By passing air from outside through the micro-filter, your BMW’s air conditioning system removes 80% of the particles and deposits from traffic fumes. An evaporator assists in regulating the air temperature before it is circulated throughout your vehicle to ensure you’re always sitting comfortably.

Continuous use of your air conditioning helps prevent the build-up of mould and microbes inside the micro-filter. It also stops seals from becoming brittle, which can cause the refrigerant to leak. However, to keep your system operating at peak efficiency and avoid musty smells, the micro-filters should be maintained at regular intervals and the correct level of refrigerant gas should be checked and replaced.

Book your BMW for its annual MOT with one of our dealers, and they'll take care of everything. Before submitting it for the test they'll check it over - and they can pre-warn you of any potential problem, such as tyres nearing their legal limit. Search for your nearest BMW Service Authorised Workshop using the locator provided for contact details and quotations. MOT facilities are provided either in-house or by using a local approved MOT testing station, your BMW Dealer will be able to provide full details.

If you would like further details about the official MOT test these can be found on the VOSA website:www.vosa.gov.uk.

Run-flat Tyres are specially designed tyres that enable you to continue driving when you have a punctured tyre on your vehicle.

The driver is warned that they have a puncture via a Tyre Pressure Monitoring device installed on the vehicle. There is no longer the need for you to stop driving straight away and replace the wheel, as you are able to continue driving at a reduced speed on the tyre, even though it may be deflated.

Other advantages are:

As temperatures fall below 7°C, BMW Winter Tyres will provide optimum grip to keep you safely on the road.

With twice as many accidents happening in the winter than the summer† , it's a fact that driving conditions can become much more treacherous when the days get shorter and the weather gets colder. Many drivers don't appreciate that the performance of their tyres is affected when temperatures drop below 7 °C which, let's face it, is on most days in a typical British winter. The best way to ensure a safe journey from autumn through to spring is by using tyres that have been specifically developed to cope with the lower temperatures and inclement weather.

From 1 November, 2012, all tyres sold in the EU must be labelled in compliance with a standardised system. 

The EU tyre label informs customers of three properties of the tyre which it represents: 

Fuel efficiency
One of the factors that affects the fuel efficiency of a car is the rolling resistance of its tyres. A tyre becomes deformed when rotating which influences its ability to roll, resulting in a loss of energy in the form of heat.

The higher the deformation, the higher the tyre's rolling resistance, and consequently the more fuel that is required to move the vehicle forward. So, lower rolling resistance means lower fuel consumption and therefore lower vehicle emissions. 

This is defined by classification ranging from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient).

This figure describes the grip properties on a wet road surface. The better the wet grip, the shorter the braking distance. This is defined by a class ranging from F (longest braking distance) to A (shortest braking distance) when braking at 80 km/h. The effectiveness depends on the vehicle and the driving conditions.

The tyre label specifies the level of external rolling noise in decibels (dB) and as one, two or three sound waves.

Actual fuel savings and road safety depend heavily on the behaviour of the individual driver, and in particular the following points should be taken into account:
