Basic information
The manufacturer of your vehicle pursues a
policy of constant development that is con-
ceived to ensure that our vehicles continue to
embody the highest quality and safety stan-
dards. In rare cases, therefore, the features de-
scribed in this Owner's Manual may deviate

ments.
Warranty
Your vehicle is technically configured for the
operating conditions and registration require-
ments 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
necessary to adapt your vehicle to potentially
differing operating conditions and registration
requirements. Noncompliance with homologa-
tion requirements in a certain country may af-
fect warranty coverage. Please consult the
New Vehicle Limited Warranty Booklet for fur-
ther information on warranty matters.
Maintenance and repairs
Advanced technology, for instance the use of
modern materials and high-performance elec-
tronics, requires suitable maintenance and re-
pair work.
The manufacturer of the vehicle recommends
that you entrust corresponding procedures to a
BMW center. If you choose to use another
service facility, BMW recommends use of a fa-
cility that performs work, e.g., maintenance
and repair, according to BMW specifications
with properly trained personnel, referred to in
the Owner's Manual as "another qualified
service center or repair shop".
If work is performed improperly, for instance
maintenance and repair, there is a risk of sub-
sequent damage and related safety risks.
Improperly performed work on the vehicle
paintwork can lead to a failure or fault of com-
ponents, e.g., the radar sensors, and thereby
result in a safety hazard.
Parts and accessories
BMW recommends the use of parts and acces-
sory products approved by BMW.
Approved parts and accessories, and advice
on their use and installation are available from
a BMW center.
BMW parts and accessories have been tested
by BMW for their safety and suitability in BMW
vehicles.
BMW warrants genuine BMW parts and acces-
sories.
BMW does not evaluate whether each individ-
ual 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.
California Proposition 65 Warning

Online Edition for Part no. 01405A540A1 - II/22

Personal reference
Each vehicle is marked with a unique vehicle
identification number. Depending on the coun-
try, the vehicle owner can be identified with the
vehicle identification number, license plate and
corresponding authorities. In addition, there
are other options to track data collected in the
vehicle to the driver or vehicle owner, for in-
stance, via the ConnectedDrive account that is
used.
Operating data in the vehicle
Control units process data to operate the vehi-
cle.
For example, this includes:
▷Status messages for the vehicle and its in-
dividual components, e.g., wheel RPM,
wheel speed, deceleration, lateral accelera-
tion, engaged seat belt indicator.
▷Ambient conditions, e.g., temperature, rain
sensor signals.
The processed data is only processed in the
vehicle itself and generally volatile. The data is
not stored beyond the operating period.
Electronic components, e.g. control units and
vehicle keys, contain components for storing
technical information. Information about the
vehicle condition, component usage, mainte-
nance recommendations, events or faults can
be stored temporarily or permanently.
This information generally documents the
state of a component, a module, a system, or
the surrounding area, for instance:
▷Operating states of system components,
for instance, fill levels, tire pressure, battery
status.
▷Malfunctions and faults in important sys-
tem components, for instance lights and
brakes.
▷Responses by the vehicle to special driving
situations such as airbag deployment or
engagement of the driving stability control
systems.
▷Information on vehicle-damaging events.
The data is required to perform the control unit
functions. Furthermore, it also serves to detect
and correct malfunctions, and helps the vehicle
manufacturer to optimize vehicle functions.
The majority of this data is stored temporarily
and is only processed within the vehicle itself.
In some circumstances the vehicle may store
some data for an additional but limited period
of time.
When servicing, for instance during repairs,
service processes, warranty cases, and quality
assurance measures, this technical informa-
tion can be read out from the vehicle together
with the vehicle identification number.
A dealer's service center or another qualified
service center or repair shop can read out the
information. The diagnostic socket required by
law in the vehicle is used to read out data.
The data is collected, processed, and used by
the relevant organizations in the service net-
work. The data documents technical condi-
tions of the vehicle, which can be used to de-
termine vehicle maintenance status, and
facilitate quality improvement.
Fault and event memories in the vehicle can
be reset when a dealer’s service center or an-
other qualified service center or repair shop
performs repair or servicing work.
Data entry and data transfer into
the vehicle
General information
Depending on the vehicle equipment, comfort
and individual settings can be stored in the ve-
hicle and modified or reset at any time.
For example, this includes:
▷Settings for the seat and steering wheel
positions.
▷Chassis and climate control settings.
Seite 10
NOTES Information

