tion should be disregarded and the follow-
ing text should be read in lieu thereof:
The manufacturer of your vehicle strongly
suggests that you use wheels and tires that
have been recommended by the vehicle
manufacturer for your vehicle type; other-
wise, for example, despite having the same
official size ratings, variations can lead to
body contact and with it, the risk of severe
accidents.
The manufacturer of your vehicle does not
evaluate non-recommended wheels and
tires to determine if they are suitable for use
on your vehicle.

work on your vehicle in accordance with
BMW specifications. The manufacturer of
your vehicle recommends that you maintain
records of all maintenance and repair work
performed on your vehicle.
14. At page 250 and page 252, where it reads:
“Do not perform work/bulb replacement on
xenon headlamps,” that text should be dis-
regarded and in lieu thereof the following
text should be read: “Xenon headlamp work
or replacement can cause serious and fatal
injuries.” In the text that follows, where it
reads: “[h]ave any work on the xenon light-
ing system … ,” the following words should
be read as preceding that passage: “It is
strongly suggested that you … .”
15. At page 255, under the “Battery replace-
ment” section, the text should be disre-
garded and in lieu thereof the following text
should be read:
Use of recommended vehicle batteries
The manufacturer of your vehicle recom-
mends that you use vehicle batteries that it
has tested and recommends for use in your
vehicle; otherwise the vehicle could be
damaged and systems or functions may not
be fully available.
After a battery replacement, the manufac-
turer of your vehicle recommends that you
have the battery registered on your vehicle
by a service center to ensure that all com-
fort functions are fully available, and that
any “check control” messages of these
comfort functions are no longer displayed.
