Further information is available from a Service
Partner or a qualified specialist workshop.
Maintenance and repair
Advanced technology behind this vehicle, for
example the use of modern materials and high-
performance electronics, necessitates adapted
methods of maintenance and repair.
The manufacturer of the vehicle recommends
having respective work carried out by a BMW
Service Partner or a qualified specialist work‐
shop. Qualified specialist workshop in this
Owner's Handbook refers to a workshop carry‐
ing out respective work, e.g. maintenance and
repair, according to BMW specifications with
respectively trained personnel.
If such work, e.g maintenance and repair, is
performed inexpertly, it could result in conse‐
quential damage and thus constitute a safety
risk.

Parts and accessories

BMW recommends using parts and accessory
products that are approved by BMW and thus
categorised as suitable.
The manufacturer of your vehicle recommends
to consult with a BMW Service Partner prior to
purchasing spare parts, operating materials or
accessories. The BMW Service Partner in‐
forms about genuine BMW parts and accesso‐
ries, other BMW approved products and offers
expert advice on all related matters.
The safety and compatibility of genuine BMW
parts and accessories in conjunction with
BMW vehicles have been checked by BMW.
BMW accepts product liability for them. On the
other hand, BMW cannot accept liability for un‐
suitable parts or accessory products of any
kind.
BMW does not evaluate each individual prod‐
uct of outside origin as to its suitability for use
on BMW vehicles without safety risk. BMW
does not evaluate the suitability of products,
even if a country-specific official approval was

products are suitable for BMW vehicles under
all usage conditions.
Data memory
Many of the electronic components of your ve‐
hicle contain data memories, which save tech‐
nical information on vehicle condition, events
and errors temporarily or permanently. This
technical information documents the condition
of a component, a module, a system or its en‐
vironment:
▷ Operating states of system components,
for example, fill levels.
▷ Status messages of the vehicle and indi‐
vidual components, for example, wheel ro‐
tation number/speed, movement delay,
transverse acceleration.
▷ Malfunctions and faults of important sys‐
tem components, for example, lights and
brakes.
▷ Responses of the vehicle to special driving
situations, for example, triggering of an air‐
bag, using the stability control systems.
▷ Ambient conditions, for example, tempera‐
ture.
This data is only of a technical nature and is for
detecting and rectifying faults and optimisation
of vehicle functions. Movement profiles over
driven routes cannot be created from this data.
When servicing, for example, during repairs,
service processes, warranty cases or quality
assurance, this technical information can be
read by employees of the Service Partner or a
qualified specialist workshop, including the
manufacturer, from the event and fault data
memories with special diagnostic tools. There,
you will receive further information as needed.
After rectifying the fault, the information in the
fault memory is deleted or continuously over‐
written.
When using the vehicle, situations are conceiv‐
able in which this technical data can be per‐
