Battery Care
If your car is driven only for short distances of
less than 10 miles over a prolonged period of
time, without an occasional drive at highway
speeds, the engine's charging system will not
maintain the battery. Insufficient use of the
vehicle could result in short term starting
problems and in the long term could damage the
battery.
In case the car is not operated for several weeks
it is advisable to:
consider using a proper trickle charger,
following the charger manufacturer's
instructions to maintain the battery's state of
charge; or
consult your authorized BMW center regarding
battery removal. Once removed, the battery
must be charged and stored in a cool, dry
place where it can be protected from freezing.
If the battery will be stored for over 3 months, it
must be recharged every 3 months, or else it
will become damaged and useless.
Please consult with your authorized BMW center
for further guidance and information.
Corrosion Protection
Extensive corrosion protection measures
implemented by BMW now make it possible to
offer a 12-year unlimited mileage anti-corrosion
warranty against rust perforation on your vehicle
provided that the vehicle is properly maintained.
Information on proper maintenance is available in
this Booklet and your vehicle's Owner's Manual.
The major degree of corrosion protection is due
to the electrophoretic dip painting process which
cathodically deposits paint particles on all body
parts, attracting paint particles into the minutest
cavities or seams. Body parts are designed to
provide optimum corrosion protection.
