The key set
Key Memory
How the system functions
Doubtless you have often reflected on how
great it would be if you could configure
your vehicle's various adjustment settings
to meet your own personal requirements.
BMW has designed several freely select-
able options into the vehicle during its
development. You can set these as desired
via the Control Center.
You can have up to four different basic set-
tings adjusted for four different persons for
the specific keys. The only requirement is
that each person uses his or her own mas-
ter key with remote control.
1
Master keys with remote control.
They specify the functions of the Key
Memory. In the process individual func-
tions of your vehicle can behave differ-
ently depending on the key used, see
further below.
When your vehicle is unlocked with the
remote control, the vehicle recognizes the
individual key by means of a data exchange
and makes adjustments accordingly.
To differentiate, you can mark the keys
with remote controls using the color-
coded decals you received on taking
delivery of the vehicle
Examples of Key Memory functions
There is an extended-life battery
in every master key with remote
control which is charged automatically
in the ignition lock as you drive.
> Automatic adjustment of the driver's
seat
> Locking the vehicle after moving off
If you have any master keys with remote
control that are not used on a regular
basis, you should therefore remember
to recharge these units by using them
to drive the vehicle for an extended
period at least every six months, also
refer to page 28.<
> When unlocking with the remote con-
trol, either unlock only the driver's door
or the entire vehicle

page 89.
> To changing of the vehicle's tilt if some-
one attempts to steal the wheels or tow
the vehicle
> To interruption of battery voltage.
Luggage compartment
The system responds to unauthorized vehi-
cle entry and attempted theft by simulta-
neously activating:
There are four lashing eyes on the inner
corners of the luggage compartment for
securing luggage nets or securing straps to
fix luggage in position.
> An acoustic alarm, which lasts for a
period of approx. 30 seconds
Also refer to Cargo loading, page 104.
> The hazard warning flashers for approx.
5 minutes
Convertible: increasing luggage
compartment capacity
> The high beams, which flash on and off
in the same rhythm.
Arming and disarming alarm system
When you lock or unlock the vehicle, either
with the remote control or at the door lock,
the alarm system is armed or disarmed at
the same time.
The system indicates that it has been cor-
rectly armed by switching on the hazard
warning flashers for a single cycle and by
emitting an acoustic signal.
With the convertible top closed, you can
enlarge the luggage compartment capac-
ity:
To do so, unfold the handle and press it
downwards in the direction of travel, refer
to arrow. This folds the convertible top
compartment floor upwards.
You can also open the luggage compart-
ment lid with the system armed using but-
ton

Indicator lamp displays
Interior motion sensor
Coupe:
In order for the interior motion sensor to
function properly, the windows and glass
roof must be completely closed.
Convertible:
Monitors the interior up to the height of the
seat cushions. This means that the alarm
system, including the interior motion sen-
sor, is armed even if the convertible top is
open. Falling objects, e.g. leaves, can trig-
ger false alarms, refer to Avoiding uninten-
tional alarms.
> The indicator lamp below the interior
rearview mirror flashes continuously:
the system is armed
> The indicator lamp flashes on locking:
door(s) or luggage compartment lid are
not completely closed. Even if you do
not close the alerted area, the system
begins to monitor the remaining areas,
and the indicator lamp flashes continu-
ously after approx.10 seconds. How-
ever, the interior motion sensor is not
activated
Avoiding unintentional alarms
The tilt alarm sensor and interior motion
sensor may be switched off at the same
time. This is how you prevent unintentional
alarms, e.g. in the following situations:
> In garages with elevator ramps
> During transport on automobile trans-
port trains
> If animals are to remain in the vehicle.
> The indicator lamp goes out on unlock-
ing: no manipulation or attempted intru-
sions have been detected in the period
since the system was armed
Switching off tilt alarm sensor and
interior motion sensor
Press the button on the remote con-
trol once again directly after locking.
> The indicator lamp flashes on unlocking
before the remote control is inserted in
the ignition lock, but for no more than
roughly 5 minutes: an attempted entry
has been detected in the period since
the system was armed.
The indicator lamp lights up briefly and
then flashes continuously. The tilt alarm
sensor and the interior motion sensor are
switched off until the vehicle is unlocked
and locked again.
Following triggering of an alarm, the indica-
tor lamp will flash continuously.

