and
the probability of a failure is very low, provided
that they are not switched on and off an unusual
number of times. In the unlikely event that one
of these lamps should fail, you can continue
driving under poor visibility conditions by
switching on your fog lamps and proceeding
carefully, where allowed by law.
Have work on the xenon lighting system,
including bulb changes, carried out only
by a BMW center. Due to the high voltage
involved, there is a danger to life and limb when
work is carried out improperly.
<
For checking and adjusting headlamp
aim, please contact your BMW center.
