Tire repair with the M Mobility system

Precautions in case of a flat tire:
Stop the vehicle as far as possible

from passing traffic and position it on a
firm surface. Turn on the hazard warn-
ing flashers.
Turn the steering wheel to the straight-
ahead position and engage the steering
lock. Engage the parking brake and
shift into 1st or reverse gear.
All passengers should be outside the
vehicle and well away from your imme-
diate working area – behind a guardrail,
for instance.
If necessary, set up your warning trian-
gle or portable hazard warning lamp on
the roadside at an appropriate distance
from the rear of the vehicle. Comply
with all safety guidelines and regula-
tions.

You will find an M Mobility system in the
BMW M3 Convertible for repairing flat
tires. With this system you can apply a
sealant to the inside of the tire, thus
seal off the damaged point, then rein-
flate the tire and continue driving.

Preparing to repair a tire

The M Mobility system is located in the
luggage compartment under the floor
panel.

If possible, leave the foreign object in
the tire.

You will find corresponding
instructions for using the

M Mobility system on the device.

Before using the M Mobility sys-
tem, read the warnings on the

sealant bottle.

Pull the sticker showing the speed limit
from the sealant bottle and stick it onto
the steering wheel.

Please observe the expiration
date on the sealant bottle.
