After changing wheels/tires After changing tires or wheels, the slip detection of the Sequential Manual Transmission must become familiar with the changed state. Reinitialize the system for this purpose: 1. Move the selector lever into the idling position N on a straight stretch of road at a speed between 20 mph/30 km/h and 90 mph/150 km/h. 2. Pull both shift paddles for approx. 2 seconds. If you do not carry out initialization, the system will automatically learn the changed state gradually during driving. This may be noticeable from the clutch opening and closing briefly. Make sure that the snow chains are always sufficiently tensioned. Readjust tension in accordance with the chain manufacturer's specifications if necessary. Do not initialize the Flat Tire Monitor after installing snow chains as this could cause the Flat Tire Monitor to malfunction. After mounting or removing snow chains, the slip detection of the Sequential Manual Transmission must become familiar with the altered state. To do this, reinitialize the system, refer to After changing wheels/tires.< Storage Store wheels and tires in a cool, dry place with as little exposure to light as possible. Always protect tires against all contact with oil, grease and fuels. Do not exceed the maximum tire inflation pressure indicated on the side wall of the tire. BMW does not recommend moving the front wheels to the rear or vice versa, as otherwise the handling characteristics may be impaired. With tires of different makes and types* such a change is not permissible. Snow chains* BMW only tests certain fine-link snow chains, classifies them as road-safe and recommends them. Consult your BMW center for more information. Use is only permitted in pairs, with winter tires of the size 245/45 R 18 on the rear wheels. Observe the manufacturer's instructions when mounting snow chains. Do not exceed a speed of 30 mph/50 km/h with the chains mounted. 207 Online Edition for Part no. 01 41 0 014 244 - © 08/07 BMW AG Reference Mobility Communications Entertainment Rotating wheels between axles Navigation Driving tips Controls At a glance
