Simple Guide on How to Install TRAK Snow Chains

Model: BMW Serie 5 E60, E61 - Years 2003-2010
Part: Snow chains

Here is a video guide that illustrates the step-by-step installation of snow chains.
First, assemble the spacer that will prevent contact between the chains and the alloy wheel, avoiding scratches. Next, carefully apply the chains, centering them on the tread. Attach the assembled spacer to the wheel nut. Don't worry if the chain doesn't immediately go under the tire; it will settle after a few feet of driving.

To remove the chains, simply stop the car, take off the wheel protector spacer, and slide off the chain. Move the car forward a few feet, retrieve the chains, and store them.

In the video, a BMW 5 Series successfully demonstrates the installation of this set of chains.
