Note
Some of the articles have a limited service life.
Even if you are unable to respond, the
BMW Response Center can take further
steps to help you under certain circum‐
stances.
Check the expiration dates of the contents
regularly and replace any expired items
promptly.
For this, data are transmitted to the BMW

be established.
