Equipment

When purchasing your BMW mo-

individual equipment. This rider's

manual describes optional equip-

ment (OE) and selected optional

accessories (OA) provided by

BMW. Please make allowance

for the fact that some equip-

General instructions

ment specifications may be de-

scribed that you have not selec-

ted. Equally, country-specific de-

viations to the motorcycle shown

are also possible.

If your motorcycle has equipment

that is not described, you will find

the relevant description in a sep-

arate manual.

Technical data

All dimensions, weights and

power outputs in the rider's

manual refer to the German

standard DIN (Deutsches Institut

für Normung e. V.) and comply

with its specified tolerances.

Technical data and specifications

in this rider's manual serve as

reference points. The vehicle-

specific data may deviate from

these, for example as a result of

selected optional equipment,

the national-market version or

country-specific measuring

procedures. Detailed values

can be taken from the vehicle

registration documents and

signs on the vehicle, or can be

obtained from your authorised

BMW Motorrad Retailer or

another qualified service partner

or specialist workshop. The

specifications in the vehicle

documents always have priority

over the information provided in

this rider's manual.

Currentness

The high safety and quality level

of BMW motorcycles is ensured

by constant further development

in the areas of design, equipment

and accessories. This may res-

ult in deviations between these

operating instructions and your

motorcycle. Also, mistakes can-

not be completely excluded by

BMW Motorrad. Please therefore

understand that we do not ac-

cept any liability for claims arising

from incorrect information, draw-

ings and descriptions.

Data memory

General

Control units are installed in the

vehicle. Control units process

data that they receive, for ex-

ample, from vehicle sensors, or

that they generate themselves or

exchange between each other.

Some control units are required

for the vehicle to function safely

or provide assistance during rid-

ing, for example assistance sys-

tems. In addition, control units

enable comfort or infotainment

functions.

Information on data that has

been stored or exchanged can

be obtained from the manufac-

turer of the vehicle, for example

via a separate booklet.

Personal reference

Each vehicle is identified with a

clear vehicle identification num-

ber. Depending on the country,

the vehicle identification num-

ber, the number plate and the

corresponding authorities can

be referenced to ascertain the

vehicle owner. There are also

other ways to use data obtained

from the vehicle to trace the rider

or vehicle owner, for example

using the ConnectedDrive user

account.

Data protection rights

In accordance with applicable

data protection laws, vehicle

users have certain rights in re-

lation to the manufacturer of the

vehicle or in relation to compan-

ies which collect or process per-

sonal data.

Vehicle users have the right to

obtain full information at no cost

from persons or entities storing

personal data of the vehicle user.

These entities may include:

Manufacturer of the vehicle

Qualified service partners

Specialist workshops

Service providers

Vehicle users have the right to

request information on what per-

sonal data has been stored, for

what purpose the data is used,

and where the data comes from.

To obtain this information, proof

of ownership or use is required.

The right to information also in-

cludes information about data

that has been shared with other

companies or entities.

ufacturer contains the applicable
