Owner's Handbook for the vehicle
Congratulations on your choice of a BMW.
X3
The better you are acquainted with your vehicle, the easier you
will find it is to handle. We would therefore like to offer you the
following advice:
Please read the Owner's Handbook before setting out in your
new BMW. Also use the integrated Owner's Handbook in your
vehicle. It contains important information on how to operate the
vehicle, enabling you to derive maximum benefit from the tech‐
nical advantages of your BMW. It also contains useful informa‐
tion which will help you to uphold both your BMW's operating
safety and its full resale value.
Updates to the printed or integrated Owner's Handbook after
going to press are located as needed in the appendix to the
printed quick reference to the vehicle.
Supplementary information is provided in the other documents
of on-board literature.
We wish you a safe and enjoyable journey,
BMW AG
The Owner's Handbook is available as an app in many coun‐
tries. You will find information on the Internet at:
