SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. BMW’s Petition: Pursuant to 49
U.S.C. 30118(d) and 30120(h) (see
implementing rule at 49 CFR part 556),
BMW submitted a petition for an
exemption from the notification and
remedy requirements of 49 U.S.C.
Chapter 301 on the basis that this
noncompliance is inconsequential to
motor vehicle safety.
This notice of receipt of BMW’s
petition is published under 49 U.S.C.

30118 and 30120 and does not represent
any agency decision or other exercise of
judgment concerning the merits of the
petition.
II. Vehicles Involved: Affected are
approximately 68 MY 2015 BMW model
X5 xDrive35i and model X5 xDrive35d
MPVs manufactured between October 3,
2014 through October 7, 2014.
III. Noncompliance: BMW explains
that the vehicle certification labels
required by 49 CFR part 567, and some
of the tire information labels required by
FMVSS No. 110, affixed to the subject
vehicles show that vehicles were
originally equipped with 18-inch tires
and rims. The vehicles were actually
originally quipped with 19-inch tires
and rims. BMW believes that the
noncompliance is that the certification
label required by 49 CFR part 567, and
in some cases the tire information labels
required by FMVSS No. 110, do not list
rim information for the tires installed on
the vehicles as original equipment as
required by paragraph S4.3.3 of FMVSS
No. 110.
Rule Text: Paragraph S4.3.3 of FMVSS
No. 110 requires in pertinent part:
S4.3.3 Additional labeling information
for vehicles other than passenger cars. Each
vehicle shall show the size designation and,
if applicable, the type designation of rims
(not necessarily those on the vehicle)
appropriate for the tire appropriate for use on
that vehicle, including the tire installed as
original equipment on the vehicle by the
vehicle manufacturer, after each GAWR
listed on the certification label required by
§ 567.4 or § 567.5 of this chapter . . .

V. Summary of BMW’s Analyses:
BMW stated its belief that the subject
noncompliance is inconsequential to
motor vehicle safety for the following
reasons:
In the case of the subject vehicles
with an incorrect Part 567 certification
label but a correct FMVSS No. 110 tire
information label, BMW states that
when a person checks or adjusts the
inflation of a tire and uses this (correct)
FMVSS No. 110 tire information label,
the person will have the correct
inflation pressure available from that
label. If, however, the person only looks
at the certification label, or both the
certification and tire information labels,
BMW states that the person may then
become unsure of what tires have been
installed on the vehicle. Should this
occur, BMW states that a number of
information sources and services are
available which can be used to
determine the correct tire size and
recommended cold inflation pressure.
BMW states that these information
sources include the tires installed on the
vehicle which have the tire size
information contained on their
