On Test Stand

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 92 other vehicles, including the 2002 BMW Z3, 2002 BMW M Roadster, 2002 BMW M Coupe, 2001 BMW Z3, and 2001 BMW M5. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
WARNING: Use only brake dynamometers whose test speed is 3 mph (5 km/h) or less. Follow without fail the guidelines contained in the operating instructions of the relevant test stand manufacturer. Failure to do so may result in damage to the vehicle and the system and also personal injury.
CAUTION: The maximum test duration for four-wheel drive vehicles is 3 minutes per axle. If the test has to be repeated, the vehicle must be driven over a distance of at least .6 miles (1 km) to ensure the transfer case is sufficiently lubricated.

Follow testing procedures contained in the operating instructions.

On cars equipped with ASC+T or DSC, the system must be deactivated with the switch. ASC+T/DSC indicator lamp in instrument cluster must light up.

The brakes must be at normal operating temperature. To achieve this, brake the car several times to slightly warm and dry brake disks and drums.

On E65, carry out function check on parking brake.

Check tires for damage. Check tire treads and pressures.
