Owner's Handbook for Vehicle
Congratulations on your choice of a BMW.
The better you are acquainted with your car, the easier you will
find it is to handle. We would therefore like to offer you the
following advice:
Please read the Owner’s Handbook before setting out in your new
BMW. Also use the integrated Owner’s Handbook in your vehicle.
It contains important notes on how to operate the car, enabling
you to derive maximum benefit from the technical advantages of
your BMW. It also contains useful information which will help you
to uphold both your BMW’s operating safety and its full resale
value.
Updates to the printed or integrated Owner's Handbook after go‐
ing to press are located as needed in the appendix to the printed
quick reference to the vehicle.
Supplementary information is provided in the other documents of

We wish you a safe and enjoyable journey,

Should you require any further information,
please contact your Service centre, who will be
pleased to advise you.

Symbol for components and
assemblies
Recommends that you study this section of
this Owner’s Handbook in connection with a
particular part or assembly.
Your individual vehicle
You have decided in favour of a vehicle with in‐
dividual equipment.
This Owner’s Handbook describes all models
and equipment specifications which are avail‐
able within this particular model line.
This means it can contain equipment variations
that you might not have selected.
Differences, and thus all options, are marked
with an asterisk *.
If certain equipment and models are not descri‐
bed in this Owner’s Handbook, refer to the Sup‐
plementary Owner’s Handbooks provided.
In right-hand drive vehicles, some of the con‐
trols are arranged differently from those shown
in the illustrations.
Built-date*
The 'built-date' of your vehicle is indicated un‐
derneath the door post on the driver's door.
The ‘built-date’ is defined as ‘the calendar
month and the calendar year in which the body
shell and the powertrain subassemblies are con‐
joined and the vehicle is driven or moved from
the production line’.
Status of the Owner's
Handbook
The high level of safety and quality of vehicles is
ensured by continuous enhancement. In rare in‐
stances, your car may therefore differ from the
information supplied here.

Updates after going to press
Updates to the Owner's Handbook after going
to press are found in the appendix of the printed
quick reference to the vehicle.
Your own safety
Your vehicle is configured for the operating con‐
ditions and registration requirements of your
country. If the vehicle is to be operated in an‐
other country, your vehicle must be adapted to
any prevailing different operating conditions
and permit requirements. Information on possi‐
ble exclusion of warranty or warranty restrictions
for your vehicle can be obtained from your Serv‐
ice centre.
Maintenance and repair
The advanced technology behind this car, for
example the use of modern materials and highperformance electronics, means that adapted
methods of maintenance and repair are re‐
quired.
Always have the corresponding work performed
either by a BMW Service centre or by a work‐
shop that operates to BMW specifications and
has suitably trained personnel.
If such work is performed inexpertly, it could re‐
sult in consequential damage and thus consti‐
tute a safety risk.
BMW is unable to assess each individual prod‐
uct of outside origin as to its suitability for use
on BMW vehicles without safety risk. Nor can
suitability be assured if an official permit has
been issued for it in a specific country. Tests
performed for such permits cannot always cover
all operating conditions for BMW vehicles, and
some of them therefore are insufficient.
Parts and accessories
BMW recommends using parts and accessory
products that are specifically approved for this
purpose by BMW.
You are recommended to consult a BMW Serv‐
ice centre for advice on genuine BMW parts and
accessories, other BMW approved products
and competent advice on all related matters.
The safety and compatibility of these products
in conjunction with BMW vehicles have been
checked by BMW.
BMW accepts product liability for them. BMW
cannot accept liability for parts or accessory
products of any kind which it has not approved.
