001-1 001 Warnings and Cautions PLEASE READ THESE WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS BEFORE PROCEEDING WITH MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR WORK. WARNINGS- See a/so CAUTIONS • Read the important safety notice on the copyright page at the beginning of the book. • Some repairs may be beyond your capability. If you lack the skills, tools and equipment or a suitable workplace for any procedure described in this manual, we suggest you leave such repairs to an authorized BMW dealer service department or other qualified shop. • Thoroughly read each procedure and the WARNINGS and CAUTIONS that accompany the procedure. Also review posted corrections at www. BentleyPublishers. com/updates/ before beginning work. • If any procedure, tightening torque, wear limit, specification or data presented in this manual does not appear to be appropriate for a specific application, contact the publisher or the vehicle manufacturer for clarification before using the information in question. • Do not reuse any fasteners that are worn or deformed. Many fasteners are designed to be used only once and become unreliable and may fail when used a second time. This includes, but is not limited to, nuts, bolts, washers, self-locking nuts or bolts, circlips and cotter pins. Replace these fasteners with new parts. • Do not work under a lifted car unless it is solidly supported on stands designed for the purpose. Do not support a car on cinder blocks, hollow tiles or other props that may crumble under continuous load. Do not work under a car that is supported solely by a jack. Do not work under the car while the engine is running. • If you are going to work under a car on the ground, make sure that the ground is level. Block the wheels to keep the car from rolling. Disconnect the battery negative (-) terminal to prevent others from starting the car while you are under it. • Do not run the engine unless the work area is well ventilated. Carbon monoxide kills. • Remove rings, bracelets and other jewelry so that they cannot cause electrical shorts, get caught in running machinery, or be crushed by heavy parts. • Tie long hair behind your head. Do not wear a necktie, a scarf, loose clothing, or a necklace when you work near machine tools or running engines. If your hair, clothing, or jewelry were to get caught in the machinery, severe injury could result. • Do not attempt to work on your car if you do not feel well. You increase the danger of injury to yourself and others if you are tired, upset or have taken medication or any other substance that may keep you from being fully alert. • Illuminate your work area adequately but safely. Use a portable safety light for working inside or under the car. Make sure the bulb is enclosed by a wire cage. The hot filament of an accidentally broken bulb can ignite spilled fuel, vapors or oil. • Catch draining fuel, oil, or brake fluid in suitable containers. Do not use food or beverage containers that might mislead someone into drinking from them. Store flammable fluids away from fire hazards. Wipe up spills at once, but do not store the oily rags, which can ignite and burn spontaneously. • Observe good workshop practices. Wear goggles when you operate machine tools or work with battery acid. Wear gloves or other protective clothing whenever the job requires working with harmful substances. • Greases, lubricants and other automotive chemicals contain toxic substances, many of which are absorbed directly through the skin. Read the manufacturer's instructions and warnings carefully. Use hand and eye protection. Avoid direct skin contact. • Disconnect the battery negative (- ) terminal whenever you work on the fuel system or the electrical system. Do not smoke or work near heaters or other fire hazards. Keep an approved fire extinguisher handy. • Friction materials (such as brake pads and shoes or clutch discs) contain asbestos fibers or other friction materials. Do not create dust by grinding, sanding, or by cleaning with compressed air. Avoid breathing dust. Breathing any friction material dust can lead to serious diseases and may result in death. • Batteries give off explosive hydrogen gas during charging. Keep sparks, lighted matches and open flame away from the top of the battery. If hydrogen gas escaping from the cap vents is ignited, it may ignite gas trapped in the cells and cause the battery to explode. • The air-conditioning system is filled with chemical refrigerant, which is hazardous. Make sure the system is serviced only by a trained technician using approved refrigerant recovery/recycling equipment, trained in related safety precautions, and familiar with regulations governing the discharge and disposal of automotive chemical refrigerants.

