California Proposition 65 Warning  
Any BMW center will be glad to inform  
you of the advisability, legal require-  
ments and factory recommendations  
with regard to technical modifications  
on the car. For this purpose, the BMW  
center requires the Vehicle Identifica-  
tion Number and, in some cases, also  
the engine number.  
California laws require us to state the  
following warning:  
Engine exhaust, some of its con-  
stituents, and certain vehicle com-  
ponents contain or emit chemicals  
known to the State of California to  
cause cancer and birth defects or other  
reproductive harm.<  
Light-Emitting Diodes (LEDs)  
Light-emitting diodes installed behind  
translucent lenses serve as the light  
source for many of the controls and  
displays in your vehicle. The concept  
behind their operation is related to that  
employed for lasers, and they are offi-  
cially designated as Class 1 light-emit-  
ting diodes.  
Do not remove the protective lens  
and avoid staring directly at the  
unfiltered beam for extended periods  
(several hours), as inflammation of the  
iris could result.<
