Editorial notice

When purchasing your BMW, you have decided

in favor of a model with individualized equip-

ment and features. This Owner's Manual

describes all equipment offered for the

BMW M6.

BMW pursues a policy of continuous, ongoing

development that is conceived to ensure that

our vehicles continue to embody the highest

quality and safety standards combined with

advanced, state-of-the-art technology. In iso-

lated cases it is possible that the features

described in this Owner's Manual could differ

from those on your vehicle.

Please bear in mind that the manual may con-

tain information on accessories and equipment

that you have not specified for your own vehicle.

Sections describing options and special equip-

ment are marked by asterisks

to assist you in

identifying possible differences between the

descriptions in this manual and your own vehi-

cle's equipment.

If equipment in your BMW is not described in

this Owner's Manual, please refer to the accom-

panying Supplementary Owner's Manuals.

Parts and accessories

For your own safety

For your own safety, use genuine parts

and accessories approved by BMW.

Maintenance and repairs

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 performance 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 accesso-

ries not approved by BMW.

Advanced technology, e.g. the use of

modern materials and high-performance

electronics, requires specially adapted mainte-

nance and repair methods. Have corresponding

work on your BMW performed only by your

BMW center or a workshop that works accord-

ing to BMW repair procedures with appropri-

ately trained personnel. If this work is not

carried out properly, there is a danger of subse-

quent damage and related safety hazards.<

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 vehi-

cle, its operation, or its occupants.

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.
