Using this Owner's Manual
We have tried to make all the information in this Owner's Manual easy to find. The fastest way to find specific topics is to refer to the detailed index at the back of the manual. If you wish to gain an initial overview of your vehicle, you will find this in the first chapter.
Should you sell your BMW some day, please remember to hand over the Owner's Manual as well; it is an important component of your vehicle.
Additional sources of information
Should you have any other questions, your BMW center will be glad to advise you at any time.
Information on BMW, e.g. on technical aspects, can also be found on the Internet at www.bmwusa.com.
