Clutch, interchanging and balancing wheels 71
le clutch need§ no maintenance, and
s automatically adjusted for wear by the
d utch slave cylinder.
OLiring a BMW lnspection every 30000
m (20000 miles), clutch driving plate
learshould be checked in situ.
As the driving plate wears, distance "a"
oecomes smaller. When the wear limit is
reached. "a" = 5 mm (0.2 in).
iu this point, the clutch driving plate
must be renewed by an authorized BMW
service station.
Loss of fluid from the clutch hydraulic
system, or penetration of air into the
circuit, can lead to incomplete clutch
withdrawal and possibly to gearbox
damage.
The system should be bled in good time
via the bleed screw.
ln the interests of uniform tire wear at all
wheels, the wheels can be interchanged
if desired during a BMW lnspection every
15000 km (10000 miles). The front and
rear wheels on each side of the car may
be interchanged, but wheels should
never be moved to the opposite side of
the car. The spare wheel can be brought
into use to replace one of the road wheels
if so desi red.
Have the wheels balanced statically and
dynamically, if possible in position on the
car, following interchanging. This work
can be specified during a BMW lnspec-
tion every 15000 km (10000 miles).
The tires should be regularly inspected
for wear, damage, penetration by foreign
bodies etc. If uneven wear patterns are
detected, have the car.s wheel alignment
checked using the proper equipment and
with the car loaded to the specified
weight.
