Important notes
Target Group
Target group for these installation instructions are technical personnel trained on BMW
vehicles, who have special knowledge of body electronics.
Tasks:
Carry out all maintenance, repair and installation work on BMW vehicles on own authority.
All operations should be carried out with the aid of the current BMW
- repair instruction manuals
- circuit diagrams
in a logical sequence using the prescribed tools (special tools) whilst observing the applicable
health and safety regulations.
Assembly notes
All operations are shown on a left-hand drive vehicle. On right-hand drive vehicles, proceed in
the same sequence but in mirror image.
Should specified pin spaces be already assigned, bridges, double crimping or parallel
connections will have to be made.
Take care to see that cables do not get kinked or damaged when they are being installed
as otherwise faults may occur which can only be localised later by extensive reworking. Costs
arising in this way will not be reimbursed by BMW.
Tightening torques for screwed connections should be observed. Please refer to the parts
information system (TIS) for the required tightening torques.
Required tools and ancillary materials
Set of flat-tip screwdrivers

Set of Phillips screwdrivers
Set of TORX wrenches
Hand lamp
Drilling machine
Set of hexagon-socket screw keys (Allen keys)
