However, BMW NA will not deny your warranty

repair claims solely because you do not have

maintenance records or you did not perform

the required maintenance unless BMW NA

demonstrates that such lack of required

maintenance is a direct cause of the emission

control system failure. The instructions for

required maintenance and use can be found

in the X5 Owner’s Manual and in the Service

section of this Statement.

It is strongly recommended that any replace-

ment parts used for maintenance, repair or

replacement of emission control systems be

genuine 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 estab-

lishment, or elect to use parts other than

BMW Authorized Remanufactured or

genuine 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 SAV

center is not reasonably available or a

warranty replacement part is not available

within 30 days, repairs may be performed at

any available service establishment or by

any individual using any replacement part.

A repair not completed within 30 days

constitutes an emergency. BMW NA will

reimburse the owner for such emergency

repairs (including labor, parts and diagnosis

not to exceed BMW suggested retail price for

all warranted parts replaced and labor

charges based on the manufacturer’s recom-

mended time allowance for the warranty repair

and the geographically appropriate hourly

labor rate) that are covered under this

warranty. Replaced parts and paid invoices

must be presented to an authorized BMW SAV

center as a condition of reimbursement for

emergency repairs not performed by an

authorized BMW SAV center.

The use of replacement parts, which are not of

equivalent quality, may impair the effective-

ness of emission control systems. If other than

genuine BMW Service Parts or Authorized

Remanu-factured Parts are used for mainte-

nance, repair or replacement of components

affecting emission control, the owner should

obtain assurances that such parts are war-

ranted 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.

However, the use of non-BMW replacement

parts does not invalidate the warranty on other

components, unless non-BMW parts cause

damage to warranted parts.

What is not covered

This warranty does not cover malfunctions

caused by any of the following: accident, flood,

misuse, modification, alteration, tampering,

disconnection, improper or inadequate

maintenance, except if performed by an

authorized BMW SAV center doing warranty

repair work, use of leaded fuel or fuel other

than as specified in the Owner’s Manual.

The replacement of maintenance parts, such

as spark plugs, filters and similar items used in

required maintenance services or the repair or

replacement of maintenance parts beyond the

first replacement interval.

Any SAV on which the odometer has been

replaced or altered and the true mileage

cannot be determined.

The SAV, if the SAV identification number is

altered or cannot be determined, or if the SAV

has been declared a total loss or sold for

salvage purposes.
