your vehicle does not comply with the homolo-
gation requirements in a certain country you
cannot lodge warranty claims for your vehicle
there.
Vehicle equipment
This Owner's Manual describes all models and
all series-specific equipment, country-specific
equipment, and optional equipment that is
offered in the series. For this reason, this
Owner's Manual also describes and illustrates
some equipment that may not be available in
your vehicle, for example due to the special
options or national-market version selected.
Further information can be obtained from your
service center.
Maintenance and repair
Advanced technology, e.g. the use of
modern materials and powerful electron-
ics, requires specially adapted maintenance
and repair methods. You should therefore have
the corresponding work on your vehicle per-
formed only by your BMW center or at a work-
shop that works according to BMW repair
procedures with correspondingly trained per-
sonnel. If this work is not carried out properly,
there is a danger of subsequent damage and
related safety hazards.<
This also applies to safety related functions and
systems.
If equipment and models are not described in
this Owner's Manual, please consult the
accompanying Supplementary Owner's
Handbooks.
