We must therefore request your understand-
ing of the fact that the manufacturer of
your vehicle is unable to recognise legal
claims based on discrepancies between the
data, illustrations and descriptions in this Own-
er's Handbook and your own vehicle's equip-
ment. Please note, too, that some of the op-
tional equipment described in this Owner's
Handbook is not available on Australian mod-
els due to restrictions imposed by Australian
Design Rules and other requirements.
Should you require any further information,
please contact your Service Partner or a quali-

Validity of Owner's Handbook
Vehicle production
When the vehicle leaves the factory, the con-
tents of the printed Owner's Handbook are
up to date. Any updates introduced after the
copy deadline may result in discrepancies be-
tween the printed Owner's Handbook and the
Integrated Owner's Handbook in the vehicle.
Notes on updates can be found in the appen-
dix of the printed Owner's Handbook for the
vehicle.

After a vehicle software update, for example,
via Remote Software Upgrade, the Integrated

Your own safety
Intended use
Please comply with the following when using
the vehicle:
▷Owner's Handbook.
▷Information attached to the vehicle. Do not
remove stickers.
▷Technical data of the vehicle.
▷The applicable laws and safety standards
of the country in which the vehicle is used.
▷Vehicle papers and legal documents.
Warranty
The vehicle is technically designed for the
operating conditions and approval (homologa-
tion) requirements of the country to which it
was first delivered. If the vehicle is to be driven
in another country, it may need to first be
adapted to any different operating conditions
and approval requirements prevailing in that
country. If the vehicle does not comply with the
homologation requirements in a certain coun-

for the vehicle. Warranty claims may also be
invalidated if the electrical system has been
modified, for example through the use of con-
trol units, hardware, or software which the ve-
hicle manufacturer classifies as unsuitable. A
Service Partner is able to provide further infor-
mation.
Note: in addition to the warranty required by
law, the selling Authorised BMW Retailers or
the selling BMW AG subsidiaries in Germany
grant additional benefits with the purchase of
new BMW vehicles within the framework of
the BMW Warranty Booklet. More information:

Maintenance and repairs
The advanced technology used in your vehicle,
for example the state-of-the-art materials and
high-performance electronics, requires appro-
priate maintenance and repair methods.
Consequently, the manufacturer of the vehicle
recommends having relevant work carried out
by a BMW Service Partner. If you choose to
use a different specialist workshop, BMW rec-
ommends using one that performs the corre-
