WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 6 other vehicles, including the 2015 BMW 760Li, 2014 BMW 760Li, 2013 BMW 760Li, 2012 BMW 760Li, and 2011 BMW 760Li. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Do not use any abrasives (grinding wheels, paper, etc.) which contain iron (risk of corrosion).

Always replace abrasives which have already been used to treat steel (risk of corrosion).

Use stainless steel wire brushes only (risk of corrosion).

Reduce speed of grinding machines. Excessive speeds cause a smearing effect.

Do not use coarse abrasive grains (only ≥. 80).

Do not grind notches into the material (risk of cracking).

Do not grind the material thin.
