Under the hood
Never attempt to perform any service or
repair operations on your vehicle without
the required, professional technical training. If
you are unfamiliar with the specifications to be
observed, only have work carried out on your
vehicle by a BMW center or a workshop which
works with personnel trained in accordance
with BMW specifications. Otherwise there is a
danger of damage and associated safety risks if
this work is performed improperly.
