2020 BMW M8 GRAN COUPE Owners Manual

Maintenance
and
repairs
The
advanced
technology
used
in
your
vehicle, for
example
the
state-of-the-art
materials
and
high-performance
electronics,
requires
approprij
ate
maintenance
and
repair
methods.
Consequently,
the
manufacturer
of
the
vehiclerecommends
having
corresponding
work
carried
out
by
a
BMW
Service
Partner.
If
another
BMW
authorised
workshop
is
chosen,
BMW
recomj
mends
choosing
one
that
performs
work,
for
exj
ample
maintenance
and
repair,
according
to
BMW
specifications
with
properly
trained
perj
sonnel.
In
the
Owner's
Handbook,
facilities
of
this kind
are
referred
to
as
another
qualified
Service
Partner
or
a
specialist
workshop.
If
such
work,
for
example
maintenance
and
rej
pair,
is
performed
inexpertly,
it
could
result
in
consequential
damage
and
thus
constitute
a safety
risk.
Work
performed
incorrectly
on
the
vehicle
paintj work
can
cause
components,
for
example
the
raj dar
sensors,
to
fail
or
malfunction,
resulting
in
a
safety
risk.
General
work
performed
incorrectly
on
the
vehij cle,
e.g.
mounting
a
number
plate,
can
cause components,
for
example
the
radar
sensors,
tofail
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
Servj
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
accesjsory
products
of
any
kind
which
it
has
not
apjproved.BMW
is
unable
to
assess
each
individual
productof
outside
origin
as
to
its
suitability
for
use
onBMW
vehicles
without
safety
risk.
Likewise
noguarantee
can
be
be
assumed
even
if
the
prodj
uct
has
been
granted
official
approval
in
a
spej cific
country.
Tests
performed
for
such
approvals
cannot
always
cover
all
operating
conditions
for BMW
vehicles,
and
some
of
them
therefore
are
insufficient.
Data
memory
General
A
number
of
electronic
control
devices
are
instalj
led
in
your
vehicle.
Electronic
control
units
procj ess
data
that
they

from
vehicle
sensors,generate
themselves
or
exchange
with
one
anjother,
for
example.
Some
control
devices
arenecessary
for
the
vehicle
to
function
safely
or
provide

Depending
on
the
country,
a
vehicleowner
can

of
the
vehicle
identification
number,
the

and
the
relevant

There
are
also
other
ways
of
tracing

for
example
via
the
ConnectedDrive

Statutory
emergency
call
system
Principle
The
eCall
emergency
call
system
required
by
law enables
manual
or
automatic
emergency
calls
to
be
issued
in
the
event
of
accidents,
for
example.
The
emergency
calls
are
answered
by
the
public
rescue
coordination
centre.
General
For
information
on
the
eCall
statutory
on-board emergency
call
system
based
on
the
112
emerj
gency
call,
as
well
as
its
operation
and
its
funcj
tions,
see
the
chapter
on
emergency
calls.
The
eCall
service
based
on
the
112
emergency
call
is
a
public
service
of
general
interest
and
is
provided
free
of
charge.
If
a
serious
accident
occurs,
the
eCall
statutory
emergency
call
system
is
activated
automatically
by
on-board
sensors
as
a
standard
feature.
It
is
also
triggered
automatically
if
the
vehicle
is
equipped
with
an
intelligent
emergency
call
sysj
tem
that
fails
to
work
in
the
event
of
a
serious
acj
cident.
The
eCall
statutory
emergency
call
system
can also
be
triggered
manually
if
required.
If
a
critical
system
failure
occurs
that
would
put
the
eCall
statutory
emergency
call
system
out
of
operation,
the
passengers
receive
a
warning.
