2004 BMW X5 3.0I service

In those states and jurisdictions that have
established periodic vehicle emissions tests to
encourage proper vehicle maintenance and
require the car to pass an emissions test
approved by the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency and:
1. The SAV was distributed by BMW of North
America (BMW NA), or sold through the
BMW NA European Delivery Program; and
2. The SAV has been maintained and
operated in accordance with the instruc-
tions for proper maintenance and use set
forth in the X5 Owner’s Manual supplied
with the SAV; and
3. The SAV fails to conform to the applicable
emissions standards of the EPA as judged
by an EPA approved emissions test; and
4. The failure to conform results or will result
in the owner of the SAV having to bear a
penalty or other sanction (including the
denial of the right to use the car) under
local state or federal law if the non-
conformity is not remedied within a
specified period of time.
Then, in accordance with the provisions of
section 207(b) of the Clean Air Act, BMW NA
warrants that if the SAV is eligible for coverage
under this warranty, any non-conformities in
the SAV, which cause it to fail an EPA-ap-
proved emissions test will, without charge for
parts or labor (including diagnosis), be
adjusted, repaired, or replaced, at the option of
BMW NA to proper specifications, in order to
make the SAV comply with applicable emis-
sions standards. The decision to adjust, repair
or replace parts is solely the prerogative of
BMW NA and must reasonably be expected to
correct the failure of the warranted part.
This warranty begins on the date of first retail
sale, or the date the SAV is first placed inservice as a demonstrator or company vehicle,
whichever is earlier. This warranty continues
for a period of 2 years or 24,000 miles,
whichever occurs first, except for specific
emissions control components (as listed on
page 33), for which the warranty period is 8
years or 80,000 miles whichever occurs first.
This warranty is made subject to the terms and
conditions that apply to the Emission Control
System Warranty and the New SAV Limited
Warranty.
No claim under this warranty will be denied on
the basis of use of a properly installed EPA
certified emission part for maintenance and
repair.
A SAV manufacturer may deny an emission
performance warranty claim on the basis of an
uncertified replacement part used in the
maintenance or repair of an SAV only if the
SAV manufacturer presents evidence that the
uncertified replacement part is either defective
in materials or workmanship or not equivalent
from an emission standpoint to the original
equipment part.
Maintenance, replacement, or repair of
emission control devices and systems may
be performed by any automotive repair
establishment or individual using any
certified part.
Immediately after the SAV has failed an EPA
approved emission short test, your claim can
be made at any authorized BMW SAV center.
The authorized BMW SAV center will honor or
deny your claim within the time period
specified by local or state laws (not to exceed
30 days), to avoid further penalties or sanc-
tions. lf the claim is denied, the authorized
BMW SAV center will notify you in writing of the
reason(s). The authorized BMW SAV center is
required by law to honor the claim if notice of
denial is not received by the owner within the
specified time period.
You may obtain further information concerning
the emission warranties, or report violations of
warranty terms, by contacting the Manager,

35 This warranty applies to California certified
SAVs distributed by BMW of North America
(BMW NA) or sold through the BMW NA
European Delivery Program, registered and
operated primarily in California.
BMW NA warrants to the original purchaser
and each subsequent owner that the SAV is:
(a) designed, built and equipped so as to
conform with the applicable California Air
Resources Board emission standards.
(b) free from defects in materials and workman-
ship which cause any part that can affect
emissions to fail to conform with applicable
requirements or to fail a California Smog
Check test or EPA approved short test for a
period of 3 years or 50,000 miles, which-
ever occurs first.
(c) free from defects in materials and workman-
ship in emission related parts, which are
contained in the California Emission
Warranty Parts List on page 38, for a period
of 7 years or 70,000 miles, whichever
occurs first.
This warranty begins on the date of first retail
sale, or the date the SAV is first placed in
service as a demonstrator or company vehicle,
whichever is earlier.
To obtain service under this warranty, the SAV
must be brought, upon failure of a Smog
Check test or upon discovery of the defect, to
the workshop of any authorized BMW SAV
center, during normal business hours. The
authorized BMW SAV center will honor or deny
your claim within 30 days. If the claim is
denied, the authorized BMW SAV center will
notify you in writing of the reason(s). The
authorized BMW SAV center is required by law
to honor the claim if notice is not given to the
owner within 30 days.
California Emission Control
System Limited Warranty*The authorized BMW SAV center will, without
charge for parts or labor (including diagnosis),
either adjust, repair or replace the defective
part and other parts affected by the failure of
the warranted part, if any. If your SAV failed the
California Smog Check test or an EPA
approved short test, then BMW NA will repair
your SAV so that it will pass this test. Items that
require scheduled replacement are warranted
up to the replacement interval specified in the
Service section of this Statement. BMW NA
may repair a part in lieu of replacing it when
performing warranty repairs. Parts for which
replacements are made become the property
of BMW NA. After 3 years or 50,000 miles, and
in accordance with paragraph (c) above, such
repairs are limited to the repair or replacement
of those parts identified in the California
Emissions Warranty List.
If your California registered SAV is between 7
and 8 years old and has been driven less than
80,000 miles, then your SAV is eligible for
additional warranty coverage under the
Federal Emissions Warranty.
A repair performed as the result of a smog
check test failure due to a defect in a part,
which is warranted for 7 years/70,000 miles, is
covered.
In all cases, a reasonable time, not to exceed
30 days, must be allowed for a warranty repair
to be completed, after the SAV is received by
the authorized BMW SAV center.
It is the owner’s responsibility to have all
required maintenance services performed (at
the owner’s expense), as prescribed in the
maintenance schedule for the BMW Emission
Control System. Service intervals are com-
puted by the service interval indicator and
displayed on the instrument panel.
*The California Emissions Control System
Limited Warranty applies to all 2004 U.S.
specification BMW SAVs sold, leased, and/or
registered in California, Maine, Massachusetts
or Vermont.

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.
