This may vary depending on the condition of the car and the equipment in it. The calculation of the total costs for the programming time must be factored into the calculation of retrofitting costs (no invoicing via warranty). The installation time does not include any time for programming/encoding, as this depends on the age of the car and the equipment in it. Important information These installation instructions are primarily designed for use within the BMW dealership organisation and by authorised BMW service companies. These installation instructions are intended for use by qualified specialist staff trained on BMW vehicles with the relevant expert knowledge. All work must be completed using the latest BMW repair manuals, wiring diagrams, servicing manuals and work instructions, in a rational order, using the prescribed tools (special tools) and observing current health and safety regulations.

If you experience installation or function problems, restrict troubleshooting to approx. 0.5 hours for mechanical work and.0 hour for electrical work. To avoid unnecessary extra work and/or costs, send an inquiry straight away to the technical parts support team via the Aftersales Assistance Portal (ASAP). Quote the following information: - Chassis number, - Retrofit kit part number, - A detailed description of the problem, - Any work already carried out. Do not archive the hard copy of these installation instructions since daily updates are provided via ASAP. Pictograms Denotes instructions that draw your attention to dangers.! Denotes instructions that draw your attention to special features. Denotes the end of the instruction or other text. Installation information - All contact/bonding surfaces on the components being installed must be absolutely dry, clean, and free of wax, silicon and grease. These surfaces must be treated with suitable BMW cleaner of BMW primer (see EPC for details), as set out in the appropriate product application instructions - If you use adhesive tape, it must be applied using a contact pressure of between 0 N/cm2 and 50 N/cm2 - Take care not to damage the parts when opening the packaging - Check that all the parts fit accurately on the car before fitting them - All affected components and their bonding surfaces must be at room temperature for installation. The ideal relative humidity is 50%. Different values will change the specified times - After completing the gluing And installation work, the car must remain stationary at room temperature for at least 2 hours - If adhesives are used the car may be driven after 24 hours, and may be taken through a car wash after 48 hours. The car must not be driven above a speed of v max < 00 km/h for 24-48 hours - The installed parts may become loose and fly off the car if you fail to wait for the full reaction time of the primer/adhesive. Danger of accidents! - Some of the installation steps are shown only on one side of the car. Proceed in the same way on the other side of the car. - All pictures show LHD cars; proceed accordingly on RHD cars - When the Performance Aerodynamics Package is retrofitted, the fog lights become obsolete - When the Performance Aerodynamics Package is retrofitted to cars with SA 328 aluminium running boards, these become obsolete - Depending on the engine and country version, the arrangement of the air guides must be observed exactly; depending on the arrangement of the existing air guides in the car, certain parts may become superfluous and will no longer be required. - PDC ultrasonic converters must not be painted since this may cause them to fail.
