Notes

For your own safety

Maintenance and repairs

Advanced technology, e.g., the use of modern materials and high-performance electronics, re‐ quires suitable maintenance and repair meth‐ ods.

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

For your own safety, use genuine parts and ac‐ cessories approved by BMW. When you pur‐ chase accessories tested and approved by BMW and Genuine BMW Parts, you simultane‐ ously 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 de‐ fects in material and workmanship. BMW will not accept any liability for damage resulting from in‐ stallation 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. Genuine BMW Parts, BMW Accessories and other prod‐ ucts approved by BMW, together with profes‐ sional advice on using these items, are available from all BMW centers. Installation and operation of non-BMW approved accessories 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 trans‐ ceiver equipment, for instance, CBs, walkietalkies, ham radios or similar accessories, may cause extensive damage to the vehicle, com‐ promise 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, re‐ placement, or repair of the emission control de‐ vices and systems may be performed by any au‐ tomotive repair establishment or individual using any certified automotive part.

Therefore, equipment is also described that is not available in a vehicle, e. g., because of the selected optional equip‐ ment or country variant.

The concept

The iDrive combines the functions of a multitude of switches. Thus, these functions can be oper‐ ated from a central location.

Using the iDrive during a trip

To avoid becoming distracted and posing an unnecessary hazard to your vehicle's occu‐ pants and to other road users, never attempt to use the controls or enter information unless traf‐ fic and road conditions allow this.◀
