Parts and accessories

BMW recommends the use of parts and acces‐

sory products approved by BMW.

Warranty

Your vehicle is technically configured for the op‐

erating conditions and registration requirements

applying in the country of first delivery, also

known as homologation. If your vehicle is to be

operated in a different country it might be neces‐

sary to adapt your vehicle to potentially differing

operating conditions and registration require‐

ments. If your vehicle does not comply with the

homologation requirements in a certain country

you may not be able to lodge warranty claims for

your vehicle there. Further information on war‐

ranty is available from a dealer’s service center.

Approved parts and accessories, and advice on

their use and installation are available from a

BMW dealer's service center.

BMW parts and accessories have been tested by

BMW for their safety and suitability in BMW vehi‐

cles.

BMW warrants genuine BMW parts and acces‐

sories.

BMW does not evaluate whether each individual

product from another manufacturer can be used

with BMW vehicles without presenting a safety

hazard, even if a country-specific official approval

was issued. BMW does not evaluate whether

these products are suitable for BMW vehicles

under all usage conditions.

Maintenance and repairs

WARNING

There is a risk of accidents or risk of damage to

formed by a dealer’s service center or another

qualified service center or repair shop only.
