Owner's Manual.
Thank you for choosing a BMW.
The more familiar you are with the vehicle, the better control you will have
on the road. We therefore strongly suggest the following:
Read this Owner's Manual before starting off in your new BMW. Also
use the Integrated Owner's Manual in the vehicle. It contains important
notes on vehicle operation that will help you make full use of the technical
features available in your BMW. The manual also contains information designed to enhance operating reliability and traffic safety, and to contribute
to maintaining the value of your BMW.
At the time of production at the plant, the printed Owner's Manual is the
most current resource. After a vehicle software update – such as a Remote Software Upgrade – the Integrated Owner's Manual for the vehicle
will contain the latest information.
You can find supplementary information in the additional brochures in the
onboard literature.
We wish you a safe and enjoyable ride.

the features and options applicable to the vehicle.
Status of the Owner's Manual
Basic information
The manufacturer of the vehicle pursues a policy of constant development to ensure that our
vehicles continue to embody the highest quality and safety standards. In rare cases, therefore, the features described in this Owner's
Manual may deviate from those in the vehicle.

For Your Own Safety
Intended use
Heed the following when using the vehicle:
▷ Owner's Manual.
▷ Information on the vehicle. Do not remove
stickers.
▷ Technical vehicle data.
▷ The traffic, speed, and safety laws where
the vehicle is driven.
▷ Vehicle documents and statutory docu-
ments.
Warranty
The vehicle is technically configured for the
operating conditions and registration requirements applicable in the country of first delivery,
also known as homologation. If the vehicle is
to be operated in a different country it might
be necessary to adapt the vehicle to potentially
differing operating conditions and registration
requirements. Noncompliance with homologation requirements in a certain country may
affect warranty coverage. Please consult the
New Vehicle Limited Warranty Booklet for further information on warranty matters.
Maintenance and repairs
Advanced technology, for instance the use of
modern materials and high-performance electronics, requires suitable maintenance and repair work.
The vehicle manufacturer therefore recommends having necessary work performed by
an authorized service center, e.g., a BMW
dealer or service center. If a different repair
shop is selected, BMW recommends selecting a workshop that performs the appropriate
work such as maintenance and repair according to BMW specifications with properly trained
personnel. In the Owner's Manual, such works
are referred to as "another qualified authorized
service center or repair shop".
If work is not carried out properly, for instance
maintenance and repair, there is a risk of subsequent damages and related safety risks.
Improperly performed work on the vehicle
paintwork can lead to a failure or fault of components, e.g., the radar sensors, and thereby
result in a safety hazard.
Parts and accessories
BMW recommends the use of parts and accessory products approved by BMW.
Approved parts and accessories, and advice
on their use and installation are available from
an authorized service center.
BMW parts and accessories have been tested
by BMW for their safety and suitability in BMW
vehicles.
BMW warrants genuine BMW parts and accessories.
BMW does not evaluate whether each individual product from another manufacturer can be
used with BMW vehicles without presenting a
safety hazard, even if a country-specific official
approval was issued. BMW does not evaluate
whether these products are suitable for BMW
vehicles under all usage conditions.

Data memory
General information
Electronic control devices are installed in the
vehicle. Electronic control units process data
they receive from vehicle sensors, self-generate or exchange with each other. Some control units are necessary for the vehicle to function safely or provide assistance during driving,
for instance driver assistance systems. Furthermore, control units facilitate comfort or infotainment functions.
Information about stored or exchanged data
can be requested from the manufacturer of the
vehicle, in a separate booklet, for example.
Personal reference
Each vehicle is marked with a unique vehicle
identification number. Depending on the country, the vehicle owner can be identified with the
vehicle identification number, license plate and
corresponding authorities. In addition, there
are other options to track data collected in the
vehicle to the driver or vehicle owner, such as
via the ConnectedDrive account that is used.
Operating data in the vehicle
Control units process data to operate the vehicle.
For example, this includes:
Status messages for the vehicle and its
▷
individual components, e.g., wheel RPM,
wheel speed, deceleration, lateral acceleration, engaged seat belt indicator.
▷ Ambient conditions, e.g., temperature, rain
sensor signals.
The processed data is only processed in the
vehicle itself while the vehicle is being operated. Data is not stored beyond the operating
time.
Electronic components, e.g. control units and
vehicle keys, contain components for storing
technical information. Information about the
vehicle condition, component usage, maintenance recommendations, events or faults can
be stored temporarily or permanently.
This information generally documents the
state of a component, a module, a system, or
the surrounding area, for instance:
▷ Operating states of system components,
such as fill levels, tire pressure, battery status.
▷ Malfunctions and faults in important sys-
tem components, for instance lights and
brakes.
▷ Responses by the vehicle to special driving
situations such as airbag deployment or
engagement of the driving stability control
systems.
▷ Information on vehicle-damaging events.
The data is required to perform the control unit
functions. Furthermore, it also serves to detect
and correct malfunctions, and helps the vehicle
manufacturer to optimize vehicle functions.
The majority of this data is stored temporarily
and is only processed within the vehicle itself.
In some circumstances the vehicle may store
some data for an additional but limited period
of time.
When servicing, for instance during repairs,
service processes, warranty cases, and quality
assurance measures, this technical informa-

tion can be read out from the vehicle together
with the vehicle identification number.
An authorized service center or another qualified service center or repair shop can read
out the information. The diagnostic socket required by law in the vehicle is used to read out
data.
The data is collected, processed, and used
by the relevant organizations in the service
network. The data documents technical conditions of the vehicle, which can be used to determine vehicle maintenance status, and facilitate quality improvement.
Vehicle fault and event memories can be reset by an authorized service center or another
qualified service center or repair shop when
performing repair or servicing work.
Data entry and data transfer into

