Limited Warranty -
Rust Perforation 2005 Models

34 parts are warranted 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 or non-EPA certified parts does not
invalidate the warranty on other components,
unless non-BMW parts 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.

causes the car to fail to conform to applicable
emission regulations.
Any car on which the odometer has been
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 INCIDENTAL
AND CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, INCLUD-
ING LOSS OF TIME, INCONVENIENCE, OR
LOSS OF USE OF THE VEHICLE, FOR ANY
BREACH OF ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED
WARRANTY, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED
WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY,
APPLICABLE TO THIS PRODUCT.
Some states do not allow limitations on how
long an implied warranty lasts, or the exclu-
sion 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.
These federal warranty provisions also apply
to all vehicles sold in all U.S. states and
territories regardless of whether a state has
enacted state warranty provisions that differ
from the federal provisions.

39 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 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 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, parts 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 a BMW center as a
condition of reimbursement for emergency
repairs not performed by a BMW center.
The use of replacement parts, which are not of
equivalent quality, may impair the effective-
ness of emission control systems. If other than
genuine 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 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 car on which the odometer has been
replaced or altered and the true mileage
cannot be determined.
The car, if the vehicle identification number is
altered or cannot be determined, or if the car
has been declared a total loss or sold for
salvage purposes.
