Information status and national variants
BMW vehicles conform to the highest safety and quality standards.
Changes in terms of environmental protection, customer benefits and
design render necessary continuous development of systems and
components. Consequently, this may result in differences between this
product information and the vehicles available in the training course.
This document relates exclusively to left-hand drive vehicles with
European specifications. On right-hand drive vehicles, some controls or
components are arranged differently from the illustrations in this Product
Information. Further differences may arise as the result of the
