Tyre pressures on i8

JasH · 04-09-2015, 05:37 PM

My i8 has the Turbine wheels, so are a little wider than the standard ones.

The manual states that the correct tyre pressures can be found on the door pillar of the driver's door. It is not there

I checked both doors.

I tried googling to find the correct tyre pressures too, but with no luck.

I ended up just guessing, and filled each front tyre to 2.35 bar and each rear tyre to 2.4 bar.

Does anyone know the correct pressures please?

I'll check shortly on mine and post in an hour or so. I know mine were on the door, want to say 32 psi but not sure.

Correct. I have turbine wheels, too. I fill all 4 to 33 ppsi. Just because.

It is indeed 32 psi for my us turbine wheels. The sticker is on the underside of the driver door itself, not the door panel.

Has anyone else enabled the temperature readings for the 4 wheels? v12 did it for me and it's fun to watch. The tires sitting in the sun get a bit hotter but it doesn't seem to affect pressure.

(I also have AM radio -- which is essentially unusable because of the interference -- and a suite of features unavailable in the U.S. My BMW USA contact said that if I wanted to know if re-coding would affect my warranty to ask my dealer. And my dealer said no as long as it wasn't related to the powertrain.)

fyi, for metric reference in case anyone needs, 32psi is 2.2 Bar.

(So it seems I filled mine to 34/35psi....will need to let some air out.)
