Vehicle equipment
This Owner's Manual describes all models and all standard, country-specific and optional equipment that is offered in the model series. Therefore, in this Owner's Manual, equipment is also described and illustrated that is not available in your vehicle, e.g., because of the selected optional equipment or the countryspecific variants.

For your own safety
Warranty
Your vehicle is technically configured for the operating conditions and registration require ments applying in the country of first delivery - homologation. If your vehicle is to be operated in a different country it might be necessary to adapt your vehicle to potentially differing oper ating conditions and permit requirements. If your vehicle does not comply with the homolo gation requirements in a certain country you cannot lodge warranty claims for your vehicle there. Further information can be obtained from your Service Centre.
Maintenance and repairs
Advanced technology, e.g., the use of modern materials and high-performance electronics, requires suitable maintenance and repair methods.
Therefore, have this work performed only by a BMW center or a workshop that works accord ing to BMW repair procedures with appropri ately trained personnel.
If this work is not carried out properly, there is the danger of subsequent damage and related safety hazards.
Parts and accessories
BMW recommends using parts and accesso ries approved by BMW for this purpose.
Your BMW center is the right contact for genu ine BMW parts and accessories, other prod ucts approved by BMW and related qualified advice.
BMW has tested these products for safety and suitability in relation to BMW vehicles.
BMW can assume responsibility for them. However, we cannot assume any responsibility whatsoever for parts and accessories that have not been specifically approved by BMW.
BMW cannot evaluate whether each individual product from another manufacturer can be used with BMW vehicles without presenting a safety hazard. This guarantee is also not appli cable when country-specific government ap proval has been granted. Testing of this kind may fail to embrace the entire range of poten tial operating conditions to which components might be exposed on BMW vehicles. Such products could conceivably fail to comply with BMW's own stringent quality standards.
California Proposition 65 Warning
California laws require us to state the following warning:
Engine exhaust and a wide variety of automo bile components and parts, including compo nents found in the interior furnishings in a vehi cle, 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 repro ductive harm. Battery posts, terminals and re lated accessories contain lead and lead com pounds. 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.

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 con ditions and homologation requirements in your country and continental region in order to de liver 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 ve hicle to meet different prevailing operating conditions and homologation 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.

Data memory
Many electronic components on your vehicle are equipped with data memories that tempo rarily or permanently store technical informa tion about the condition of the vehicle, events and faults. This technical information generally documents the state of a component, a mod ule, a system or the environment:
Operating states of system components, fill levels for instance.
Status messages for the vehicle and from its individual components, e.g., wheel rota tion speed/ vehicle speed, deceleration, transverse acceleration.
Malfunctions and faults in important sys tem components, e.g., lights and brakes.
Responses by the vehicle to special situa tions, e.g., deployment of an airbag, en gagement of stability control systems.
Ambient conditions, such as temperature.
This data is purely technical in nature and is used to detect and correct faults and to opti mize vehicle functions. Motion profiles over routes traveled cannot be created from this data. When service offerings are used, e.g., re pair services, service processes, warranty claims, quality assurance, this technical infor mation can be read out from the event and fault memories by the service personnel, in cluding the manufacturer, using special diag nostic tools. You can obtain further information there if it is needed. After a fault is corrected, the information in the fault memory is deleted or overwritten on a continuous basis.
When the vehicle is in use, situations are con ceivable in which it might be possible to asso ciate this technical data with individuals if it is combined with other information, e.g., an acci dent report, damage to the vehicle, eye wit

ness accounts — possibly with the assistance of an expert.
Additional functions that are contractually agreed with the customer, such as vehicle lo cating in an emergency, enable certain vehicle data to be transmitted from the vehicle.
Event Data Recorder EDR
This vehicle is equipped with an event data re corder EDR. The main purpose of an EDR is to record, in certain crash or near crash-like situa tions, such as an air bag deployment or hitting a road obstacle, data that will assist in under standing how a vehicle’s systems performed. The EDR is designed to record data related to vehicle dynamics and safety systems for a short period of time, typically 30 seconds or less.
The EDR in this vehicle is designed to record such data as:
How various systems in your vehicle were operating.
Whether or not the driver and passenger safety belts were fastened.
How far, if at all, the driver was depressing the accelerator and/or brake pedal.
How fast the vehicle was traveling.
These data can help provide a better under standing of the circumstances in which crashes and injuries occur.
EDR data are recorded by your vehicle only if a nontrivial crash situation occurs; no data are recorded by the EDR under normal driving conditions and no personal data, e.g., name, gender, age, and crash location, are recorded.
However, other parties, such as law enforce ment, could combine the EDR data with the type of personally identifying data routinely ac quired during a crash investigation.
To read data recorded by an EDR, special equipment is required, and access to the vehi cle or the EDR is needed. In addition to the ve
hicle manufacturer, other parties, such as law enforcement, that have the special equipment, can read the information if they have access to the vehicle or the EDR.
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 in jury or death, you should immediately inform the National Highway Traffic Safety Adminis tration NHTSA, in addition to notifying BMW of North America, LLC, P.O. Box 1227, West wood, 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 dealer, 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., Washing ton, DC 20590. You can also obtain other in formation about motor vehicle safety from http://www.safercar.gov.
For Canadian customers
Canadian customers who wish to report a safety-related defect to Transport Canada, De fect Investigations and Recalls, may telephone the toll-free hotline 1-800-333-0510. You can also obtain other information about motor vehi cle safety from http://www.tc.gc.ca/roadsafety.
