Tire inflation pressure
Information for your safety
It is not merely the tire's service life, but also
driving safety and driving comfort that largely
depend on the condition of the tires and the
maintenance of the specified tire pressure.
Checking tire pressures
Check the tire inflation pressures only when the
tires are cold. This means after a maximum driv-
ing distance of 1.25 miles/2 km or if the vehicle
has been parked for at least 2 hours. Warm tires
have higher inflation pressures.
Check tire inflation pressures regularly
and correct them if necessary: at least
every two weeks and before every extended
journey. Otherwise, incorrect tire pressures can
cause driving instability or tire damage, ulti-
mately resulting in accidents.

Reinitialize the Flat Tire Monitor after cor-
recting the tire inflation pressure. Refer to
page 52 . <
Inflation pressures for original tires
The specified inflation pressures for tires at
ambient temperature are provided on the plac-
ard on the B-pillar and are visible when the
driver's door is open.
Inflation pressures for other tire sizes
The following tire inflation pressure tables show
the inflation pressures for the specified tire
sizes at ambient temperature.
To determine the correct tire inflation
pressure for your tires, observe the pres-
sures listed for the relevant tire sizes. <
Tire size
The inflation pressures in the table apply to
BMW-approved tire sizes and recommended
