Status at time of printing
The high safety and quality standards of
BMW vehicles are maintained by
unceasing development work on
designs, equipment and accessories.
Because of this, your car may differ
from the information supplied in the
Owner's Handbook. Nor can errors and
omissions be entirely ruled out. You are
therefore asked to appreciate that no
legal claims can be entertained on the
basis of the data, illustrations or
descriptions in this Owner's Handbook.
In cars with right-hand drive,
some controls will be located dif-
ferently from those illustrated in this
Owner's Handbook.
<
For your own safety
Use only parts and accessory
products which BMW has
approved for your car.
Parts and products which BMW has
approved for your car have been
checked for safety, function and suita-
bility. BMW accepts product liability for
them.
BMW cannot accept liability for parts or
accessory products of any kind which it
has not approved.
BMW is unable to assess each individ-
ual product of outside origin as to its
suitability for use on BMW vehicles
without safety risk. Nor can any such
warranty be granted if an official
inspection authority in your country has
approved the product (for example by
issuing a general operating permit), or if
the German TÜV has approved it for
use in this country. These agencies'
tests cannot always take into account
the full range of operating conditions
applicable to BMW vehicles and may
therefore be inadequate.
In short, the functional efficiency or
road safety of your BMW, and also its
value, may be affected if its specifica-
tion is altered by installing parts not
approved for it. Original BMW parts and
accessories, other BMW-approved
products and competent advice on all
related matters are obtainable from
BMW Service.
