This Owner's Hand- book describes all models and equipment specifications which BMW offers within this particular model line. This explains why the Owner's Handbook may also contain details of items which you have not ordered. The differences can easily be identi- fied by the asterisk * shown against optional extras. If your BMW contains equipment that is not described in this Owner's Handbook, Supple- mentary Owner's Handbooks will be supplied and you are requested to study and comply with them. In cars with right-hand drive, some of the controls are arranged differently from those shown in the illustrations of this Owner's Handbook.< Status at time of printing The high safety and quality standards of BMW vehicles are maintained by unceasing develop- ment work on designs, equipment and acces- sories. In rare instances, your car may therefore differ from the information supplied in the Owner's Handbook. For your own safety Maintenance and repair The advanced technology behind this car, for example the use of modern materials and high-performance electronics, means that specially adapted methods of maintenance and repair are required. Always have the necessary work on your BMW performed either by BMW Service or by a workshop that operates to BMW specifications and has suitably trained person- nel. If such work is performed inexpertly, it could result in consequential damage and thus con- stitute a safety risk.< Parts and accessories BMW recommends using parts and accessory products on this car that are specifically approved for this purpose by BMW. You are recommended to consult BMW Service for advice on Genuine BMW parts and accesso- ries, other BMW-approved products and com- petent advice on all related matters. The safety and compatibility of these parts and products in conjunction with BMW vehicles have been checked by BMW. BMW accepts product liability for them. BMW cannot accept liability for parts or acces- sory products of any kind which it has not approved. BMW is unable to assess each individual prod- uct of outside origin as to its suitability for use on BMW vehicles without safety risk. Nor can suitability be assured if an official permit has been issued for it in a specific country. Tests performed for such permits cannot always cover all operating conditions for BMW vehi- cles, and some of them therefore are insuffi- cient.< Online Edition for Part-No. 01 41 0 013 209 - © 04/07 BMW AG Online Edition for Part-No. 01 41 0 013 209 - © 04/07 BMW AG Overview This summary of buttons, switches and displays serves as an initial guide.
