Interior care
Upholstery fabrics/cloth trims/ Alcantara fabrics
Vacuum regularly with a vacuum cleaner to remove superficial dirt.
To remove severe spots such as stains from beverages, use a soft sponge or lint-free microfiber cloth and suitable interior cleaners. Follow the instructions on the packaging.
Clean the upholstery down to the seams using a sweeping motion. Avoid strong rubbing.
Opened Velcro fasteners on pants or other articles of clothing can damage the seat covers. Ensure that Velcro fasteners are closed.
Leather/leather trimThe leather used by BMW is a high quality natural product. Slight irregularities in the leather are a typical characteristic of natural leather.
Dust and road grit in the pores and folds of the leather have an abrasive effect, leading to increased wear and causing the leather surface to become brittle prematurely. Therefore, frequently clean the leather of dust using a cloth or vacuum cleaner.
Clean light-colored leather more frequently as dust and dirt are more noticeable.
Treat the leather at least once every two months using a leather lotion as dirt and grease will gradually attack the leather's protective layer.
Carpet and floor matsKeep floor mats, carpet, and other objects out of the movement range of the pedals; otherwise, they may inhibit the function of the pedals during driving.
Do not place additional floor mats onto an existing one or onto other objects.
Only use floor mats that have been approved for the vehicle and can be appropriately fastened. Make sure that the floor mats are securely fastened again after they have been removed, e.g. for cleaning.

Fine wood partsClean fine wood trim and fine wood parts with a damp cloth. Wipe dry with a soft cloth.
Safety beltsDirty belt straps impede the reeling action and thus have a negative impact on safety.
Do not clean chemically, as this may destroy the webbing.
Interior sensors/camerasTo clean interior sensors and cameras, e.g. of the High-beam Assistant, use a lint-free cloth moistened with glass cleaner.
DisplaysTo clean displays, e.g. of the radio or instrument cluster, use a cleaning cloth for displays or a soft, non-abrasive, lint-free cloth.
Avoid applying excessive pressure when cleaning the displays; otherwise, damage may occur.
Do not use chemical or abrasive household cleaning agents. Keep all types of fluid away from the device. Otherwise, surfaces or electrical components may be corroded or damaged.
CD/DVD drivesDo not use a cleaning CD, as it may damage parts of the drive.
