Vehicle equipment
This Owner's Manual describes all models and all series-specific equipment, country-specific equipment, and optional equipment that is offered in the series. For this reason, this Owner's Manual also describes and illustrates some equipment that may not be available in your vehicle, for example due to the special options or national-market version selected.
This also applies to safety related functions and systems.
If equipment and models are not described in this Owner's Manual, please consult the accompanying Supplementary Owner's Hand­books.
Status of this Owner's Manual at time of printing
BMW pursues a policy of continuous, ongoing development that is conceived to ensure that our vehicles continue to embody the highest quality and safety standards combined with advanced, state-of-the-art technology. For this reason, it is possible in exceptional cases that features described in this Owner's Manual could differ from those on your vehicle.
Updates after press date
Updates after press date for the Owner's Man­uals, when necessary, are issued as appendices to the printed Quick Reference Guide for the vehicle.
For your own safety
Maintenance and repair
Advanced technology, e.g. the use of
modern materials and powerful electron­ics, requires specially adapted maintenance and repair methods. You should therefore have the corresponding work on your vehicle per­formed only by your BMW center or at a work-
shop that works according to BMW repair pro­cedures with correspondingly trained personnel. If this work is not carried out prop­erly, there is a danger of subsequent damage and related safety hazards.<
Parts and accessories
For your own safety, use genuine parts and accessories approved by BMW.
When you purchase accessories tested and approved by BMW and Original BMW Parts, you simultaneously acquire the assurance that they have been thoroughly tested by BMW to ensure optimum performance when installed on your vehicle.
BMW warrants these parts to be free from defects in material and workmanship.
BMW will not accept any liability for damage resulting from installation of parts and accesso­ries not approved by BMW.
BMW cannot test every product made by other manufacturers to verify if it can be used on a BMW safely and without risk to either the vehi­cle, its operation, or its occupants.
Original BMW Parts, BMW Accessories and other products approved by BMW, together with professional advice on using these items, are available from all BMW centers.
Installation and operation of accessories not approved by BMW, such as alarms, radios, amplifiers, radar detectors, wheels, suspension components, brake dust shields, telephones, including operation of any mobile phone from within the vehicle without using an externally mounted antenna, or transceiver equipment, for instance, CBs, walkie-talkies, ham radio or sim­ilar accessories, may cause extensive damage to the vehicle, compromise its safety, interfere with the vehicle's electrical system or affect the validity of the BMW Limited Warranty. See your BMW center for additional information.<
Maintenance, replacement, or repair of the emission control devices and sys-
tems may be performed by any automotive

California Proposition 65 warning
California law requires us to issue the following warning:
Engine exhaust and a wide variety of
automobile components and parts, including components found in the interior fur­nishings in a vehicle, contain or emit chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects and reproductive harm. In addition, certain fluids contained in vehicles and certain products of component wear contain or emit chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Battery posts, terminals and related accesso­ries contain lead and lead compounds. Wash your hands after handling.
Used engine oil contains chemicals that have caused cancer in laboratory animals. Always protect your skin by washing thoroughly with soap and water.<
Service and warranty
We recommend that you read this publication thoroughly.
Your BMW is covered by the following warran­ties:
> New Vehicle Limited Warranty
> Rust Perforation Limited Warranty
> Federal Emissions System Defect Warranty
> Federal Emissions Performance Warranty
> California Emission Control System Limited
Warranty
Detailed information about these warranties is listed in the Service and Warranty Information Booklet for US models or in the Warranty and Service Guide Booklet for Canadian models.
Your vehicle has been specifically adapted and designed to meet the particular operating con­ditions and registration requirements in your country and continental region in order to deliver the full driving pleasure while the vehicle is operated under those conditions. If you wish to operate your vehicle in another country or region, you may be required to adapt your vehi­cle to meet different prevailing operating condi­tions and registration requirements. You should also be aware of any applicable warranty limita­tions or exclusions for such country or region. In such case, please contact Customer Relations for further information.

If the vehicle is not maintained according to these specifications, this could result in serious damage to th e veh icle . Suc h dam age is n ot co v­ered by the BMW New Vehicle Limited War­ranty.
Data memory
A variety of electronic components in your vehi­cle include data storage devices, which store technical information on the condition of your vehicle, events and errors, either temporarily or permanently. In general, this technical informa­tion documents the condition of a component, a module, a system or the surroundings:
> Operating conditions of system compo-
nents, e.g., fill levels.
> Status messages regarding the vehicle and
of its individual components, such as wheel rpm/vehicle speed, response delay, lateral acceleration.
> Malfunctions and defects in the major sys-
tem components, such as the lights and brakes.
> Responses of the vehicle in special driving
situations, such as the deployment of an air­bag, the utilization of stability control sys­tems.
> Environmental conditions, such as temper-
ature.
These data are exclusively of a technical nature and are used for the detection and correction of errors, as well as the optimization of vehicle functions. Motion profiles of traveled routes can not be deduced from these data. If services are required, such as repair services, service pro­cesses, warranty claims and quality assurance, then this technical information can be read out by employees of service departments, includ­ing the manufacturer, from the event and error data storage devices by using special diagnos­tic equipment. There, if necessary, you will receive further information. After remedying an
error, the information in the error memory is deleted or progressively overwritten.
When using the vehicle, situations are conceiv­able in which this technical data, in conjunction with other information, such as accident reports, vehicle damage, witness statements, etc. - possibly with the assistance of an expert ­could be traced to particular individuals.
Additional functions that are agreed upon con­tractually with the customer, such as vehicle tracking in case of emergency, permit the trans­mission of certain vehicle data from the vehicle.
Reporting safety defects
For US customers
The following only applies to vehicles owned and operated in the US.
If you believe that your vehicle has a defect which could cause a crash or could cause injury or death, you should immediately inform the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, NHTSA, in addition to notifying BMW of North America, LLC, P.O. Box 1227, Westwood, New Jersey 07675-1227, Telephone 1-800-831-
1117.
If NHTSA receives similar complaints, it may open an investigation, and if it finds that a safety defect exists in a group of vehicles, it may order a recall and remedy campaign. However, NHTSA cannot become involved in individual problems between you, your center, or BMW of North America, LLC.
To contact NHTSA, you may call the Vehicle Safety Hotline toll-free at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY: 1-800-424-9153); go to http://www.safercar.gov; or write to: administra­tor, NHTSA, 400 Seventh Street, SW., Wash­ington, DC 20590. You can also obtain other information about motor vehicle safety from http://www.safercar.gov
