What is the standard tire pressure for a BMW 5 Series?
1 Answers
The normal standard tire pressure for a BMW 5 Series is between 2.4-2.5 bar. Due to seasonal factors, the tire pressure can be slightly increased by 0.2 bar in winter and reduced by 0.1 bar in summer. Methods to check tire pressure in a BMW 5 Series: Using a tire pressure gauge: For the BMW 5 Series, manually checking with a tire pressure gauge is the most direct and accurate method. You can ask service personnel to check it during regular maintenance or car washes. Using the BMW 5 Series tire pressure monitoring system: By performing simple operations on the BMW 5 Series onboard computer, you can view the tire pressure of all four wheels. If any tire's pressure is too low or too high, the dashboard will issue a warning, prompting the driver to perform necessary checks. This feature is not only convenient but also enhances the vehicle's active safety. If the tire pressure monitoring indicator lights up (a yellow symbol with an irregular circle, no stamp on top, four small spikes at the bottom, and an exclamation mark inside), there are generally three possible reasons: 1. Abnormal tire pressure. The system usually alerts when the pressure is below 1.8 bar or above 3.0 bar. In this case, the tires need to be checked and the pressure adjusted. 2. Tire pressure monitoring system not reset. After inflating the tires, if the system is not reset in time, it will continue to display the previous data, causing the indicator to light up. Simply reset the tire pressure monitoring system to resolve this issue. 3. Damaged tire pressure sensor. The tire pressure sensor, which monitors tire pressure, is installed inside the tire and connected to the inflation valve. If the sensor is damaged due to impact while driving, the tire pressure warning light will illuminate. In such cases, the only solution is to replace the sensor with a new one.
