Emission Control
Maintenance Schedule
The maintenance schedule as shown is
required for the proper functioning of the
emission control systems for optimum vehicle
performance and fuel economy.

Emission Control Components
Oxygen sensorReplace at intervals
of 100,000 miles
Oxygen Sensor Service: The oxygen sensor
deteriorates strictly on a mileage basis and
must therefore be replaced to maximize
vehicle fuel economy and minimize exhaust
pollution.
Battery Care
If your car is driven only for short distances of
less than 10 miles over a prolonged period of
time, without an occasional drive at highway
speeds, the engine’s charging system will not
maintain the battery. Insufficient use of the
vehicle could result in short term starting
problems and in the long term could damage
the battery.
In case the car is not operated for several
weeks it is advisable to:
a) slide battery switch to “Off”position. Refer
to “Battery Switch”in vehicle owner’s
manual.
b) consider using a proper trickle charger,
following the charger manufacturer’s
instructions, to maintain the battery’s state
of charge; or
c) consult your BMW center regarding battery
removal. Once removed, the battery must
be charged and stored in a cool, dry place
where it can be protected from freezing. If
the battery will be stored for over 3
months, it must be recharged every 3
months, or else it will become damaged
and useless.
Please consult with your BMW center for
further guidance and information.

Customer Assistance–
Notification
During a specific period (usually the earlier of
12 months or 12,000 miles, though this period
varies by state), some states require us or
our authorized BMW center, to repair in a
reasonable number of attempts, any defect or
condition which substantially impairs the use,
value, or safety of a new vehicle sold, leased
or registered in that state.
A “reasonable number of attempts”is gener-
ally defined as (i) two or more attempts to
repair the same defect (the number of
attempts may vary by state) or (ii) that the
same defect has caused the vehicle to be out
of service by reason of repair for more than
30 days (this period may vary by state),
except for delays created by conditions
beyond our control.
If we are unable to correct a defect or condi-
tion covered by these statutes in a reason-
able number of attempts, we may be
obligated either to replace the vehicle or
reimburse the owner/lessee in an amount
equal to the purchase price or lease
payments paid by the owner/lessee, less the
amount directly attributable to use of the
vehicle by the owner/lessee.
YOU SHOULD SEND WRITTEN NOTIFICA-
TION DIRECTLY TO BMW OF NORTH
AMERICA OF THE EXISTENCE OF AN
ALLEGED DEFECT. SEND WRITTEN
COMMUNICATION TO THE NATIONAL
CUSTOMER RELATIONS DEPARTMENT
ADDRESS LISTED BELOW.
