Changing wheels

Your BMW is equipped with Run-Flat Tires as
standard. This removes the need to change a
wheel immediately in the event of a puncture.
Online Edition for Part no. 01 41 0 014 254 - © 08/07 BMW AG
For information on continuing to drive with a
damaged tire, refer to Indication of a flat tire on
page 90.
The symbol identifying Run-Flat Tires is a circle
with the letters RSC on the sidewall, refer to
Run-Flat Tires, page 219.
When mounting new tires or changing over
from summer to winter tires and vice versa,
mount Run-Flat Tires for your own safety. In the
event of a flat, no spare wheel is available. Your
BMW center will be glad to advise you. Refer
also to New wheels and tires, page 219.
The tools for changing wheels are avail-
able as optional accessories from your
BMW center.<
