Your Individual Vehicle; For Your Own Safety; Parts And Accessories; Status At Time Of Printing - BMW 320i Owner's Handbook Manual

Your individual vehicle

When you ordered your BMW, you chose vari-
ous items of equipment. This Owner's Hand-
book describes all models and equipment
specifications which BMW offers within this
particular model line.
This explains why the Owner's Handbook may
also contain details of items which you have not
ordered. The differences can easily be identi-
*
fied by the asterisk shown against optional
extras.
Should your BMW feature equipment which is
not described in this Owner's Handbook,
please refer to the Supplementary Owner's
Handbooks supplied with your vehicle.
In vehicles with right-hand drive, some of
the controls are arranged differently from
those shown in the illustrations of this Owner's
Handbook.<

Status at time of printing

The high safety and quality standards of BMW
vehicles are maintained by unceasing develop-
ment work on designs, equipment and acces-
sories. In rare instances, your car may therefore
differ from the information supplied in the
Owner's Handbook.

For your own safety

Maintenance and repair
The advanced technology behind this car,
for example the use of modern materials
and high-performance electronics, means that
specially adapted methods of maintenance and
repair are required. Always have the necessary
work on your BMW performed either by BMW
Service or by a workshop that operates to BMW
specifications and has suitably trained person-
nel. If such work is performed inexpertly, it could
result in consequential damage and thus con-
stitute a safety risk.<

Parts and accessories

BMW recommends using parts and
accessory products on this vehicle that
are specifically approved for this purpose by
BMW.
You are recommended to consult BMW Service
for advice on Genuine BMW parts and accesso-
ries, other BMW-approved products and com-
petent advice on all related matters.
The safety, function and suitability of these
parts and products have been checked by
BMW. BMW accepts product liability for them.
BMW cannot accept liability for parts or acces-
sory products of any kind which it has not
approved.
BMW is unable to assess each individual prod-
uct of outside origin as to its suitability for use
on BMW vehicles without safety risk. This suit-
ability cannot be guaranteed even if an official
permit has been issued for the particular prod-
uct 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.<
