BMW Z4 Roadster, Owner'S Handbook Manual

Page: 10 / 344

For Australia/New Zealand:
general
When reading this Owner's Handbook, please
bear the following in mind: to ensure that our ve‐
hicles continue to embody the highest quality
and safety standards, we pursue a policy of con‐
tinuous, ongoing development. Because modifi‐
cations in the design of both vehicles and acces‐
sories may be introduced at any time, your own
vehicle's equipment may vary from that descri‐
bed in this handbook. For the same reason, it is
also impossible to guarantee that all descriptions
will be completely accurate in all respects.
We must therefore request your understanding
of the fact that the manufacturer of your vehicle
is unable to recognise legal claims based on dis‐
crepancies between the data, illustrations and
descriptions in this Owner's Handbook and your
own vehicle's equipment. Please note, too, that
some of the optional equipment described in this
manual is not available on Australian models due
to restrictions imposed by Australian Design
Rules and other requirements.
Should you require any further information,
please contact your Service centre, who will be
pleased to advise you.
