Overview -> Tire inflation pressure for your BMW 7 Series 2001-2007

28nTire inflation pressure  
Check tire inflation pressures reg-  
ularly – at least every two weeks  
and before beginning a longer trip. In-  
correct tire pressure can otherwise lead  
to tire damage and accidents.  
Comply with tire approval  
specifications  
The inflation pressures in the table ap-  
ply to tires from BMW-approved manu-  
facturers. Your BMW center is familiar  
with these pressures. Higher pressures  
may be specified for tires from other  
manufacturers. You will find a list of ap-  
proved tires beginning on page 142.  
Also check the inflation pressure of the  
spare tire. Inflate the spare tire to the  
highest inflation of any tire on your vehi-  
cle.<  
Your vehicle is equipped with tires that  
not only meet US standards, but also  
European standards. We recommend  
the exclusive use of BMW-approved  
tires.  
The inflation pressures are indicated on  
a sticker attached to the B-pillar behind  
the driver's door (visible with door  
open).  
Check tire pressures  
All pressure specifications are indicated  
in psi (kilopascal) with cold tires (cold =  
ambient temperature). Refer to the next  
page as well.  
For vehicles with Tire Pressure Control  
(RDC)*:  
After a correction of the tire inflation  
pressure, reactivate the system. Refer  
to page 98.
