Notes

For you own safety
Use unleaded gasoline only. Fuels
containing up to and including 10%
ethanol or other oxygenates with up to
2.8% oxygen by weight – that is, 15%
MTBE or 3% methanol plus an equivalent
amount of co-solvent – will not void the
applicable warranties respecting defects in
materials or workmanship. Field experi-
ence has indicated significant differences
in fuel quality – volatility, composition, addi-
tives, etc. – among gasolines offered for
sale in the United States and Canada. The
use of poor quality fuels may result in drive-
ability, starting and stalling problems espe-
cially under certain environmental
conditions such as high ambient tempera-
ture 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.

Important safety information
For your own safety, use genuine
parts and accessories approved by
BMW.
When you purchase accessories tested
and approved by BMW and Original 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
damage 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. Original BMW Parts, BMW Accesso-
ries 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 – including operation of
any portable cellular phone from within the
vehicle without using an externally
mounted antenna – or transceiver equip-
ment, for instance, CBs, walkie-talkie, ham
radio or similar accessories, may cause
extensive damage to the vehicle, compro-
mise its safety, interfere with the vehicle's
electrical system or affect the validity of the
BMW Limited Warranty. See your BMW
center for additional information.
