WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 19 other vehicles, including the 2010 BMW M5, 2009 BMW M5, 2008 BMW M5, 2007 BMW M5, and 2007 BMW 550i. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Use only the BMW-approved anti-friction agent for fitting
- Application only at room and object temperatures between 18 and 25°C
- Anti-friction agent dries at different rates depending on the quantity, temperature and ventilation and becomes sticky
- Anti-friction agent can only be used for fitting and not for fault elimination (e.g. grating)
- Newly painted parts may only be brought into contact with the anti-friction agent after cooling
- Optimal bonding/attachment to the background surface is achieved after approx. 48 hours. The window guide seal must not be exposed to mechanical strain beforehand (car wash, strength test, etc.).
IMPORTANT:
To avoid grating noises, do not use soapy water (low-surface-tension water with washing-up liquid) or anti-friction agent containing silicone
