Rust Perforation 2004 X5

31 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
par ts or non-EPA certified parts does not
invalidate the warranty on other components,
unless non-BMW par ts or non-EPA certified
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, improper adjustment, modification,
alteration, tampering, disconnection, improper
or inadequate maintenance, use of leaded fuel
or fuels containing more than 10% ethanol, or
other oxygenates with more than 2.8% oxygen
by weight (i.e., more than 15% MTBE or more
than 3% methanol plus an equivalent amount
of co-solvent).
The replacement of maintenance parts, such
as spark plugs, filters and similar items used in
required maintenance services, the repair or
replacement of maintenance parts beyond the
first required inspection/maintenance, or if the
part has been replaced earlier for reasons
other than it being defective.

emission regulations.

replaced or altered and the true mileage

General
These warranties give you specific legal rights,
and you may also have other rights which vary
from state to state.
THE DURATION OF ANY IMPLIED WARRAN-
TIES, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTY
OF MERCHANTABILITY, IS LIMITED TO THE
DURATION OF THE EXPRESS WARRANTIES
HEREIN.
BMW NA HEREBY EXCLUDES INCIDEN-
TAL AND CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES,
INCLUDING LOSS OF TIME, INCONVE-
NIENCE, OR LOSS OF USE OF THE SAV,
FOR ANY BREACH OF ANY EXPRESS OR
IMPLIED WARRANTY, INCLUDING THE
IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANT-
ABILITY, APPLICABLE TO THIS PRODUCT.
Some states do not allow limitations on how
long an implied warranty lasts, or the
exclusion or limitation of incidental or
consequential damages, so the above
limitations and exclusions may not apply to
you. Additionally, if you are a California,
Maine, Massachusetts or Vermont resident
and your vehicle is registered in that state,
your vehicle is eligible for California
Emissions Warranty coverage.

36 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, par ts 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 thangenuine 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.
