The installation time for the foil wrap black high gloss front is around 0.25 hours. These times may vary depending on the condition of the car and the equipment in it. The installation time shown does not include any time spent on programming/coding. The calculation of the total costs for the programming time must be factored into the calculation of retrofitting costs (must not be invoiced under the warranty). Important information These installation instructions are primarily designed for use within the BMW dealership organisation and by authorised BMW service companies. These installation instructions are intended for use by qualified specialist staff trained on BMW cars with the relevant expert knowledge. All work must be completed using the latest BMW repair manuals, wiring diagrams, servicing manuals and work instructions, in a logical order, using the prescribed tools (special tools), and observing current health and safety regulations. © BMW AG, Munich 01 29 2 455 929 12/2020 (V/Z) 7.0 1/25 If you experience installation or functional problems, restrict troubleshooting to approx. 0.5 hours for mechanical work and 1.0 hours for electrical work. To avoid unnecessary extra work and/or costs, send an inquiry to the technical parts support team. Quote the following information: – VIN, – retrofit kit part number, – a detailed description of the problem, – any work already carried out. Do not archive the printout of these installation instructions. The current version can be found in the EPC. Pictograms Denotes instructions that draw your attention to dangers. ! Denotes instructions that draw your attention to special features. Denotes the end of the instruction or warning text. Installation information All illustrations show LHD (left-hand drive) cars; proceed accordingly on RHD (right-hand drive) cars. Installation is shown on one side of the car only, proceed in the same way on the other side. Installation is shown on the G32; the same installation procedures apply to the other cars. Differences are described in the relevant section. The ambient temperature for bonding and drying must not be below 15°C or exceed 35°C. The foil application adjusts to the surface of the car under the influence of heat (direct sunlight, hair dryer); if required this can be used to get rid of air bubbles trapped underneath it. If the Frozen Black foil application (part number 51 14 2 458 194) is installed on the G20, the M Performance logo sticker (part number 51 14 2 461 811) must not be installed. If the side skirt foil application (part number 51 14 2 458 236) and the M Performance logo (part number 51 14 2 461 811) are installed on the G05, the Frozen Black foil application (part number 51 14 2 456 383) must not be installed. The following processing instructions apply to the retrofit kit: The bonding surfaces must be completely dry, clean, and free from wax or grease. The bonding surfaces (1) must be cleaned with a cleaning cloth (2) and suitable cleaning products. © BMW AG, Munich 01 29 2 455 929 12/2020 (V/Z) 7.0 2/25 Do not apply excessive pressure to the surfaces of the car with the blade (1), otherwise you may inadvertently cause damage. After running the blade over the foil application, wait for approx. 10 minutes and then carefully pull the application tape off the foil application at an angle of 180°, wetting the application tape liberally with installation solution if necessary. Press any projecting edges down with the blade (1). Foil application sections with edges abutting the door openings are to be positioned in such a way that the end edges (1) touch the opposite edge of the gap (2). The foil application sections are then to be pressed around the edge and smoothed down with the blade. Special tools required Blade (part number 51 91 0 416 502) © BMW AG, Munich 01 29 2 455 929 12/2020 (V/Z) 7.0 3/25 Table of contents Section Page 1.