001-2 Warnings and Cautions WARNINGS (continued) • Do not expose any part of the AIC system to high temperatures such as open flame. Excessive heat increases system pressure and may cause the system to burst. • Some aerosol tire inflators are highly flammable. Be extremely cautious when repairing a tire that may have been inflated using an aerosol tire inflator. Keep sparks, open flame or other sources of ignition away from the tire repair area. Inflate and deflate the tire at least four times before breaking the bead from the rim. Completely remove the tire from the rim before attempting any repair. • Cars covered by this manual are equipped with a supplemental restraint system (SRS) that automatically deploys airbags and pyrotechnic seat belt tensioners in case of a frontal or side impact. These are explosive devices. Handled improperly or without adequate safeguards, they can be accidently activated and cause serious injury. • The ignition system produces high voltages that can be fatal. Avoid contact with exposed terminals and use extreme care when working on a car with the engine running or the ignition switched ON . • Place jack stands only at locations specified by the manufacturer. The vehicle lifting jack supplied with the vehicle is intended for tire changes only. Use a heavy duty floor jack to lift vehicle before installing jack stands. See 020 Maintenance. • Battery acid (electrolyte) can cause severe burns. Flush contact area with water, then seek medical attention. • Aerosol cleaners and solvents may contain hazardous or deadly vapors and are highly flammable. Use only in a well ventilated area. Do not use on hot surfaces (engines, brakes, etc.). • Due to risk of personal injury, be sure the engine is cold before beginning work on the cooling system. CAUTIONS- Seea/soWARNINGS • If you lack the skills, tools and equipment, or a suitable workshop for any procedure described in this manual, leave such repairs to an authorized BMW dealer or other qualified shop. • BMW is constantly improving its cars and sometimes these changes, both in parts and specifications, are made applicable to earlier models. Any part numbers listed in this manual are for reference only. Check with your authorized BMW dealer parts department for the latest information. • Before starting a job, make certain that you have the necessary tools and parts on hand. Read all the instructions thoroughly, and do not attempt shortcuts. Use tools appropriate to the work and use only replacement parts meeting BMW specifications. • Use pneumatic and electric tools only to loosen threaded parts and fasteners. Do not use these tools to tighten fasteners, especially on light alloy parts. Use a torque wrench to tighten fasteners to the tightening torque specification listed. • Be mindful of the environment and ecology. Before you drain the crankcase, find out the proper way to dispose of the oil. Do not pour oil onto the ground, down a drain, or into a stream, pond or lake. Dispose of waste in accordance with federal, state and local laws. • The control module for the anti-lock brake system (ABS) cannot withstand temperatures from a paint-drying booth or a heat lamp in excess of 203°F (95°C). Do not subject to temperatures in excess of 185°F (85°C) for more than two hours. • Before doing any electrical welding on cars equipped with ABS, disconnect the battery negative (-)terminal (ground strap) and the ABS control module connector. • Make sure ignition is switched OFF before disconnecting battery. • Label battery cables before disconnecting. On some models, battery cables are not color coded. • Disconnecting the battery may erase fault code(s) stored in control module memory. Using special BMW diagnostic equipment, check for fault codes prior to disconnecting the battery cables. If the malfunction indicator light (MIL) is illuminated, see OBD On-Board Diagnostics at the back of this manual. (This light may be identified as the Check Engine light or the Service Engine Soon light.) If any other system faults are detected (indicated by an illuminated warning light), see an authorized BMW dealer. • If a normal or rapid charger is used to charge battery, disconnect the battery remove it from the vehicle in order to avoid damaging the vehicle. • Do not quick-charge the battery (for boost starting) for longer than one minute. Wait at least one minute before boosting the battery a second time. • Connect and disconnect a battery charger only with the battery charger switched OFF. • Sealed or "maintenance free" batteries should be slow-charged only, at an amperage rate that is approximately 10% of the battery's ampere-hour (Ah) rating. • Do not allow battery charging voltage to exceed 16.5 volts. If the battery begins producing gas or boiling violently, reduce the charging rate. Boosting a sulfated battery at a high charging rate can cause an explosion. • Do not use steel fasteners on engine components made of aluminum-magnesium alloy. Use aluminum fasteners only. Test fasteners for aluminum composition with magnet. • Replace aluminum bolts each time they are loosened. Follow torque instructions, including angle of rotation specifications, when installing aluminum fasteners. Bentley Publishers.co'TI BentleyPublishers.com-AII Rights Reserved

002-1 002 Vehicle Identification and ~---V_I_N_D_e_c_o_d_e_r __________________ ~~ Some of the information in this manual applies only to cars of a particular model year or range of years. For example, 2006 refers to the 2006 model year but does not necessarily match the calendar year in which the car was manufactured or sold . To be sure of the model year of a particular car, check the vehicle identification number (VIN) on the car. The VIN is a unique sequence of 17 characters assigned by BMW to identify each individual car. When decoded, the VIN tells the country and year of manufacture; make, model and serial number; assembly plant and even some equipment specifications. The BMW VIN is on a plate mounted on the top of the dashboard, on the driver's side where the number can be seen through the windshield. The 1Oth character is the model year code: 6 for 2006, 7 for 2007, 8 for 2008, 9 for 2009, and A for 2010. The table below explains some of the codes in the VIN for 2006 through 2010 BMW E90, E91 , E92, and E93 3 Series covered by this manual.

