WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 31 other vehicles, including the 2015 BMW Alpina B7L, 2015 BMW Alpina B7, 2015 BMW 750i, 2015 BMW 750Li, and 2015 BMW 740i. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Shielded lines (coaxial lines):

IMPORTANT: Shielded lines may not be repaired!

This may lead to indifferences in noise radiation and interference immunity at contact points in the shield
To satisfy the requirements of the type approval, it is essential to replace shielded cables completely

Fibre-optic cable:

NOTE: Fibre-optic cables are colored differently as follows:

Green = MOST (M edia O riented S ystems T ransport) optical fibre
Yellow = ISIS (I ntelligent S afety I ntegration S ystem) optical fibre
Orange=repair fibre-optic cables

IMPORTANT:

Optical fibres may only reveal one separation point (bridge); renew optical fibre if necessary
Smallest permissible bending radius is 25 mm
Avoid effects of heat ≥ 85 °

Treating cables and fibre-optic cables: see TREATING CABLES AND FIBRE-OPTIC CABLES .

FlexRay:

It is possible to repair the FlexRay. In the event of damage, the cables can be joined with conventional BUTT CONNECTORS AND HEAT-SHRINK HOSES .

NOTE:

FlexRay lines may only reveal one separation point (bride); renew complete line if necessary
The cable is a twisted cable. If possible, maintain twisted cable after repair

Airbag lines:

Shielded lines

Contact points in the shield can cause problems with regard to noise radiation and interference immunity. Consequently, distinctions have to be drawn between the following types:

Coaxial line

Shielded RTK031 coaxial lines may only be repaired with special crimping tool for repairing the coaxial line RTK031.

CVBS lines

CVBS lines may not be repaired.
CVBS lines must be replaced in their entirety.

HSD lines

HSD lines may not be repaired.

HSD lines must be replaced in their entirety.

Optical fibre cable:

NOTE: Optical fibre cables are colored differently as follows:

Green = MOST (M edia O riented S ystems T ransport) optical fibre
Yellow = ISIS (I ntelligent S afety I ntegration S ystem) optical fibre
Orange = repair optical fibre cables

IMPORTANT:

Optical fibre cables are permitted to show only one separation point (bridge), replace optical fibre cables if necessary
Smallest permissible bending radius is 25 mm
Avoid influence of heat ≥ 85 °
