Addendum
ADDENDUM TO BMW 1 SERIES
OWNER’S MANUAL 1402911223
We wanted to provide you with some
updates and clarifications with respect to
the printed BMW Owner’s Manual.
These updates and clarifications will
supersede the materials contained in
that document.
1.Where the terms “service center,”
“the service center,” “your service
center,” “service specialist,’ or
“service” are used in the Owner’s
Manual, we wanted to clarify that
the terms refer to a BMW dealer’s
service center or another service
center or repair shop that employs
trained personnel that can perform
maintenance and repair work on
your vehicle in accordance with
BMW specifications.
2.Where the text of the Owner’s
Manual contains an affirmative
instruction to contact a “service
center” or “your service center,” we
wanted to clarify that BMW
recommends that, if you are faced
with one of the situations addressed
by that text, you contact or seek the
assistance of a BMW dealer’s
service center or another service
center or repair shop that employs
trained personnel that can perform
maintenance and repair work on
your vehicle in accordance with
BMW specifications.
While BMW of North America LLC,
at no cost to you, will pay for repairs
required by the limited warranties
provided with respect to your
vehicle and for maintenance under
the Maintenance Program during
the applicable warranty and
maintenance coverage periods, you
are free to elect, both during those
periods and thereafter, to have
maintenance and repair work
provided by other service centers or
repair shops.
3.Where the Owner’s Manual makes
reference to parts and accessories
having been approved by BMW,
those references are intended to
reflect that those parts and
accessories are recommended by
BMW of North America LLC. You
may elect to use other parts and
accessories, but, if you do, we
recommend that you make sure that
any such parts and/or accessories
are appropriate for use on your
vehicle.
4.At page 5, under the warranty
section’s discussion of
homologation, where it states that
you “cannot lodge warranty claims
for your vehicle there,” the text
should read that you “may not be
able to lodge warranty claims for
your vehicle there.”
5.At page 5, in the “Parts and
Accessories” section, the sentence
beginning “For your own safety, use

snow chains is available from a
service center.
11.At page 232, under the heading

you are not familiar . . .” should be
disregarded and the following text
should be read in lieu thereof: “If
this work is not carried out properly,
there is a danger of subsequent

hazards.”
12.At page 235, under the heading:
“Approved oil types,” the references
to “Approved” should be read as
“Suitable.” Immediately preceding
the “Gasoline engine” chart, the
following sentence should be
inserted: “Add engine oils that meet
the following oil rating standards: . .
.” The reference to “BMW High
Performance SAE 5W-30” should
be disregarded.
13.At page 235, under the heading:
“Alternative oil types,” the text
preceding the chart should be
disregarded, and in lieu thereof
should be read as follows: “If an
engine oil suitable for continuous
use is not available, up to 1 US
quart/liter of an engine oil with the
following oil rating can be added: . .
.” The reference to “specification”
should be read as “rating.”

Notes
Vehicle equipment
This Owner's Manual de
scribes all models and
all series-specific equipm ent, country-specific
equipment, and optional equipment that is
offered in the series. For this reason, this
Owner's Manual also de scribes and illustrates
some equipment that may not be available in
your vehicle, for example due to the special
options or national-market version selected.
This also applies to safety related functions and
systems.
If equipment and models are not described in
this Owner's Manual, please consult the
accompanying Supplementary Owner's
Handbooks.
Status of this Owner's Manual
at time of printing
BMW pursues a policy of continuous, ongoing
development that is conceived to ensure that
our vehicles continue to embody the highest
quality and safety standards combined with
advanced, state-of-the-art technology. For this
reason, it is possible in exceptional cases that
features described in this Owner's Manual
could differ from those on your vehicle.
Updates after press date
Updates after press date for the Owner's Man-
uals, when necessary, are issued as appendices
to the printed Quick Reference Guide for the
vehicle.
Your own safety
Warranty
Your vehicle is technically configured for the
operating conditions and registration require-
ments applying in the country of first delivery –
homologation. If your vehicle is to be operated
in a different country it might be necessary to
adapt your vehicle to po tentially differing oper- ating conditions and permit requirements. If
your vehicle does not co
mply with the homolo-
gation requirements in a certain country you
cannot lodge warranty claims for your vehicle
there.
Further information can be obtained from your
service center.
Maintenance and repair
Advanced technology, e.g. the use of
modern materials and powerful electron-
ics, requires specially adapted maintenance
and repair methods. You should therefore have
the corresponding work on your vehicle per-
formed only by your BMW center or at a work-
shop that works according to BMW repair
procedures with corres pondingly trained per-
sonnel. If this work is not carried out properly,
there is a danger of subsequent damage and
related safety hazards. <
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 Or iginal BMW Parts, you
simultaneously acquire the assurance that they
have been thoroughly te sted 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 accesso-
ries not approved by BMW.
BMW cannot test every pr oduct 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.
