00...... Notes On Using Repair Instructions, Technical Data, Tightening Torques

These repair instructions are intended to help expertly carry out maintenance and repair work.

They thus supplement the practical and theoretical training of master mechanics and fitters in BMW's Service Training Centers.

The Repair Instructions describes the removal, installation and replacement of subassemblies in the vehicle.

The Repair Instructions describe tasks which can be carried out on series-production BMW Group vehicles and vehicles which have not been subsequently converted.

Cross-references to "Technical Data" and "Tightening Torques" must be complied with.

If there are no cross-references to tightening torques in the repair instructions, the excerpts from the company standard BMW N 600 02.0 must be observed.

Cross-references to other flat rate units are intended as an aid and can refer to a complete work operation or merely to individual work steps contained therein.

Cross-references to other flat rate units must not be considered as an extension of the labor performance standard.

The structure of the Repair Instructions corresponds to the numbering system of the flat rate manuals (flat rate units).

Note. With the exception of inspection operations, no flat rates are published for the E52 (Z8) model series. However, the numbering system (flat rate units) is retained.

Furthermore, the corresponding microfiches of the repair instructions are valid for the E12, E21, E24, E28, E30, E31 and E34 model series.

The microfiche is also valid for the E32 model series with the following exception: For the 750i, 750Li models and the job description 31 31 000 Replacing front left or right spring strut, the TIS CD must be used!

In general, the individual work steps of the Repair Instructions describe only the removal of subassemblies. All removed subassemblies are reinstalled in reverse sequence. If particular features need to be observed during installation, they are identified as notes on installation. In contrast, complicated removal and installation procedures are described separately.

Make sure you adhere to the BMW-recommended work area of 5 x 7 m and to an escape route of 0.6 m between two lifting platforms.

Before raising the BMW multi-trailer, please observe the following points

1. Raise the trailer only when it is unloaded
2. Remove a supplied loading ramp from the loading ramp frame so that all chassis areas of the BMW multi-trailer are freely accessible
3. There must be sufficient clearance between the carrier arms/flat girder bridges and the GFK aprons or the front guard of the BMW multi-trailer
4. The BMW multi-trailer must always be positioned in the middle of the lifting platform.

The BMW multi-trailer can only be raised if you use the support plate attachment sleeves for transporters (1). Position the axle of the BMW multi-trailer in the direction of travel in front of the pillars of the platform in order to obtain the specified lifting ranges and to establish sufficient clearance between disk wheel and carrier arms. The long carrier arms raise the front and the short carrier arms raise the rear of the BMW multi-trailer.

Scheme 177

Romaico-Lift twin-pillar lifting platform

The BMW multi-trailer can only be raised if you use the 146 mm high attachments (1). Position the axle of the BMW multi-trailer in the direction of travel in front of the pillars of the platform in order to obtain the specified lifting ranges and to establish sufficient clearance between disk wheel and carrier arms. The long carrier arms raise the front and the short carrier arms raise the rear of the BMW multi-trailer.

Scheme 178

Retract belt strap; here the inertia reel mechanism must retract the strap automatically and without squeaking noises, the last section of the strap may have to be fed in.

Pull out belt strap in short tugs - locking reel must lock.

Belt buckle

The tongue on the belt strap must easily snap into place with an audible click.

When the "Press" button is pressed, the tongue must be ejected from the buckle under spring pressure.

Note. If the seat belt is damaged, you must replace the seat belt completely after consulting the customer; issue a separate invoice for this work. Instructions on how to proceed, refer to PASSIVE SAFETY SYSTEM - OVERVIEW .

The oil from the front chamber is pumped permanently into the main oil sump by a separate oil pump. For this purpose, the engine must be run at idle for at least 1 minute immediately prior to an oil change.

Recycling

Catch and dispose of engine oil with suitable equipment.

Note national regulations.
