WELCOME TO BMW i.

Owner's Handbook.

Congratulations on your choice of a BMW i.
The better you are acquainted with your vehicle, the easier you will find it is to
operate. We would therefore like to offer you the following advice:
Please read the Owner's Handbook before setting out in your new BMW i.
Also use the integrated Owner's Handbook in your vehicle. It contains impor‐
tant notes on how to operate the car, enabling you to derive maximum benefit
from the technical advantages of your BMW i. It also contains information
which will help you to maintain both the operating safety and road safety of
your BMW i's as well as its full resale value.
If applicable, you will find updates after the editorial deadline in the appendix
of the printed Owner's Handbook for the vehicle.
Supplementary information is provided in the other documents of on-board
literature. Your BMW AG wishes you pleasant and safe driving.