▷
photos for playback in an integrated multimedia system.
▷ Address book data for use in conjunction
with an integrated hands-free system or an
integrated navigation system.
▷ Entered navigation destinations.
▷ Data on the use of Internet services.
This data can be stored locally in the vehicle or
is found on a device that has been connected
to the vehicle, e.g., a smartphone, USB stick or
MP3 player. If this data is stored in the vehicle,
it can be deleted at any time.
This data is only transmitted to third parties
upon personal request as part of the use of online services. The transmission depends on the
selected settings for the use of the services.
Incorporation of mobile devices
Depending on the vehicle equipment, mobile
devices connected to the vehicle, for instance
smartphones, can be controlled via the vehicle
control elements.
The sound and picture from the mobile devices can be played back and displayed through
the multimedia system. Certain information is
transferred to the mobile devices at the same
time. Depending on the type of incorporation,
this includes, for instance, position data and
other general vehicle information. This optimizes the way in which selected apps, for instance navigation or music playback, work.
There is no further interaction between the
mobile device and the vehicle, such as active
access to vehicle data.
How the data will be processed further is determined by the provider of the particular app
being used. The extent of the possible settings
depends on the respective app and the operating system of the mobile device.
Services
General information
If the vehicle has a wireless network connection, it will enable data to be exchanged between the vehicle and other systems. The
wireless network connection is realized via an

services. Data is exchanged over a secure connection, for instance with the IT systems of the
vehicle manufacturer intended for this purpose.
Any collection, processing, and use of personal
data above and beyond that needed to provide the services must always be based on a
legal permission, contractual arrangement or
consent. It is also possible to activate or deactivate the data connection as a whole. This excludes functions and services required by law
such as Assist systems.
Services from other providers
When using online services from other providers, these services are the responsibility of the
relevant provider and subject to their data privacy conditions and terms of use. The vehicle
manufacturer has no influence on the content
exchanged during this process. Information on
the way in which personal data is collected and
used in relation to services from third parties,
the scope of such data, and its purpose, can
be obtained from the relevant service provider.
Event Data Recorder (EDR)
sist in understanding 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 the vehicle were
operating.
▷ Whether or not the driver and passenger
seat belts were fastened.
▷ How far, if at all, the driver was depressing
the accelerator and/or brake pedal.
▷ How fast the vehicle was traveling.
This data can help provide a better understanding of the circumstances in which
crashes and injuries occur.
EDR data is recorded by the vehicle only if a
nontrivial crash situation occurs; no data is recorded by the EDR under normal driving conditions and no personal data, for instance name,
gender, age, and crash location, are recorded.
However, other parties, such as law enforcement, could combine the EDR data with the
type of personally identifying data routinely acquired during a crash investigation.
To read data recorded by an EDR, special
equipment is required, and access to the vehicle or the EDR is needed. In addition to the vehicle 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.

BMW ID/driver profiles
Principle
In ConnectedDrive countries, the BMW ID is
the personal login for all relevant offers for the
BMW brand. The BMW ID can be used in the
vehicle to store and activate personal vehicle
settings.
In non-ConnectedDrive countries, the personal
vehicle settings can be stored in driver profiles.
General information
The BMW ID must be registered once. A BMW
ID can be registered via the BMW app, in the
ConnectedDrive Portal, or with an authorized
service center.
A driver profile is created in the vehicle.
If a vehicle is used by several people, each
person can create their own BMW ID or driver
profile in order to save their personal settings.
If a BMW ID or driver profile is activated, the
settings stored for it are applied in the vehicle.
Many of the settings that are stored for a BMW
ID in the vehicle can be synchronized with the
BMW Cloud. This makes these settings available in any vehicle where the same BMW ID is
used to log in.
The vehicle can store seven BMW IDs or seven
driver profiles.
A BMW ID or driver profile can be activated
while unlocking. For this purpose, the driver
recognition must be assigned to the BMW ID
or the driver profile via a vehicle key or a digital
key.
If no BMW ID or driver profile is activated when
the vehicle is unlocked, the vehicle loads the
guest profile.
Functional requirements
When a BMW ID or driver profile is created,
changed, deleted, or edited, the vehicle must
move no faster than at walking speed.
Logging in the vehicle with a BMW ID and
synchronization with the BMW Cloud are only
possible when the vehicle has cellular network
reception.
