Maintenance and repairs
Advanced technology, e.g., the use of modern materials and high-performance electronics, requires suitable maintenance and repair work.
Basic information
The manufacturer of your vehicle pursues a policy of constant development that is con ceived to ensure that our vehicles continue to embody the highest quality and safety stand
The manufacturer of the vehicle recommends that you entrust corresponding procedures to a BMW dealer’s service center. If you choose to use another service facility, BMW recom mends use of a facility that performs work, e.g.
7
Online Edition for Part no. 01 40 2 970 518 - II/16
Information
maintenance and repair, according to BMW specifications with properly trained personnel, referred to in this Owner's Manual as "another qualified service center or repair shop".
If work is performed improperly, e.g. mainte nance and repair, there is a risk of subsequent damage and related safety risks.
Parts and accessories
BMW recommends the use of parts and ac cessory products approved by BMW.
Approved parts and accessories, and advice on their use and installation are available from a BMW dealer's service center.
BMW parts and accessories were tested by BMW for their safety and suitability in BMW vehicles.
BMW warrants genuine BMW parts and acces sories.
BMW does not evaluate whether each individ ual 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.
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.
Service and warranty
We recommend that you read this publication thoroughly. Your vehicle is covered by the fol lowing warranties:
New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
Rust Perforation Limited Warranty.
Federal Emissions System Defect War ranty.
Federal Emissions Performance Warranty.
California Emission Control System Lim ited 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 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.
Maintenance
Maintain the vehicle regularly to sustain the road safety, operational reliability and the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
Specifications for required maintenance meas ures:

Information
Warranty and Service Guide Booklet for Canadian models
If the vehicle is not maintained according to these specifications, this could result in seri ous damage to the vehicle. Such damage is not covered by the BMW New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
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 records the state of a component, a module, a system or the environment:
Operating mode of system components, fill levels for instance.
Status messages for the vehicle and from its individual components, for example, wheel rotation speed/vehicle speed, decel eration, transverse acceleration.
Malfunctions and faults in important sys tem components, for example, lights and brakes.
Responses by the vehicle to special situa tions such as airbag deployment or engag ing the stability control system.
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, for ex ample, repair services, service processes, war ranty claims, quality assurance, this technical information can be read out from the event and fault memories by employees of the dealer’s service center or another qualified service cen ter or repair shop, including the manufacturer, using special diagnostic tools. You can obtain further information there if you need it. After an error is corrected, the information in the fault
memory is deleted or overwritten on a continu ous basis.
With the vehicle in use there are situations where you can associate these technical data with individuals if combined with other infor mation, for example, an accident report, dam age to the vehicle, eye witness accounts — possibly with the assistance of an expert.
Additional functions that are contractually agreed with the customer - such as vehicle emergency locating - you can transmit certain vehicle data 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.
9
Online Edition for Part no. 01 40 2 970 518 - II/16
Information
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.
Vehicle identification number
The vehicle identification number can be found in the engine compartment.
The vehicle identification number can also be found behind the windshield.
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.
