Equipment
When you ordered your
BMW motorcycle, you chose
various 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 motorcycle
might not be exactly as illustrated
in this manual on account of
country-specific differences.
If your motorcycle features
equipment that is not described
here, you can find these features
described in a separate manual.
Technical Data
All dimensions, weights and per-
formance data contained this
Rider's Manual refer to the Ger-
man DIN standards and comply
with their tolerance specifications.
The technical data and speci-
fications in this Rider's Manual
serve as points of reference. The
vehicle-specific data may vary,
for instance due to the selected
optional equipment, national-mar-
ket version or country-specific
measuring procedures. Detailed
values can be obtained from the
registration documents and the
signs on the vehicle or from your
authorized 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 this
Rider's Manual.
Notice concerning
current status
The high safety and quality stan-
dards of BMW motorcycles are
maintained by consistent, on-
going development efforts em-
bracing their design, equipment
and accessories. For this reason,
some aspects of your motorcycle
may vary from the descriptions
in these operating instructions.
In addition, BMW Motorrad can-
not guarantee the total absence
of errors. We hope you will ap-

Data memory
General
Electronic control units are in-
stalled in the vehicle. Electronic
control units process data re-
ceived from vehicle sensors,
self-generated data or data ex-
changed between control units,
for example. Some control units
are required for safe vehicle op-
eration or provide driving assis-
tance, such as driver assistance
systems. Control units also make
comfort and infotainment func-
tions possible.
Information about the stored or
exchanged data can be obtained
from the vehicle manufacturer,
such as in the form of a separate
booklet.
Personal references
Every vehicle is marked with a
unique vehicle identification num-
ber. Depending on the country,
the vehicle owner can be iden-
tified using the vehicle identifi-
cation number 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 rider or
vehicle owner, such as via the
used ConnectedDrive Account.
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.
