Lamps and bulbs

The lamps and bulbs make essential

contributions to the safety of your vehi-

cle. Therefore, comply fully with the fol-

lowing instructions during bulb replace-

ment. If you are not familiar with any of

the procedures, consult your BMW

center.

Do not touch the glass portion of

a new bulb with your bare hands

since even small amounts of impurities

burn in to the surface and reduce the

service life of the bulb. Use a clean

cloth, paper napkin, or a similar mate-

rial, or hold the bulb by its metallic

base.<

A replacement bulb set is available from

your BMW center.

Before working on the electrical

system, switch off the electrical

accessory you are working on or dis-

connect the cable from the negative

terminal of the battery. Failure to

observe this precaution could result in

short circuits.

To prevent injuries and damage, com-

ply with any instructions provided by

the bulb manufacturer.<

bulb is damaged.<

1. Turn the two release catches at the

front to the left – see arrow – to

remove the bulb holder

2. Remove and replace the bulb.

When cleaning the headlamps,

please follow the instructions in

the Caring for your vehicle brochure.<

Xenon lamps*

The service life of these bulbs is very

long and the probability of a failure is

very low, provided that they are not

switched on and off an unusual number

of times. If one of these bulbs should

nevertheless fail, it is possible to con-

tinue driving with great caution using

the fog lamps, provided local traffic

laws do not prohibit this.

Because of the extremely high

voltages involved, any work on the

xenon lighting system, including bulb-

changing, should be carried out by

technically-qualified personnel only.

Otherwise, there is a risk of fatal

injury.<
