SUBJECT:
Tire Pressure Placards
MODEL:
E46
Situation:
The tire pressure placard used on the E46 323i prior to March 1999 production does not list the "91 H" rated 205/55 R 16 tire, but lists this size tire
as a "91 V" rating.
Some E46's equipped with the optional 225/45 R 17 tires may have tires with a 225/45 ZR 17 91W sidewall designation. This is an interchangeable
designation indicating that the tire can be used in a OR application as well as the "91W" application called for on the E46. The tire pressure placard
used on these cars lists the 225/45 R 17 91W designation only.
Please note that all tire size designation and inflation pressures on the placard are correct.
Correction:
The tire pressure placard used on 323i models has been corrected to show the "91 H" rating as of 3/99 production. Parts stock has been cleared so
that only the updated placards are on hand.
The 225/45 R 17 91W listing on the 323i and 328i tire pressure placards will not be changed.
Procedure:
In case of customer complaint, on a 323i equipped with optional 205/55 R 16 91 H tires, the tire pressure placard may be replaced with a corrected
placard, part number 71 24 1 096 738. Wipe the existing placard clean with a dry cloth or paper towel, and adhere the new placard directly on top of
the old one.
In case of a customer inquiry on E46s equipped with optional 17" tires with a 225/45 OR 17 91W sidewall designation, advise the customer that the
tires are interchangeable with the 225/45 R 17 91W, and to follow the information on the tire pressure placard.
Warranty Information:
Replacement of the 323i tire pressure placard is covered under the terms of the BMW new car limited warranty.