Online Edition for Part no. 01405A540A1 - II/22

If necessary, data can be transferred to the en-
tertainment and communication system of the
vehicle, for instance via smartphone.
This includes the following depending on the
respective equipment:
▷Multimedia data such as music, films or
photos for playback in an integrated multi-
media system.
▷Address book data for use in conjunction
with an integrated hands-free system or an
integrated navigation system.
▷Entered navigation destinations.
▷Data on the use of Internet services.
This data can be stored locally in the vehicle or
is found on a device that has been connected
to the vehicle, e.g., a smartphone, USB stick or
MP3 player. If this data is stored in the vehicle,
it can be deleted at any time.
This data is only transmitted to third parties
upon personal request as part of the use of on-
line services. The transmission depends on the
selected settings for the use of the services.
Incorporation of mobile devices
Depending on the vehicle equipment, mobile
devices connected to the vehicle, for instance
smartphones, can be controlled via the vehicle
control elements.
The sound and picture from the mobile devices
can be played back and displayed through the
multimedia system. Certain information is
transferred to the mobile devices at the same
time. Depending on the type of incorporation,
this includes, for instance position data and
other general vehicle information. This opti-
mizes the way in which selected apps, for in-
stance navigation or music playback, work.
There is no further interaction between the
mobile device and the vehicle, such as active
access to vehicle data.
How the data will be processed further is de-
termined by the provider of the particular app
being used. The extent of the possible settings
depends on the respective app and the operat-
ing system of the mobile device.
Services
General information
If the vehicle has a wireless network connec-
tion, it will enable data to be exchanged be-
tween the vehicle and other systems. The
wireless network connection is realized via an
in-vehicle transmitter and receiver unit or via
personal mobile devices brought into the vehi-
cle, for instance smartphones. This wireless
network connection enables 'online functions'
to be used. These include online services and
apps supplied by the vehicle manufacturer or
by other providers.
Services from the vehicle manufacturer
Where online services from the vehicle manu-
facturer are concerned, the corresponding
functions are described in the appropriate
place, for instance the Owner's Manual or
manufacturer's web page. The relevant legal
information pertaining to data protection may
also be found on the manufacturer’s website.
Personal data may be used to perform online
services. Data is exchanged over a secure con-
nection, for instance with the IT systems of the
vehicle manufacturer intended for this purpose.
Any collection, processing, and use of personal
data above and beyond that needed to provide
the services must always be based on a legal
permission, contractual arrangement or con-
sent. It is also possible to activate or deactivate
the data connection as a whole. That is, with
the exception of functions and services re-
quired by law such as Assist systems.
Services from other providers
When using online services from other provid-
ers, these services are the responsibility of the
relevant provider and subject to their data pri-
vacy conditions and terms of use. The vehicle
manufacturer has no influence on the content
Seite 11
Information NOTES

Online Edition for Part no. 01405A540A1 - II/22

exchanged during this process. Information on
the way in which personal data is collected and
used in relation to services from third parties,
the scope of such data, and its purpose, can
be obtained from the relevant service provider.
Event Data Recorder EDR
This vehicle is equipped with an event data re-
corder EDR. The main purpose of an EDR is to
record, in certain crash or near crash-like situa-
tions, such as an air bag deployment or hitting
a road obstacle, data that will assist in under-
standing how a vehicle’s systems performed.
The EDR is designed to record data related to
vehicle dynamics and safety systems for a
short period of time, typically 30 seconds or
less.
The EDR in this vehicle is designed to record
such data as:
▷How various systems in your vehicle were
operating.
▷Whether or not the driver and passenger
seat belts were fastened.
▷How far, if at all, the driver was depressing
the accelerator and/or brake pedal.
▷How fast the vehicle was traveling.
This data can help provide a better under-
standing of the circumstances in which
crashes and injuries occur.
EDR data is recorded by your vehicle only if a
nontrivial crash situation occurs; no data is re-
corded by the EDR under normal driving condi-
tions and no personal data, for instance name,
gender, age, and crash location, are recorded.
However, other parties, such as law enforce-
ment, could combine the EDR data with the
type of personally identifying data routinely ac-
quired during a crash investigation.
To read data recorded by an EDR, special
equipment is required, and access to the vehi-
cle or the EDR is needed. In addition to the ve-
hicle manufacturer, other parties, such as law
enforcement, that have the special equipment,
can read the information if they have access to
the vehicle or the EDR.
