BMW is monitoring this Forum and may access your PERSONAL VEHICLE OWNERSHIP and FINANCIAL RECORDS. They may also CONTACT YOU, YOUR DEALERSHIP, and RECORD POSTED CONTENT in regard to your personal use of BMW vehicles and products. This is a VIOLATION OF YOUR RIGHT TO PRIVACY, as posting on this forum does NOT include the implicit granting of permission to BMW to access your personal records.
Because this information could potentially be used against you during future WARRANTY CLAIMS, TRADE-INS, and LEASE RETURNS; the following is HIGHLY recommended should you choose to continue to participate on this forum:
1. Create a unique and confidential “handle” identity for this forum to completely conceal your identity. Do not use this handle in other forums, where a connection can be made to you personally.
2. Avoid including content on this forum that could possibly connect your posting to you (including e-mail), your vehicle, VIN#, or other personal and private information.
3. When posting photographs of your vehicle, insure that all identifying marks, such as license plate number, house address, etc. are removed or concealed. NOTE: The site you use to post photographs can be used to trace your identity.
BMW has the right, as any of us do, to monitor this site for content and comment. This could be viewed as positive involvement by a concerned manufacturer. However, they do NOT have the right to access your PERSONAL INFORMATION based solely on your participation on this forum. Take the precautions described and protect yourself from possible future injury.
