Validity of the Owner's Manual
Production of the vehicle
At the time of production at the plant, the
printed Owner's Manual is the most current
resource.
Depending on the national-market version,
there may be differences between the vehicle's
printed Owner's Manual and the Integrated
Owner's Manual due to updates made after
going to print.
Notes on updates can be found in the appen-
dix of the printed Owner's Manual for the vehi-
cle.
After a software update in the vehicle
After a vehicle software update, for example,
via Remote Software Upgrade, the Integrated
Owner's Manual for the vehicle will contain the
latest information, depending on the national-
market version.
Before setting off, make sure that the
Integrated Owner's Manual is available and
up-to-date.

Information
ments applicable in the country of first delivery,
also known as homologation. If the vehicle is
to be operated in a different country it might
be necessary to adapt the vehicle to potentially
differing operating conditions and registration
requirements. Noncompliance with homologa-
tion requirements in a certain country may
affect warranty coverage. Please consult the
New Vehicle Limited Warranty Booklet for fur-
ther 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.
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 work-
shops 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.
