Check tire pressures
On the next page you will find all the tire
pressure specifications, for tires at
ambient air temperature, stated in the
units usually used in your country (psi;
kilopascal).
After correcting the tire inflation pres-
sure, re-initialize the Tire Pressure
Warning system (RDW) so that it can
monitor the tire inflation pressure, refer
to page 78.
Check tire inflation pressures
regularly – at least every two
weeks and before beginning a longer

Incorrect tire pressure can otherwise
lead to driving instability, tire damage
and accidents.<

specifications
The inflation pressures in the table
apply to tires made by BMW-approved
manufacturers. Your BMW center is
familiar with these pressures. Higher
pressures may be specified for tires
from other manufacturers. You will find
a list of approved tire sizes on
page 116.
Your vehicle is equipped with tires that
not only meet US standards, but also
European standards. We recommend
the exclusive use of BMW-approved
tires.
