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 high-
performance 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.

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.

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.
