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 more than
four weeks it is advisable to:
a) consider using a proper trickle charger,
following the charger manufacturer’s
instructions, to maintain the battery’s state of
charge; or
b) 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.
Corrosion Protection
Extensive corrosion protection measures
implemented by BMW now make it possible to
offer a six-year limited anti-corrosion warranty
against rust perforation on your vehicle
provided that the vehicle is maintained in
accordance with the provisions of the New
Vehicle Limited Warranty as outlined in the
Warranty Section of this Statement (page 27).
The major degree of corrosion protection is
due to the electrophoretic dip painting process
which cathodically deposits paint particles on
all body parts, attracting paint particles into the
minutest cavities or seams. Body parts are
designed to provide optimum corrosion
protection.During manufacture, exterior body parts
receive an additional corrosion protection coat.
Hood, trunk, doors and other body parts with
metal folds are coated with PVC and sealed
from the outside.
All floor panels receive a resilient coating of
PVC for maximum protection against damage
due to stones, etc.
Corrosion protection materials tested over
many years are applied to the surfaces of
cavities and to the entire underside of the
vehicle during and after assembly.
Requirements for maintaining the six-year
limited anti-corrosion warranty are outlined in
the Warranty Section of this Statement (page
29).
Restoring corrosion protection
Please take care that anti-corrosion material is
replaced when your car is repaired after body or
chassis damage.
BMW will not accept any liability for any parts
and accessories not approved by BMW.
Underbody maintenance
The underbody has to be cleaned at least once
a year, in spring, with plain water in order to
remove mud, chemical sediments and other
deposits. If those materials are not removed,
corrosion (rust) will occur.
Your BMW center will do this anti-corrosion
service for you.
WARNING
Do not apply additional undercoating or rust-
proofing on or near the exhaust manifold,
exhaust pipes, catalytic converter or heat
shields. During driving, the substance used for
undercoating could overheat and cause a fire.

As a BMW owner, you will experience BMW
quality first hand. Our dedication to excellence
in design, engineering, and service is among
the best in the world. And we invest heavily
every year in our people and facilities to
ensure that our quality standards are consis-
tently applied from the factory to the BMW
center. Par t of that investment program is
devoted to our multi-million-dollar
Import Processing Centers staffed by our
highly trained specialists.
At these state-of-the-art facilities, each BMW is
given a thorough inspection after its trans-
atlantic shipment to the United States.
Imperfections in the mechanical and electrical
systems or damage to the sheet metal, paint,
trim or other components of the vehicle which
may occur during transportation from the
factory to the United States are normally
detected and corrected at the Import Process-
ing Centers in the United States. Any defect in
material or workmanship which occurs during
the warranty period is covered under the New
Vehicle Limited Warranty.
BMW Import Processing Center
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 BMW CENTER TO DETERMINE
WHETHER ANY ADJUSTMENT PROGRAM
IS APPLICABLE TO YOUR MOTOR
VEHICLE. 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 condition
covered by these statutes in a reasonable
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-
