36 00... Checking tire inflation pressure: Notes
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 BMW Z4, 2012 BMW Z4, 2011 BMW Z4, 2010 BMW Z4, and 2009 BMW Z4. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
Through natural air diffusion, a tire loses approx. 0.05 bar per month, which is about 0.03 bar inflation pressure after 6 months.
Driving with low pressure negatively impacts fuel consumption and tire wear, particularly the tendency of run-flat tires to wear unevenly and experience increased abrasion.
In addition, extremely low inflation pressure can adversely affect driving stability or cause tire damage and thus accidents.
Checking inflation pressure (at least twice a month and prior to long trips) as well as adjusting it to the load status of the vehicle is necessary.
