Federal Emissions System

Defect Warranty (Valid only in

the U.S.A. and Puerto Rico)

This warranty applies only to U.S. specifica-

tion vehicles distributed by BMW of North

America (BMW NA) or sold through the BMW

NA European Delivery Program.

In accordance with the defect warranty provi-

sions of section 207(b) of the Clean Air Act,

BMW NA warrants to the first retail purchaser,

and each subsequent purchaser, that the car

(a) was designed, built and equipped so as to

conform, at the time of sale, with all regula-

tions of the U.S. Environmental Protection

Agency applicable at the time of manufacture

and (b) is free from defects in materials and

workmanship which would cause it to fail to

conform with applicable regulations for a

period of 2 years or 24,000 miles, whichever

occurs first, except for specific emission

control components (as listed on page 38),

for which the warranty period is 8 years or

80,000 miles, whichever occurs first.

This warranty begins on the date of first retail

sale, or the date the vehicle is first placed in

service as a demonstrator or company

vehicle, whichever is earlier.

Warranty claims must be made as soon as

reasonably possible after a defect is discov-

ered. To make a claim, the car must be

brought to any authorized BMW center during

normal business hours.

The BMW center will, without charge for parts

or labor (including diagnosis), either repair or

replace the defective part, if any. The

decision whether to repair or replace said

parts is solely the prerogative of BMW NA

and must be expected to correct the failure of

the warranted part. Parts for which replace-

ments are made become the property of

BMW NA. In all cases, a reasonable time

must be allowed for warranty repairs to be

completed after the car is received by the

BMW center.

For assistance in determining which specific

parts or components of your vehicle are

covered under this warranty, please contact

your BMW center.

It is the owner’s responsibility to have all

scheduled inspection and maintenance

services performed (at the owner’s expense),

as prescribed in the maintenance schedule

for the BMW Emission Control System.

Service intervals are computed by the

onboard BMW service interval indicator and

displayed on the instrument panel. The

instructions for proper maintenance and use

can be found in the Owner’s Manual. It is

strongly recommended that any replacement

parts used for maintenance, repair or replace-

ment of emission control systems be certified

BMW Service Parts or BMW Authorized

Remanufactured Parts. Without invalidating

this warranty, the owner may elect to have

maintenance, repair or replacement of the

emission control systems performed by any

automotive repair establishment, or elect to

use parts other than certified BMW Service

Parts. However, the cost of such service or

parts will not be covered under this warranty,

except in emergency situations. In an

emergency situation, where an authorized

BMW center or a warranty replacement part

is not reasonably available (within 30 days),

repairs may be performed at any available

service establishment using any equivalent

part. BMW NA will reimburse the owner for

such emergency repairs (including labor,

parts and diagnosis not to exceed BMW NA

rates for labor, parts, and diagnosis in said

area) that are covered under this warranty.

Replaced parts and paid invoices must be

presented at a BMW center as a condition of

reimbursement for emergency repairs not

performed by a BMW center.

The use of replacement parts, which are not

of equivalent quality, may impair the effective-

ness of the emission control system. If other

than certified BMW Service Parts or

Authorized Remanufactured Parts are used

for maintenance, repair or replacement of

components affecting emission control, the

owner should obtain assurances that such

parts are warranted by their manufacturer to

be equivalent to genuine BMW parts in

performance and durability. BMW NA

assumes no liability under this warranty with

respect to parts other than genuine BMW

parts.
