For your own safety 
 
Fuels 
 
Use unleaded gasoline only. Fuels 
containing up to and including 
10% ethanol or other oxygenates with up 
to 2.8% oxygen by weight Ð that is, 
15% MTBE or 3% methanol plus an equiv-
alent amount of co-solvent Ð will not void 
the applicable warranties with respect to 
defects in materials or workmanship. Field 
experience has indicated significant differ-
ences in fuel quality Ð volatility, composi-
tion, additives, etc. Ð among gasolines 
offered for sale in the United States and 
Canada. The use of poor-quality fuels may 
result in driveability, starting and stalling 
problems, especially under certain environ-
mental conditions such as high ambient 
temperature and high altitude. 
Should you encounter driveability prob-
lems which you suspect could be related to 
the fuel you are using, we recommend that 
you respond by switching to a recognized 
high-quality brand. 
Failure to comply with these recommenda-
tions may result in unscheduled mainte-
nance. 
Follow the relevant safety rules when you 
are handling gasoline.

Maintenance and repair 
 
Advanced technology, e. g. the use of 
modern materials and high-perform-
ance electronics, requires specially 
adapted maintenance and repair methods. 
Therefore, only have corresponding work 
on your BMW carried out by a BMW center 
or a workshop that works according to 
BMW repair procedures with correspond-
ingly trained personnel. If work is carried 
out improperly there is a danger of conse-
quential damage and the related safety 
risks.

Parts and accessories 
 
For your own safety, use genuine 
parts and accessories approved by 
BMW. 
When you purchase accessories tested 
and approved by BMW and Genuine BMW 
Parts, you simultaneously acquire the 
assurance that they have been thoroughly 
tested by BMW to ensure optimum perfor-
mance when installed on your vehicle. 
BMW warrants these parts to be free from 
defects in material and workmanship. 
BMW will not accept any liability for dam-
age resulting from installation of parts and 
accessories not approved by BMW. 
BMW cannot test every product made by 
other manufacturers to verify if it can be 
used on a BMW safely and without risk to 
either the vehicle, its operation, or its occu-
pants. 
Genuine BMW Parts, BMW Accessories 
and other products approved by BMW, 
together with professional advice on using 
these items, are available from all BMW 
centers. 
Installation and operation of non-BMW 
approved accessories such as alarms, 
radios, amplifiers, radar detectors, wheels, 
suspension components, brake dust 
shields, telephones Ð including operation of 
any portable phone from within the vehicle 
without using an externally mounted 
antenna Ð or transceiver equipment, for 
instance, CBs, walkie-talkie, ham radio or 
similar accessories, may cause extensive 
damage to the vehicle, compromise its 
safety, interfere with the vehicle's electrical 
system or affect the validity of the BMW 
Limited Warranty. Consult your BMW cen-
ter for additional information.

Maintenance, replacement, or repair 
of the emission control devices and 
systems may be performed by any automo-
tive repair establishment or individual using
