A word about security...
The security of confidential information on the Web is a concern we take seriously. We take every measure to ensure that the confidential information you entrust to us stays confidential. BMW Online uses the latest technology to ensure the security of your confidential information.
Furthermore, any contact information you provide is used for the purpose of fulfilling your order or information request and for informing you about events at BMWonline and for letting BMW keep you up to date in general. We do not share our customers' personal information with anyone outside the BMW Group for any reason. Here's more on the BMW Center privacy policy.
When you click the Checkout button, your shopping session is handed over to our SSL 3 secure server. If you have your security messages enabled, your browser will inform you that you have requested a secure document. Similarly, the "Security" indicator on your browser will change to indicate that we are now communicating securely with each other. From that point on, your order is protected by the strongest encryption available.
Rest assured, the information you provide BMWonline stays between you and us!

SSL Defined: Short for Secure Sockets Layer, a protocol developed by Netscape for transmitting private documents via the Internet. SSL works by using a public key to encrypt data that's transferred over the SSL connection. Both Netscape Navigator and Internet Explorer support SSL, and many Web sites use the protocol to obtain confidential user information, such as credit card numbers. By convention, URLs that require an SSL connection start with https: instead of http:.
