Corrosion Protection

Extensive corrosion protection measures imple-

mented by BMW now make it possible to offer a

12-year unlimited milage anti-corrosion warranty

against rust perforation on your vehicle provided

that the vehicle is maintained in accordance with

the provisions of the New Vehicle Limited War-

ranty as outlined in the Warranty Section of this

Booklet (page 37).

The major degree of corrosion protection is due

to the electrophoretic dip painting process which

cathodically deposits paint particles on all body

parts, attracting paint particles into the minutest

cavities or seams. Body parts are designed to

provide optimum corrosion protection.

During manufacture, exterior body parts receive

an additional corrosion protection coat. Hood,

trunk, doors and other body parts are coated with

PVC and sealed from the outside.

All floor panels receive a resilient coating of PVC

for maximum protection against damage due to

stones, etc.

Corrosion protection materials tested over many

years are applied to the surfaces of cavities and

to the entire underside of the vehicle during and

after assembly.

Requirements for maintaining the 12-year unlim-

ited mileage anti-corrosion warranty are outlined

in the Warranty Section of this Booklet (page 38).

Restoring corrosion protection

Please take care that anti-corrosion material is

replaced when your car is repaired after body or

chassis damage.

BMW will not accept any liability for any parts

and accessories not approved by BMW.

Underbody maintenance

The underbody has to be cleaned at least once a

year, in spring, with plain water in order to remove

mud, chemical sediments and other deposits. If

those materials are not removed, corrosion (rust)

will occur on metal components.

Your BMW center will do this anti-corrosion ser-

vice for you.

WARNING

Do not apply additional undercoating or rust-

proofing on or near the exhaust manifold, exhaust

pipes, catalytic converter or heat shields. During

driving,thesubstanceused forundercoating could

overheat and cause a fire.
