BMW Recycling.
Your BMWis the product of a comprehensive recycling concept. But what exactlydoes that mean in practice?
It means that all the requirements of recycling are taken into account from the start, in the initial development
of a BMW. One example is careful material selection designed to preserve resources and to ensure efcient
recycling compatible with the environment. Each BMW is designed and built for simple and economic
recycling after its long running life. Since 1994, we have been collecting the know-how required for this
purpose at the unique BMWRecycling and Dismantling Centre (RDC) near Munich. At the same time, the
BMWGroup is establishing a complete network of vehicle recycling facilities within Europe, focusing in the
process on the high standards of quality and environmental care that BMWis renowned for. Please contact
your BMWpartner on all matters regarding your end-of-life vehicle. They will be happy to help.
The models illustrated in this brochure show the specications for the German market. In part, they include
optional equipment and accessories not tted as standard. According to the specic requirements of other
