Notes on this Owner's Handbook
We have tried to make all the informa-
tion in this Owner's Handbook easy to
find. The quickest access to a particular
topic or item is by consulting the
detailed alphabetical index at the end.
Consult the first chapter for an initial
overview of your car. The detailed list of
contents on the preceding pages is
intended to arouse your curiosity about
your new BMW and encourage you to
read this information carefully.
When the time comes to sell your
BMW, please remember to hand over
this Owner's Handbook; it is regarded
legally as part of the vehicle.
If you have any queries, BMW Service
will be glad to advise you.

Your car
When you ordered your BMW, you
chose various items of equipment. This
handbook describes all models and
equipment specifications which BMW
offers within this particular model line.
This explains why the handbook may
also contain details of items which you
have not ordered. The differences can
easily be identified by the asterisk
*
shown against optional extras.
If your BMW contains equipment that
is not described in this Owner's Hand-
book (e.g. a car radio or telephone),
supplementary operating instructions
will be supplied and you are requested
to study and comply with them.
