1 Series E81 130i (N52K) 3-door
Note:
On aluminium rims, it is best to use a tyre iron coated (either fully
or partially) with shrink-on plastic tubing to prevent damage.
Let fitting machine run back a short distance (counterclockwise);
tyre bead will slip fully onto mounting finger.
Then let fitting machine run forward in stages (clockwise).
In so doing, always check whether the lower bead is fully resting in
the well and allow the tyre time to move.
If the bead clamps, stop the machine and let it run back slightly.
If the upper bead is pulled off the rim, also lift the bottom bead
over the mounting finger with the tyre iron.
Let machine run back a short distance again and then forward
(clockwise) briefly until there is complete separation of the tyre
from the rim.
Important!
Vehicles with RDC:
Tyre bead must not press onto wheel electronics.
Release lock and tilt back or swing away mounting pillar.
Unclamp and clean rim.
Replace valve.
Coat rim flange and tyre beads with mounting paste (refer to BMW
Parts Service).
Important!
Vehicles with RDC:
When the wheel electronics are installed, the rim must not be
cleaned with high-pressure cleaning equipment.
Visually inspect wheel electronics for external damage and
check for tight fit; do not retighten screw and union nut. If one
of the valve parts is loose, replace the entire valve.
Keep wheel electronics free of tyre mounting paste.
