Wheel changing procedure:
1 Take off the wheel stud cover by
applying the hexagon adapter and
stud wrench to it and turning to the
left. For thiefproof wheel studs,
see Page 105.
2 Slacken the wheel studs by half a
turn.
3 Press in and remove the jack
attachment socket cover at the
appropiate point of the car (arrow).
4 Insert the jack fully into the socket
and position it so that the base is
resting firmly on the road.
5 Raise the car's body with the jack
until the wheel to be changed is
clear of the road.
aUse the jack only for wheel
changing. Never attempt to lift another
type of car or any other heavy object
with it, as this could lead to accidents
and personal injury.
Do not lie under a jacked-up car – a
very severe or fatal injury could
result.c
6 Take out the wheel studs and
remove the wheel.
7 Insert the centering pin from the
car's toolkit into one of the
threaded holes, with the plastic
cap in position on it.
8 Offer up the new wheel, insert at
least two of the studs at opposite
points and take out the centering
pin.
For light alloy wheels with turbine
styling or with a directional turbine-
style cover, please note:
These wheels or covers are asym-
metric, and therefore intended to
rotate in one direction only. The spare
wheel matches the wheels on the
right of the car; the spare wheel for
the BMW 850CSi does not have a
cover.
The wheel illustrated is on the left of
the car.
If a puncture has occurred, the BMW
850Ci's spare wheel can also be fitted
on the left of the car, but a wheel
which rotates in the intended direction
should be fitted instead as soon as
possible.
