Federal Emissions System
Defect Warranty (Valid only in
the U.S.A. and Puerto Rico)
This warranty applies only to U.S. specifica-
tion vehicles distributed by BMW of North
America (BMW NA) or sold through the BMW
NA European Delivery Program.
In accordance with the defect warranty provi-
sions of section 207(b) of the Clean Air Act,
BMW NA warrants to the first retail purchaser,
and each subsequent purchaser, that the car
(a) was designed, built and equipped so as to
conform, at the time of sale, with all regula-
tions 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 38),
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 vehicle 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 car must be
brought to any authorized BMW center during
normal business hours.
The BMW 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 car is received by the
BMW center.
For assistance in determining which specific
parts or components of your vehicle are
covered under this warranty, please contact
your BMW 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 Owner’s Manual. It is
strongly recommended that any replacement
parts used for maintenance, repair or replace-
ment 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 certified 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 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 emergency repairs (including labor,
parts 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 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 the emission control system. If other
than certified BMW Service Parts or
Authorized Remanufactured Parts are used
for maintenance, repair or replacement of
components affecting emission control, the
owner should obtain assurances that such
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.

Federal Emissions Performance
Warranty (Valid only in the
U.S.A. and Puerto Rico)
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 car was distributed by BMW of North
America (BMW NA), or sold through the
BMW NA European Delivery Program; and
2. The car has been maintained and
operated in accordance with the instruc-
tions for proper maintenance and use set
forth in the Owner’s Manual supplied with
the car; and
3. The car 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 car 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 speci-
fied period of time.
Then, in accordance with the provisions of
section 207(b) of the Clean Air Act, BMW NA
warrants that if the car is eligible for coverage
under this warranty, any non-conformities in
the car, which cause it to fail an EPA-
approved 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 car comply with applicable
emissions standards. The decision to adjust,
repair or replace parts is solely the preroga-
tive 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 vehicle is first placed in
service 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 forspecific emissions control components (as
listed on page 38), 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
Vehicle 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 vehicle manufacturer may deny an
emission performance warranty claim on the
basis of an uncertified replacement part used
in the maintenance or repair of a vehicle only
if the vehicle 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 car has failed an EPA
approved emission short test, your claim can
be made at any authorized BMW center. The
BMW 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 sanctions. lf the claim is
denied, the BMW center will notify you in
writing of the reason(s). The BMW 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 concern-
ing the emission warranties, or report viola-
tions of warranty terms, by contacting the
Director, Field Operations and Support
Division (6406J), Environmental Protection
Agency, 401 “M” Street, SW, Washington,
D.C. 20460.

State’s stringent anti-smog standards. BMW
NA must warrant the emission control system
on your vehicle for the periods of time listed

neglect or improper maintenance of your
vehicle.
Your emission control system may include
parts such as the fuel injection system, the

engine computer. Also included may be
hoses, belts, connectors and other emission-
related assemblies.
Where a warrantable condition exists, BMW
NA will repair your vehicle at no cost to you
including diagnosis, parts and labor.
Manufacturer’s Warranty Coverage:

occurs first:
1. If your vehicle fails a Smog Check inspec-
tion, all necessary repairs and adjustments

your vehicle passes the inspection. This is
your emission control system PERFOR-
MANCE WARRANTY.

repaired or replaced by BMW NA. This is
your short-term emission control system
DEFECTS WARRANTY.

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 establishment, 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 consti-
tutes an emergency. BMW NA will reimburse
the owner for such emergency repairs (includ-
ing labor, parts and diagnosis not to exceed
BMW suggested retail price for all warranted
parts replaced and labor charges based on
the manufacturer’s recommended 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 Remanufactured Parts are used
for maintenance, repair or replacement of
components affecting emission control, the
owner should obtain assurances that such
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 does not invalidate the warranty on
other components, unless non-BMW partscause 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 inade-
quate 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.

vary from state to state.

WARRANTIES, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED
