custom equipment items.
This Rider's Manual describes
optional equipment (OE)
offered by BMW and selected
optional accessories (OA). This
explains why the manual may
also contain descriptions of
equipment which you have
not ordered. Please note, too,
that your vehicle might not be

specific differences.
If your Scooter was supplied
with equipment not described

find these features described in
a separate manual.
TECHNICAL DATA
All dimensions, weights and
performance data contained
in these operating instructions
refer to the German Institute
for Standardization i.e. DIN
(Deutsches Institut für Nor-
mung e. V.) and comply with
their tolerance specifications.
The technical data and spec-
ifications in these operating
instructions serve as points of
reference. The vehicle-specific
data may vary, for instance due
to the selected optional equip-
ment, national-market version
or country-specific measuring
procedures. Detailed values can
be obtained from the registra-
tion documents or requested
from your BMW Motorrad re-
tailer or other qualified service
partner or specialist workshop.
The information on the vehicle
documents always takes prece-
dence over the information in
these operating instructions.

6 GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
NOTICE CONCERNING CUR-
RENT STATUS
The high safety and quality
standards of BMW Scooters
are maintained by consistent,
ongoing development efforts
embracing their design, equip-
ment, and accessories. For this
reason, some aspects of your
vehicle may vary from the de-
scriptions in this rider's man-
ual. In addition, BMW Motorrad
cannot guarantee the total ab-
sence of errors. We hope you
will appreciate that no claims
can be recognized based on
the data, illustrations or de-
scriptions in this manual.

CERTIFICATES AND OPERAT-
ING PERMITS
The certificates for the vehi-
cle and the official operating

DATA MEMORY
General information
Control units are installed in
the vehicle. Control units pro-
cess data received from vehicle
sensors, self-generated data or
data exchanged between con-
trol units, for example. Some
control units are required for
safe vehicle operation or pro-
vide riding assistance, such as
driver assistance systems. Con-
trol units also make comfort
and infotainment functions pos-
sible.
Information about the stored
or exchanged data can be ob-
tained from the vehicle manu-
facturer, such as in the form of
a separate booklet.
Personal references
Every vehicle is marked with
a unique vehicle identifica-
tion number. Depending on
the country, the vehicle owner
can be identified using the
vehicle identification number

7
and license plate and with the
help of the relevant authorities.
There are also other ways to
trace data obtained from the
vehicle back to the driver or
vehicle owner, such as via the
ConnectedDrive Account that
was used.
Data privacy laws
In accordance with applicable
data privacy laws, vehicle users
have certain rights over the ve-
hicle manufacturer or company
that collects or processes per-
sonal data.
Vehicle users have the right to
obtain comprehensive informa-
tion without charge from the
locations that store the vehicle
user's personal data.
These locations may be:
The vehicle manufacturer
Qualified service partners
Specialist workshops
Service providers
Vehicle users may request in-
formation about the type of
personal data that is stored, the
purpose for which the data will
be used and the source of the
data. This information can only
be obtained by a registered
owner or a person with written
proof authorizing use of the ve-
hicle.
The right to information also
includes information related
to data transmitted to other
companies or locations.
The vehicle manufacturer's
website contains the appro-
priate privacy policy notices.
The privacy policy notices con-
tain information on the right
to delete or correct data. The
vehicle manufacturer also pro-
vides the manufacturer contact
information and the contact in-
formation of the data security
officer.
The vehicle owner can have
a BMW Motorrad retailer or
other qualified service partner
or specialist workshop read out
the data stored in the vehicle
for a fee if required.
The vehicle data is read out via
the vehicle's legally mandated
socket for onboard diagnosis
(OBD).
Legal requirements for the
disclosure of data
The vehicle manufacture is re-
quired by the law applicable in
this context to provide authori-
ties with the data stored by the
manufacturer. Providing this
data within the scope required
is on a case-by-case basis, for
instance to clarify a criminal of-
fense.

8 GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
Government agencies are au-
thorized by the law applicable
in this context to read out the
data from the vehicle them-
selves in individual cases.
Operating data in the vehicle
Control units process data so
that the vehicle can run.
Examples of this include:
Status messages from the ve-
hicle and its individual com-
ponents, such as wheel RPM,
wheel speed and deceleration
Environmental conditions,
such as temperature
The data is processed only in
the vehicle itself and is usu-
ally temporary. The data is not
stored beyond the period in
which the vehicle is operating.
Electronic components such
as control units contain com-
ponents for storing technical
information. This may be infor-
mation about the vehicle's con-
dition, component load, events
or faults stored temporarily or
permanently.
This information generally doc-
uments the condition of a com-
ponent, module, system or the
surrounding area; for example:
Operating conditions of sys-
tem components, such as fill
levels and tire pressure
Malfunctions and faults in key
system components, such as
lights and brakes
Vehicle responses in specific
riding situations, such as the
activation of driving stability
control systems
Information about events
causing damage to the vehicle
The data is necessary for pro-
viding control unit functions. In
addition, it is used by the vehi-
cle manufacturer to detect and
eliminate malfunctions as well
as to optimize vehicle func-
tions.
The majority of this data is
temporary and is processed
only within the vehicle itself.
Only a small amount of event-
driven data is stored in the
event data recorder and fault
memory.
When a vehicle is serviced,
such as for repairs, servicing
processes, warranty cases and
quality assurance measures,
this technical information can
be read out from the vehicle
together with the vehicle iden-
tification number.
The information can be read
out by a BMW Motorrad re-

9
tailer or other qualified service
partner or specialist workshop.
The vehicle's legally mandated
socket for onboard diagnosis
(OBD) is used to read out the
data.
The data is collected, pro-
cessed and used by the
respective retailer network
locations. The data documents
the vehicle's technical states
and helps with fault finding,
compliance with warranty
obligations and quality
improvements.
The manufacturer also has
product monitoring obligations
arising from product liability
law. The vehicle manufacturer
requires technical data from
the vehicle in order to fulfill
these obligations. The data
from the vehicle can also be
used to verify customer war-
ranty and guarantee claims.
The fault memory and event
data recorder in the vehicle can
be reset by a BMW Motorrad
retailer or other qualified
service partner or specialist
workshop as part of a repair or
servicing.
Data input and data transfer
in the vehicle
General information
Depending on the equipment,
comfort settings and individual-
ized settings in the vehicle can
be saved and changed or reset
at any time.
Examples of this include:
Windshield position settings
Chassis and suspension ad-
justment settings
It is possible to introduce data
into the vehicle entertainment
and communication system via
a smartphone, for instance.
Depending on the individual
equipment, this includes:
Multimedia data, such as mu-
sic for playback
Address book data for use in
conjunction with a commu-
nication system or integrated
navigation system
Entered navigation destina-
tions
Data about the use of Inter-
net services. This data can
be stored locally in the ve-
hicle or is on a device con-
nected to the vehicle, such
as a smartphone, USB stick
or MP3 player. If this data is
saved in the vehicle, it can be
deleted at any time.

10 GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
This data is transmitted to third
parties only upon personal re-
quest as part of the use of on-
line services. The data trans-
mitted depends on the selected
settings when using the ser-
vices.
Integrating mobile end de-
vices
Depending on the equipment,
mobile end devices connected
to the vehicle, such as smart-
phones, are controlled using
the vehicle's operating ele-
ments.
This enables audio and visual
output from mobile end de-
vices through the multimedia
system. At the same time, cer-
tain information is transmitted
to the mobile end device. This
includes for instance position
data and other general vehicle
data, depending on the type of
integration, and makes it pos-
sible to optimize the use of se-
lected apps, such as those for
navigation or audio playback.
The way the data is processed
further is determined by the
provider of the particular app
used. The range of possible
settings depends on the par-
ticular app and the operating
system of the mobile end de-
vice.
Services
General information
If the vehicle has a mobile
phone connection, this
connection makes it possible
to exchange data between
the vehicle and other systems.
The mobile phone connection
is made possible through
the vehicle's transmitter and
receiver or via personally
integrated mobile end devices
such as smartphones. Online
functions, as they are called, are
used over this mobile phone
connection. These include on-
line services and apps provided
by the vehicle manufacturer or
other providers.
Vehicle manufacturer ser-
vices
In the case of the vehicle man-
ufacturer's online services, the
particular functions are de-
scribed at the appropriate lo-
cation, such as in the operating
instructions or on manufactur-
er's website. The relevant legal
information on data privacy is
also provided there. Personal
data may be used in order to
provide online services. The
data is exchanged over a se-
cure connection, i.e. with the
vehicle manufacturer's IT sys-

11
tems which are intended for
this purpose.
Any collection, processing and
use of personal data that goes
beyond the provision of ser-
vices take place only as per-
mitted by law, on the basis of
a contractual agreement or as
a result of consent. It is also
possible to have the entire data
connection activated or deacti-
vated. This is not the case for
legally prescribed functions.
Services of other providers
When using the online services
of other providers, these ser-
vices are subject to the respon-
sibility and the data protection
and usage conditions of the re-
spective provider. The vehicle
manufacturer has no control
over the content exchanged
via these services. Informa-
tion about the type, scope and
purpose of collecting and us-
ing personal data as part of
third-party services can be
obtained from the particular
service provider.
