Remove the wheel cap.
Steel wheel: Grasp one of the hubcap vents and remove it.
Alloy wheel: Remove the hub cap with a screwdriver.
The bolt cap, made in the form of a large hexagonal nut, is removed with a special key (located in the trunk under the spare tire cover) by turning to the left (bayonet connection).
Loosen the wheel bolts.
Place the jack at the closest installation point to the damaged wheel, so that its lower support rests completely on the road. Rotate the jack handle, fix its paw in the designated place under the bottom of the car. Continuing to rotate the handle, lift the car so that the wheel comes off the road.
Warning: The jack is intended for changing a wheel only. To avoid accidents and injuries, never attempt to lift another brand of vehicle or any load with it.
Warning: Do not lie under a vehicle supported only by a jack - this is life-threatening!
Remove the wheel bolts and remove the damaged wheel.
Take the centering pin from the tool kit and insert it into one of the threaded holes (if possible, the top one - this will make it easier to install the wheel).
Place the wheel on the pin and rock it slightly to align the bolt holes. Screw in two wheel bolts, then remove the pin. Screw in the remaining bolts and tighten them by hand (tightening order is "criss-cross").
Lower the vehicle and remove the jack. Tighten the bolts with a wheel wrench in a criss-cross pattern. Tightening torque: 110 Nm. As soon as possible, contact a service station to check the tightening torque of the bolts with a torque wrench.
If a wheel with a new disk is installed (on which, for example, a spare wheel is mounted), it is necessary to check the tightening torque after a run of 1000 km.
When installing non-BMW alloy wheels, you may need to use the wheel bolts supplied with the wheel.
Install the wheel cap by inserting the inflation valve into its hole and using both hands press the cap onto the wheel rim to secure it in place.
A damaged wheel should be taken for repair and balancing as soon as possible.
To repair a wheel, contact only a BMW service station or another certified workshop to be sure of high-quality repairs.
Caution: When installing tubeless tires, for safety reasons, be sure to replace the rubber valve.
