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. See 00 MAINTENANCE AND GENERAL INFORMATION .

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.

Further information on repair operations can be found on the "Commercial Service Data CD (KSD CD)". For the E39, E46 and E53 model series and the following model series, it is possible after selecting the FRU items to activate the corresponding information via the Text and Inclusive Items buttons.

Improvements and modifications are published regularly in service information bulletins.

61 00 ... Notes on Handling Wiring Harnesses And Cables

In general

To avoid damage, observe the following instructions

1. Avoid compressive and tensile loads
2. Make sure cables are laid without kinks or abrasions
3. Ensure non-contacting routing at sharp-edged body parts; use muckets if necessary
4. Secure additionally laid cables/leads with cable ties

In addition

Shielded cables (coaxial cables)

1. This may lead to indifferences in noise radiation and interference immunity at contact points in the shield
2. To satisfy the requirements of the type approval, it is essential to replace shielded cables completely

Fibre-optic cables

Note. Fibre-optic cables are colored differently as follows

1. Green = MOST ( M edia O riented S ystems T ransport) fibre-optic cables
2. Yellow = ISIS (Integrated S ervice and I nformation S erver) fibre-optic cables
3. Orange=repair fibre-optic cables

Treating cables and fibre-optic cables. See 61 13... TREATING CABLES AND FIBER-OPTIC CABLES .

86 10 ... Positioning of Multitrailer Hood For Maintenance And Repair Work

For maintenance and repair work, raise the hood using a lifting platform. Twin-column lifting platforms, body lifting platforms and twin-stamp underfloor platforms are suitable. The seating plates and areas of the lifting platform must be adjustable according to the dimensions of (Scheme 51).

Scheme 51

The lifting platform must conform to the relevant legal provisions of the accident prevention regulations and be serviced as specified. Comply with the lifting platform operating instructions, in particular the safety instructions and the carrying capacity.

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.

Please comply with the following instructions before raising the hood

1. Raise only when it is unloaded
2. Ensure sufficient clearance between the seating plates/seating areas and the GFP edge of the hood
3. The hood must always be positioned in the middle of the lifting platform.
