Mechanical workbay
1. General information
To guarantee that repair work is performed on the high-voltage components of BMW i vehicles safely,
specific workbay requirements must be met. For repairs on BMW i vehicles, two workbays should ideally be
planned directly next to each other. These workbays must be equipped with the relevant barriers (e.g.
barrier tape). One workbay must be equipped with a suitable vehicle hoist (see Enclosure 3: "Requirements
for vehicle hoists"). A vehicle hoist is optional for the second workbay. Generally, the high-voltage
components are removed from the vehicle at one workbay and repaired at the other workbay.
Note:
Workbays for high-voltage components must be weather-proof. It must also be ensured that flying
sparks cannot reach the high-voltage components from other workbays. For this reason, the workbays
should be positioned in a cordoned-off area at the edge of an existing workshop where possible.
2. Possibility of high-voltage charging
Important!
If repair work is to be performed on the vehicle while the high-voltage battery is charging, the notes in
the relevant repair instructions must be observed.
The high-voltage battery must only be charged via a high-voltage charger. When choosing a suitable place
for charging, bear in mind that a high-voltage battery can take several hours to charge fully. A location that
will not disrupt workshop operations should therefore be chosen.
3. Mechanical repair work and repair work on the 12 V vehicle electrical system
There are no special workbay requirements for mechanical repair work (without removal of assembly) and
repair work on the 12 V vehicle electrical system where suitable vehicle hoists are used (see Enclosure 3:
"Requirements for vehicle hoists").
