The engine is overheated. Reduce your
speed immediately and pull over at a
suitable location. Switch off the engine
and allow it to cool down. Contact your nearest
BMW Center or a workshop that works accord-
ing to BMW repair procedures with correspond-
ingly trained personnel.
Do not open the hood, otherwise there is
a risk of injury from scalding.<

The engine is too warm. Continue driv-
ing, but in a moderate manner, so that
the engine can cool down.
If the warning lamp comes on again, have the
engine checked without delay.
As much as possible, avoid driving at engine
speeds within the illuminated warning zone.
Engine oil thermometer
Never force the engine speed up into the red
warning zone beginning at arrow 2. To protect

Reserve
In contrast to the descriptions in the Owner's
Manual for the BMW Z4, the reserve level for
the BMW Z4 M Roadster/Z4 M Coupe is approx.
2.6 US gallons/10 liters.
The general operating temperature lies
between 1757/806 and 2507/1206. Do
not exceed the maximum temperature of
3007/1506.
If the engine oil temperature is too high, the per-
missible engine speed, and thus the available

Special operating instructions
Break-in procedures
Driving notes
In contrast to the descriptions in the Owner's
Manual for the BMW Z4, please take note of the
following differences for your BMW Z4 M Road-
ster/Z4 M Coupe.
Ground clearance
The front spoiler greatly restricts the
vehicle's ground clearance. Make sure
that your BMW always has sufficient ground
clearance, e.g. when entering underground
garage complexes or driving over the edge of a
curb; otherwise the front spoiler could be dam-
aged.<
Always obey all official speed limits.
Engine and differential
Up to 1,200 miles/2,000 km
Drive at varying engine and road speeds, but do
not exceed 5,500 rpm or 100 mph/170 km/h.
Braking safely
In contrast to the descriptions in the Owner's
Manual for the BMW Z4, your BMW Z4 M Road-
ster/Z4 M Coupe is equipped with perforated
brake discs.
Strictly avoid depressing the accelerator pedal
to full-throttle position.
After the breaking-in inspection at 1,200 miles/
2,000 km, engine or road speeds can be gradu-
ally increased.
In certain braking situations, operation of the
perforated brake discs can cause noise; how-
ever, this does not affect the performance and
operating safety of the brakes.
Transmission
The function of the transmission reaches its
optimal level only after driving a distance of
approx. 300 miles/500 km. Do not exceed
engine speeds of 5,500 rpm during this time.
After replacing components
The same break-in procedures should be
observed if any of the components mentioned
above have to be renewed in the course of the
vehicle's operating life.

Note when refueling
In contrast to the descriptions in the Owner's
Manual for the BMW Z4, please take note of the
following differences for your BMW Z4 M Road-
ster/Z4 M Coupe.
Fuel tank capacity
Approx. 14.5 US gallons/55 liters, including the

The warning lamp lights up in yellow
after the engine is switched off. A signal
also sounds.
Adding engine oil
Check the engine oil level using dipstick 7 at the
earliest opportunity, e.g. when you stop to
refuel, and refill engine oil.
The warning lamp lights up in yellow
within 30 seconds after the engine is
started:
The oil level sensor is defective. Have the sys-
tem checked as soon as possible.
Do not add oil until the oil level has dropped
almost to the lower mark on the dipstick, refer to
Checking the oil level.
Checking the oil level
1. Position the vehicle on a level surface.
Do not add oil beyond the upper mark on
the dipstick, otherwise excessive oil can
lead to engine damage.<
2. Switch off the engine when it is at operating
temperature.
3. After approx. 1 minute, pull dipstick 7 out
and wipe it off with a clean, lint-free cloth,
paper towel or something similar.
Before you check the engine oil level after add-
ing oil, restart the engine and let it run to obtain
a correct reading. Then proceed as described
under Checking the oil level.
4. Carefully push the dipstick fully into its tube,
then pull it out again.
BMW engines are designed to operate
without oil additives; the use of additives
could even lead to damage in some cases. The
same applies to the transmission and differen-
tial as well as to the power steering.<
The oil level must be between the two
marks on the dipstick.
Continuous exposure to used oil has
caused cancer in laboratory tests. For this
reason, thoroughly wash any areas of skin that
have come into contact with oil using soap and
water.
Keep oils, greases, etc. out of the reach of chil-
dren and comply with the warnings on the con-
tainers. Otherwise, health hazards may result.<
The oil volume between the two marks on the
dipstick corresponds to approx. 1.4 US quarts/
1.3 liters.
Comply with the applicable environmen-
tal regulations concerning the disposal of
used oil.<
Recommendation: have the oil changed at your
BMW Center.
Approved engine oils
The quality of the engine oil is extremely impor-
tant for the function and life of an engine. BMW
only approves specific oils after confirming their
suitability for use in its vehicles with extensive
testing.
29
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
Online Edition for Part-No. 01 41 0 012 046 - © 04/06 BMW AG
Only use oils specifically approved for your
vehicle model.
Your BMW Center will be glad to advise
you about oils currently approved for your
vehicle.<
You can also call BMW of North America toll-
free at 1-800-831-1117 or visit this website:
Do not use any oil additives, as they could
cause engine damage under some cir-
cumstances.<
Alternative oil grades
If a high-performance synthetic oil approved by
BMW should be unavailable, you may use small
volumes of other oils for topping up between oil
changes. The following data must appear on
the packaging:
>
Viscosity
preferred: SAE 10W-60
alternative: SAE 5W-40 or SAE 10W-40
>
Specification
preferred: API SJ/CF
alternative: API SJ, also SK, SL, S...
Low ambient temperatures
The oils used by BMW at the factory for your
vehicle model can be used at virtually all ambi-
ent temperatures. However, if the vehicle is
operated for a longer period at temperatures
below –47/–206, your BMW Center will be
glad to recommend a suitable oil.

inside of the tire, seal off the damaged area,
restore the tire inflation pressure and then con-
tinue driving.
Coupe: access to onboard tool kit
1. Turn the quick-release fastener counter-
clockwise.
Safety measures in the event of a flat:
Park the vehicle as far as possible from
passing traffic and on solid ground. Switch on
the hazard warning flashers.
Lock the steering wheel so that the wheels are
facing straight ahead. Apply the handbrake and
engage first or reverse gear. Have all vehicle
occupants get out of the vehicle and ensure
that they remain outside the immediate area in a
safe place, such as behind a guardrail.
If a warning triangle or portable hazard warning
lamp is required, set it up on the roadside at an
appropriate distance from the rear of the vehi-
cle. Comply with all national safety guidelines
and regulations.<
2. Pull out the cover.
When reinstalling the cover, make sure
that its tabs are inserted into the corre-
sponding cut-outs in the cargo bay trim panel.<
Preparation
If possible, do not remove foreign bodies which
have penetrated the tire.
