BMW 7 Series: Changing wheels/tires- Jacking up the vehicle

Warning

Hands and fingers can be jammed when using the vehicle jack. There is a risk of injury. Comply with the described hand position and do not change this position while using the vehicle jack.

  1. Hold the vehicle jack with one hand, arrow 1, and grasp the vehicle jack crank or lever with your other hand, arrow 2.

Jacking up the vehicle


  1. Insert the vehicle jack into the rectangular recess of the jacking point closest to the wheel to be changed.

Jacking up the vehicle


  1. Extend the vehicle jack by turning the vehicle jack crank or lever clockwise.

Jacking up the vehicle

Jacking up the vehicle


  1. Crank the vehicle up, until the vehicle jack is with the entire surface on the ground and the relevant wheel is maximum 1.2 inches/3 cm above ground.

Mounting a wheel

Mount one emergency wheel only, as required.

  1. Unscrew the lug bolts.
  2. Remove the wheel.
  3.  Put the new wheel or emergency wheel on and screw in at least two lug bolts in a crosswise pattern until hand-tight.

    When non-original light-alloy wheels of the vehicle manufacturer are mounted, the accompanying lug bolts may have to be used as well.

  4. Hand-tighten the remaining lug bolts and tighten all lug bolts well in a crosswise pattern.
  5.  Turn the vehicle jack crank counterclockwise to retract the vehicle jack and lower the vehicle.
  6.  Remove the vehicle jack and stow it securely.

After the wheel change

  1. Tighten the lug bolts crosswise. The tightening torque is 101 lbs ft/140 Nm.
  2. Stow the nonworking wheel in the cargo area, if necessary.

    The nonworking wheel cannot be stored under the cargo floor panel because of its size.

  3. Check tire inflation pressure at the next opportunity and correct as needed.
  4. Reinitialize the Flat Tire Monitor.

    Reset the Tire Pressure Monitor again.

  5.  Check to make sure the lug bolts are tight with a calibrated torque wrench.
  6. Have the damaged tire replaced at the nearest dealer's service center or another qualified service center or repair shop.
