Ideally in Park with engine running, but up to 30kmh or engine off is OK.

But please only operate with car level - not on hills!

In the car, pull roof button on centre console towards the rear and hold. Push forward to close.

Don’t stop halfway - complete full open or close in one motion.

If dash alerts says ‘Luggage compartm. partition’, check the pictured grey tray in boot is pulled down. Lifting up gives extra boot space if roof operation not needed.

Switch on your phone’s Bluetooth.

Head to the BMW iDrive menu pictured above; select Communication, Manage Mobile Devices, Connect New Device, then follow prompts, doing same in your phones Bluetooth settings.

You’ll get audio directions when using phone maps apps. I suggest not using the car’s inbuilt maps as they don’t show new roads, roadworks and traffic.

If you see Tyre Pressure warning, feel loss of air, or even steering pulling one way. please pull over and call me.

Tyres are NON-runflats. There’s can of tyre goo behind pictured flap in boot, allowing slow drive to nearest Bob Jane for smaller punctures.

Larger holes or sidewall damage will need towing as BMW don’t supply a spare. Turo’s (included) towing’s usually pretty quick.

Press button to right of gearstick to acess Drive and Reverse.

When in D, slide stick left for (faster) Sports gear changes.

Use Drive Select rocker right of gearstick to cycle through driving modes:

Comfort - normal driving with balanced settings.

Sport - better throttle response, sharper steering, stiffer suspension,better engine and exhaust note.

Sport+ - as above but with traction control deactivated - not needed and not recommended.

Eco Pro - significantly better fuel economy for longer drives, noting overtaking acceleration is reduced!

Press button number 8 on CD for Sports dials - Horsepower and Torque.

To store your preferred driving position - press Set then 2 side of driver’s seat.

No smoking at all in the car.

Prefer no vaping, but if you must then please all windows and roof down.

No track use or unsealed roads - these violate Turo’s terms of service and they may ban you!

Please don’t ride shirtless and if possible use the supplied clear sunscreen - the white ones stain the seats!

Car’s location and speed is tracked and this data shared with Turo to help them monitor the above usage.

Don’t panic! Sh*t happens. Call me!

For accidents or damage, there’s a Turo incident card in glovebox with instructions.

Take lots of photos - close up and wide angle to show the whole scenario. Get details of any other cars involved - number plate essential and ideally driver contact details.

Don’t hesitate to call the police on 000 or your local station if you feel the need.

Submit damage report in the trip in Turo app. I’ll then reviews this, do further images, then suggest best path for repair.

If there’s the slightest chance of mechanical damage, please do not drive, else you risk further damage and extra costs.
