Parts and accessories
For your own safety, use genuine parts and accessories
approved by BMW.
When you purchase accessories tested and approved by BMW and Original BMW Parts,
you simultaneously acquire the assurance that they have been thoroughly tested by
BMW to ensure optimum performance when installed on your vehicle.
BMW warrants these parts to be free from defects in material and workmanship.
BMW will not accept any liability for damage resulting from installation of parts
and accessories not approved by BMW.
BMW cannot test every product made by other manufacturers to verify if it can be
used on a BMW safely and without risk to either the vehicle, its operation, or its
occupants.
Original BMW Parts, BMW Accessories and other products approved by BMW, together
with professional advice on using these items, are available from all BMW centers.
Installation and operation of accessories not approved by BMW, such as alarms, radios,
amplifiers, radar detectors, wheels, suspension components, brake dust shields,
telephones, including operation of any mobile phone from within the vehicle without
using an externally mounted antenna, or transceiver equipment, for instance, CBs,
walkie-talkies, ham radio or similar accessories, may cause extensive damage to
the vehicle, compromise its safety, interfere with the vehicle's electrical system
or affect the validity of the BMW Limited Warranty. See your BMW center for additional
information.
Maintenance, replacement, or repair of the emission
control devices and systems may be performed by any automotive repair establishment
or individual using any certified automotive part.
