Recycling
The very design of your car incorporates a recy-
cling-friendly concept that extends to both the
production methods used and the choice of
materials.
BMW recommends that you hand in your car to
a salvaging operator approved by the BMW
Group at the end of its operating life. In doing
this, you will be making an active contribution
towards protecting resources and the environ-
ment. The regulations concerning the returning
of end-of-life vehicles may vary from country to
country. You can obtain more information in the
Internet under www.bmw.com or from your
BMW Service.
