Repairing paintwork damage

Immediately repair scratches or similar

damage, such as that caused by stones

hitting the vehicle, where necessary to prevent

rusting.<

BMW recommends having paintwork damage

repaired by a professional paint repair work-

shop according to BMW specifications using

original BMW paint materials.

Preservation

A preservation treatment is necessary when

water no longer beads off of the clean paintwork

surface. Only use products for paintwork pres-

ervation that contain carnauba or synthetic

waxes.

Rubber seals

Treat only with water or rubber care products.

Do not use silicon-containing care prod-

ucts on rubber seals, otherwise noise and

damage could occur.<

Chrome parts

Carefully clean vehicle parts, such as the radia-

tor grill, door handles or window frames, with

copious quantities of water and a shampoo

additive. For additional treatment, use a chrome

polish.

Light-alloy wheels

For technical reasons, dust is generated during

braking that is deposited on the light-alloy

wheels. Remove the dust regularly using acid-

free rim cleaner.

Do not use aggressive, acidic, strongly

alkaline and abrasive cleaning agents or

steam jets over 1407/606, otherwise dam-

age may occur.<

Outside sensors / cameras

Keep the sensors and cameras on the

outside of the vehicle, e.g. those of Park

Distance Control, clean and free of ice to ensure

that they remain fully functional.<

Interior care

Upholstery / cloth trim

Vacuum regularly with a vacuum cleaner to

remove superficial dirt.

To treat severe stains, e.g. from beverages, use

a soft sponge or lint-free microfiber cloth in

combination with suitable interior cleaners. Fol-

low the instructions on the packaging.

Clean the upholstery down to the seams

using a sweeping motion. Avoid strong

rubbing.<

Opened Velcro fasteners on pants or

other articles of clothing can damage the

seat covers. Ensure that Velcro fasteners are

closed.<

Leather / leather trim

The leather used by BMW is a high quality

natural product. Slight irregularities in the

leather are a typical characteristic of natural

leather.<

Dust and road grit in the pores and folds of the

leather have an abrasive effect, leading to

increased wear and causing the leather surface

to become brittle prematurely. Therefore, fre-

quently clean the leather of dust using a cloth or

vacuum cleaner.

In particular, ensure that light-colored leather is

cleaned regularly as it has a tendency to soil

more easily.

Treat the leather twice a year using a leather

lotion as dirt and grease will gradually attack the

leather's protective layer.

Carpets / cargo bay

You can vacuum the carpets and floor mats or

clean them with interior cleaner if heavily soiled.

The floor mats can be removed for cleaning.

When replacing the mats, ensure that the seat

rails do not extend over the floor mats, as this

may damage the mats.

Lint on the floor mats occurs for technical rea-

sons and can be removed by vacuuming

repeatedly.
