ADDENDUM TO OWNER'S MANUAL
We wanted to provide you with some updates 
and clarifications with respect to the printed 
BMW Owner's Manual. These updates and 
clarifications will supersede the materials con-
tained in that document. 
1.
Where the terms “service center,” “the ser-
vice center,” “your service center,” “service 
specialist,” or “service” are used in the 
Owner's Manual, we wanted to clarify that 
the terms refer to a BMW dealer's service 
center or another service center or repair 
shop that employs trained personnel that 
can perform maintenance and repair work 
on your vehicle in accordance with BMW 
specifications. 
2.
Where the text of the Owner's Manual con-
tains an affirmative instruction to contact a 
“service center” or “your service center,” 
we wanted to clarify that BMW recom-
mends that, if you are faced with one of the 
situations addressed by that text, you con-
tact or seek the assistance of a BMW 
dealer's service center or another service 
center or repair shop that employs trained 
personnel that can perform maintenance 
and repair work on your vehicle in accor-
dance with BMW specifications. 
While BMW of North America LLC, at no 
cost to you, will pay for repairs required by 
the limited warranties provided with respect 
to your vehicle and for maintenance under 
the Maintenance Program during the appli-
cable warranty and maintenance coverage 
periods, you are free to elect, both during 
those periods and thereafter, to have main-
tenance and repair work provided by other 
service centers or repair shops.
3.
Where the Owner's Manual makes refer-
ence to parts and accessories having been 
approved by BMW, those references are 
intended to reflect that those parts and 
accessories are recommended by BMW of 
North America LLC. You may elect to use 
other parts and accessories, but, if you do, 
we recommend that you make sure that any 
such parts and/or accessories are appropri-
ate for use on your vehicle.

At page 7, under the warranty section's dis-

formed by a service center as it is important 
that this safety feature functions properly.”
