Warranty
Your vehicle is technically configured for the
operating conditions and registration require-
ments applicable in the country of first delivery,
also known as homologation. If your vehicle is
to be operated in a different country it might
be necessary to adapt your vehicle to poten-
tially differing operating conditions and regis-
tration requirements. Noncompliance with ho-
mologation 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 elec-
tronics, requires suitable maintenance and re-
pair work.

Information
The vehicle manufacturer therefore recom-
mends 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 select-
ing a workshop that performs the appropriate
work such as maintenance and repair accord-
ing to BMW specifications with properly trained
personnel. In the Owner's Manual, such works
are referred to as "another qualified service
center or repair shop".
If work is not carried out properly, for instance
maintenance and repair, there is a risk of sub-
sequent damages and related safety risks.
Improperly performed work on the vehicle
paintwork can lead to a failure or fault of com-
ponents, e.g., the radar sensors, and thereby
result in a safety hazard.
Parts and accessories
BMW recommends the use of parts and acces-
sory 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 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.
