requirements in a certain country, no warranty
claims can be lodged there for the vehicle. War‐
ranty claims can also be invalidated if the on-
board network has been modified, e.g. through
the use of control units, hardware or software
that have been classified as unsuitable by the ve‐
hicle manufacturer A Service Partner is able to

Maintenance and repairs
The advanced technology used in your vehicle,
for example the state-of-the-art materials and
high-performance electronics, requires appropri‐
ate maintenance and repair methods.
Consequently, the manufacturer of the vehicle
recommends having corresponding work carried
out by a BMW Service Partner. If another BMW
authorised workshop is chosen, BMW recom‐
mends choosing one that performs work, for ex‐
ample maintenance and repair, according to
BMW specifications with properly trained per‐
sonnel. In the Owner's Handbook, facilities of this
kind are referred to as "another qualified Service
Partner or a specialist workshop".
If work such as maintenance and repair is carried
out incorrectly, it could result in consequential
damage with associated safety risks.
Work performed incorrectly on the vehicle paint‐
work can cause components, for example the ra‐
dar sensors, to fail or malfunction, resulting in a
safety risk.
Parts and accessories
BMW recommends using parts and accessories
that are approved by BMW and are therefore
suitable for this purpose.
You are recommended to consult a BMW Serv‐
ice Partner for advice on genuine BMW parts and
accessories, other BMW approved products and
expert advice on all related matters.
The safety and compatibility of these products in
conjunction with BMW vehicles have been
checked by BMW.
BMW accepts product responsibility for genuine
BMW parts and accessories. On the other hand,
BMW cannot accept liability for parts or acces‐
sory products of any kind which it has not ap‐
proved.
BMW is unable to assess each individual product
of outside origin as to its suitability for use on
BMW vehicles without safety risk. Likewise no
guarantee can be be assumed even if the prod‐
uct has been granted official approval in a spe‐
cific country. Tests performed for such approvals
cannot always cover all operating conditions for
BMW vehicles, and some of them therefore are
insufficient.
Vehicle data and data
protection
Responsibility and rights
Responsibility for data
Within the scope of data protection directives
and legislation, the manufacturer of the vehicle is
responsible for the processing of personal data
which is collected when the vehicle is used or
from web pages, customer support, online serv‐
ices and marketing campaigns.
Personal identification
Every vehicle has a unique vehicle identification
number. Depending on the country, a vehicle
owner can be identified with the assistance of
the vehicle identification number, the number
plate and the relevant authorities. There are also
other ways of tracing data collected in the vehicle
back to the driver or vehicle owner, for example
via the ConnectedDrive account used.
Data protection laws
In accordance with current data protection law,
vehicle users have certain rights they may assert
against the vehicle manufacturer or companies
that collect or process their personal data.
