2004 BMW X5 4.4I air condition

BMW Maintenance Programs -
2004 X5 3.0i, 4.4i
Maintenance Programs are a benefit designed
to help reduce the cost of scheduled and
unscheduled maintenance.
Every 2004 X5 purchased from an authorized
BMW SAV center in the United States or
Puerto Rico is covered by Full Maintenance for
48 months or 50,000 miles, whichever occurs
first. Coverage 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.
Any authorized BMW SAV center in the United
States or Puerto Rico will perform the sched-
uled or additional maintenance services on
your vehicle at no expense to you. The
maintenance schedule intervals are based on
normal driving conditions and operation.
Should you request more frequent mainte-
nance service, the cost of these services
will not be covered by the Maintenance
Program.
Coverage
Full Maintenance covers all factory-recom-
mended maintenance, as determined by the
Service Interval Indicator. Additional items that
need replacement due to normal wear and
tear, and that are not covered by the original
New SAV Limited Warranty - such as brake
pads, brake rotors and wiper blade inserts -
are included, provided wear and tear exceeds
BMW specifications. Any adjustments required
due to normal operating conditions are also
included. See pages 5-8 of this statement for
additional information.
Maintenance Intervals
Time intervals should be followed using the
maintenance interval as indicated by the BMW
Service Indicator lights on the check control
panel in the dashboard.This BMW X5 Service and Warranty Informa-
tion book should be presented to your
authorized BMW SAV center when mainte-
nance is required. Your authorized BMW SAV

Special Programs
SOMETIMES BMW OF NORTH AMERICA
OFFERS A SPECIAL ADJUSTMENT
PROGRAM TO PAY ALL OR PART OF THE
COST OF CERTAIN REPAIRS BEYOND THE
TERMS OF THE WARRANTY. CHECK WITH
YOUR AUTHORIZED BMW SAV CENTER TO
DETERMINE WHETHER ANY ADJUST-
MENT PROGRAM IS APPLICABLE TO YOUR
SAV. 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 SAV
center, to repair in a reasonable number of
attempts, any defect or condition which
substantially impairs the use, value, or safety
of a new SAV 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 SAV 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 condition
covered by these statutes in a reasonable
number of attempts, we may be obligated
either to replace the SAV 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 SAV 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

The BMW Roadside Assistance Program is
not a warranty and does not affect your rights
under the New SAV Limited Warranty.

This warranty applies only to U.S. specification
SAVs distributed by BMW of North America
(BMW NA) or sold through the BMW NA
European Delivery Program.
In accordance with the defect warranty
provisions of section 207(b) of the Clean Air
Act, BMW NA warrants to the first retail
purchaser, and each subsequent purchaser,
that the SAV (a) was designed, built and
equipped so as to conform, at the time of sale,
with all regulations 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 34), 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 SAV 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 SAV must be
brought to any authorized BMW SAV center
during normal business hours.
The authorized BMW SAV 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 SAV is received by the authorized
BMW SAV center.For assistance in determining which specific
parts or components of your vehicle are
covered under this warranty, please contact
your authorized BMW SAV 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 X5
Owner’s Manual. It is strongly recommended
that any replacement parts used for mainte-
nance, repair or replacement 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
cer tified 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 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 emer-
gency repairs (including labor, par ts 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
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 the emission control system. If other
than certified BMW Service Parts or Authorized
Remanufactured 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
Federal Emissions
System Defect Warranty
(Valid only in the U.S.A. and
Puerto Rico)
30

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.