003-2 Symptoms and Field Observations 0 G,ENERAL DATA AND MAINTENANCE Topic Notes Exiting a vehicle that is double-locked Do not lock a vehicle from outside the car with someone inside the from the outside car. Service Engine Soon or Check Gas Cap warning Is illuminated: faulty gas cap or software error (to 09/2008) Cabin filters, changing In the unlikely event that someone gets double-locked inside the car, the person inside the car can exit the vehicle using the following 2- step procedure: • Press central unlock button to disable "double-lock". • Pull door handle twice to open door. NOTE- • For vehicles with factory alarm, opening door activates alarm. DME has stored faults for a small leak, microleak, super fine leak, or large leak in the tank ventilation or evaporative system. • Remove the fuel cap and inspect cap seal for damage (torn, worn or curling seal). If any damage is detected, replace cap. Be sure cap is properly tightened down. • If no cap faults can be found and fault returns, additional DMTL system diagnosis is required (e.g. run DMTL test plan using the BMW diagnostic scan tool). NOTE- • On vehicles produced from July 1st, 2006 up to September 30th, 2008 with the following stored faults: 2A 15 - DMTL minor leak, leak greater than 1. 0 mm or 2A 16 - DMTL microleak, leak greater than 0.5 mm, there may be a software error for the tank leak diagnostic system. If these faults are present, be sure the software level (/-level vehicle data status) is up to date. When servicing fresh air (cabin) micro filter, be sure to reinstall the filter lid correctly. Incorrect installation can result in premature blower motor failure due to water intrusion. • Check that gap (A) between upper microfilter housing and cowl is no more than 1 em (0 .40 in). Remove and reposition housing as necessary to reduce gap. Additional Information (when available) OBD 020 Bentley Publishers corr BentleyPublishers.com-AII R1ghts Reserved

Symptoms and Field Observations 003-3 0 GENERAL DATA AND MAINTENANCE (CONTINUED) Additional I Topic Engine oil, topping up Replacing spark plugs, service tip (N52/ N51 engines) Special tool for spark plug removal (N54 engine) Notes Oil residue may collect on the cylinder head cover near the oil filler cap a few days after topping up or refilling the engine oil. When oil is added, the filler cap is laid partially upside down. In this position, engine oil seeps into the area of the oil cap that is not sealed by the gasket. When the cap is reinstalled, the oil leaks from the unsealed area onto the cylinder head cover surface. If investigating an oil leak in this area, confirm that it is not oil from the cap. When servicing spark plugs, a standard socket may fit too tightly into the spark plug bore in the cylinder head. If this is the case, remove the heat shield inside plug hole (arrow) before servicing spark plugs. A 12-point Bosch spark plug with 12 mm threads is used in the N54 (turbocharged) engine. Removal and installation requires a thin- wall socket (BMW special tool part no. 83 30 0 495 560), owing to the confined area of the N54 cylinder head.
