5 Series E61 523i (N52) TOUR
The arrow on the tyre must point in the direction of travel for
each wheel!
Models with M Mobility system
If the wheel was inflated with the M Mobility system after a
puncture, observe the following: Before removal, drill a hole of
approx. 25 mm dia. in the tyre sidewall. Drain sealing compound
from this hole and dispose of this compound in an environmentally
responsible manner. Clean the disc wheel after removing the tyre.
Tyre removal with a fitting machine:
Unscrew valve insert, discharge air, force off tyre bead from rim
flange with pressing-off horn of device on outside and inside.
If tyre beads are stuck, first release the tyre with the pressing-off
horn at several points of the wheel before actually pressing off,
apply tyre mounting paste between tyre and rim flange and press
off the tyres completely.
Pull off balance weights on rim and clean rim to remove large
pieces of dirt.
Clamp wheel on mounting machine.
Narrow rim shoulder always faces upwards.
Important!
Vehicles with RDC:
To prevent the pressing-off horn from damaging the RDC
wheel electronics, do not rest the pressing-off horn on both
rim sides in the area of the valve.
Swing or fold mounting pillar into position and let it engage.
Adjust mounting head, pressing it on the rim edge fully, and turn
down the lever for the clamp; normally the distance of the
mounting head will set in automatically.
The valve must be approx. 15 cm to the right of the assembly
head so as to prevent the tyre iron from damaging the RDC wheel
electronics.
Raise tyre bead with tyre iron over mounting finger.
