system checked as soon as possible.

sponding message is shown on the Control Dis-
play.

Continuous exposure to used oil has 
caused cancer in laboratory testing. 

For this reason, any skin areas that come into 
contact with oil should be thoroughly washed 
with soap and water.
Keep oil, grease etc. out of reach of children and 
observe the warnings on the containers to pre-
vent health risks.

<

Only have an oil change carried out by a BMW 
Sports Activity Vehicle Center or a workshop 
that works in accordance with BMW guidelines 
and uses appropriately trained personnel.