Convertible: top
The fully automatic convertible top com-
bines secure weather protection with sim-
ple and convenient operation.
So that you get the maximum pleasure from
your convertible, here are a few tips:
> It is recommended that you close the
convertible top when the vehicle is
parked. The closed convertible top not
only protects the passenger compart-
ment against unforeseen weather dam-
age, it also represents a certain protec-
tion against theft. Nonetheless, even if
the convertible top is closed, only keep
valuables in the locked luggage com-
partment
3. Turn the Allen wrench and move the
glass roof in the desired direction.
Sliding panel
1. Lower the cover downwards, if neces-
sary using the screwdriver from the
onboard tool kit at the positions indi-
cated, refer to page 178
> Do not attach luggage rack systems to
the convertible top
> At temperatures below 147/–106,
do not operate the convertible top, as
otherwise damage can occur.
Do not leave the soft top in the con-
vertible top compartment for longer
than one day when wet, as otherwise dam-
age from moisture can occur.
Do not place any objects on the convertible
top, as otherwise if the top was to be oper-
ated, they would fall off and lead to damage
or injury.
Never move the convertible top when the
rollover protection system is raised.
Driving without having completed the
opening or closing action can lead to dam-
age or injury.
2. Insert the Allen wrench supplied with
the onboard tool kit in the opening pro-
vided
Do not place hands in the top mechanism
during the opening and closing action.
Keep children away from the travel path of
the convertible top.
For safety reasons, only operate the con-
vertible top when the vehicle is at a stand-
still.<
3. Turn the Allen wrench and move the
sliding panel in the desired direction.
If you have initiated top operation with
the vehicle at a standstill and then
drive off, e.g. at a traffic light, you can con-
tinue the initiated operation up to a speed
of 20 mph/30 km/h.
To do so, press and hold the correspond-
ing button.<
37
Partial vacuums that occur at higher
speeds in the passenger compart-
ment can make the convertible top flap.
Use the ventilation controls to increase the
air supply so that no partial vacuum occurs
in the vehicle.<
If the opening or closing action is not
completed, the luggage compartment
lid cannot be opened.
When the button for top operation is
pressed, the side windows move down-
wards slightly; the rear window is lowered
completely.
If you hold the button pressed for longer
than 2 seconds after completion of the
opening or closing action and the LED has
gone out, the side windows and rear win-
dow move once again.<
To close the electrically activated side
windows while the vehicle is being
driven, always close the rear windows or
all four windows simultaneously first, as
otherwise the windows cannot close tightly
at higher speeds.<
Indicator lamp
Prior to opening and closing
In the following situations, a message is
displayed on the Control Display and an
acoustic signal sounds in addition to the
indicator lamp:
> Read carefully and comply with the
safety precautions that appear above
> Ensure that the convertible top com-
partment floor in the luggage compart-
ment is folded down, refer to page 32,
as otherwise the convertible top cannot
be opened
> During convertible top operation, the
LED lights up green. It goes out as soon
as the opening or closing action is com-
pleted
> Ensure that the luggage compartment
lid is closed.
> If the indicator lamp flashes red when
you release the button, the opening or
closing action is not completed
Opening and closing
> If the indicator lamp lights up red with
the button pressed, the convertible top
compartment floor is folded up or a fault
has occurred. The convertible top can-
not be moved.
As of ignition key position 1, with the vehi-
cle stationary:
So as not to place an excessive load
on the battery, only operate the con-
vertible top with the engine running, if pos-
sible.
Before closing the convertible top, remove
foreign bodies from the windshield frame,
as these might inhibit closing of the con-
vertible top.<
Interruption
The automatic sequence of movements is
interrupted immediately if the button for top
operation is released. The sequence can
be continued in the desired direction using
the button.
If the opening or closing action is
interrupted for a longer period by
releasing the button, the convertible top
remains in that position for approx. 15 min-
utes before it slowly moves to a stable
position. The sequence can be continued
using the buttons.
Do not interrupt and continue the closing
action several times in succession, as oth-
erwise the fully automatic top mechanism
can be damaged.
