BMW 5 Series Tyre Pressure - Correct PSI Pressure

About BMW 5 Series

BMW 5 Series recommended tyre pressure can be found on a tyre placard on the side of driver’s door or door jam, on the fuel door or in the owners manual. Tyre inflation will be listed in psi (pounds per square inch), bar or kPa (kilopascals).

BMW 5 Series Tyre Pressures

Checking regularly all tyres on your BMW 5 Series, including your spare tyre, once a month or before a long trip is recommended.

Disclaimer: Tyre pressure data is for reference only. Always consult your vehicle's owner's manual or door jamb placard for the most accurate values.

How to Check and Maintain the Tyre Pressure on Your BMW 5 Series Tyre Pressure

Cool Down: Ensure tyres are cold (driven less than 2 miles).
Unscrew: Remove the valve cap from the tyre valve.
Measure: Press your gauge onto the valve stem firmly.
Compare: Match reading to the table above or your door placard.
Adjust: Add air if low; release air if high (using the pin in the valve).
Cap: Replace the valve cap securely.

Understanding the Importance of Proper Tyre Pressure for Your BMW 5 Series Tyre Pressure

Maintaining the correct tyre pressure is essential for the longevity of your tyres and fuel efficiency. Under-inflated tyres can lead to overheating and premature failure, while over-inflation results in a harsh ride, reduced traction, and uneven tread wear.

Maintaining the Ideal Tyre Pressure for Your BMW 5 Series Tyre Pressure: Dos and Don'ts

Do check pressures when tyres are cold (driven less than 2 miles).
Do use a reliable gauge; gas station gauges can be inaccurate.
Don't bleed air from hot tyres; pressures naturally rise when driving.
Don't ignore the spare tyre check.

Winter vs. Summer Tyre Pressures

In winter, for the BMW 5 Series Tyre Pressure, consider adding 0.2 bar (3 PSI) to the standard pressures if you are using winter tyres, as cold air causes pressure to drop.

5-Point Tyre Safety Check

Pressure: Check all 4 tyres + spare monthly.
Condition: Look for cuts, bulges, or embedded objects.
Tread: Legal minimum is 1.6mm; recommended replacement at 3mm.
Valves: Ensure caps are tight to prevent dirt ingress.
Alignment: uneven wear indicates tracking issues.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the recommended tyre pressure for the BMW 5 Series Tyre Pressure?

For the BMW 5 Series Tyre Pressure, the recommended tyre pressure typically ranges between 29 PSI and 41 PSI, depending on the specific trim level and year of manufacture. Always check your door jamb placard for the exact value.

What tyre sizes fit the BMW 5 Series Tyre Pressure?

Common tyre sizes for the BMW 5 Series Tyre Pressure include 29. Consult your vehicle's owner's manual for the full range of approved sizes.

How often should I check my BMW 5 Series Tyre Pressure tyre pressure?

You should check the tyre pressure on your BMW 5 Series Tyre Pressure at least once a month and before any long journeys. Cold inflation pressure (before driving) provides the most accurate reading.
