The California Air Resources Board and BMW
of North America (BMW NA) are pleased to
explain the emission control system warranty
on your 2005 SAV. In California, new motor
vehicles must be designed, built and equipped
to meet the State’s stringent anti-smog
standards. BMW NA must warrant the
emission control system on your SAV for the
periods of time listed below provided there has
been no abuse, neglect or improper mainte-
nance of your SAV.
Your emission control system may include
parts such as the fuel injection system, the
ignition system, catalytic converter, and engine
computer. Also included may be hoses, belts,
connectors and other emission-related
assemblies.
Where a warrantable condition exists, BMW
NA will repair your SAV at no cost to you
including diagnosis, parts and labor.
Manufacturer’s Warranty Coverage:
– For 3 years or 50,000 miles whichever
occurs first:
1. If your SAV fails a Smog Check inspection,
all necessary repairs and adjustments will
be made by BMW NA to ensure that your
SAV passes the inspection. This is your
emission control system PERFORMANCE
WARRANTY.
2. If any emission-related part on your SAV is
defective, the part will be repaired or replaced
by BMW NA. This is your short-term emission
control system DEFECTS WARRANTY.
– For 7 years or 70,000 miles whichever
occurs first:
If an emission-related part listed in this
Warranty Section specially noted with cover-
age for 7 years or 70,000 miles is defective,the part will be repaired or replaced by BMW
NA. This is your long-term emission control
system DEFECTS WARRANTY.
Owner’s Warranty Responsibilities:
– As the SAV owner, you are responsible for
the performance of the required mainte-
nance listed in your Owner’s Manual. BMW
NA recommends that you retain all receipts
covering maintenance on your SAV, but
BMW NA cannot deny warranty solely for
the lack of receipts or for your failure to
ensure the performance of all scheduled
maintenance.
– You are responsible for presenting your
SAV to an authorized BMW SAV center as
soon as a problem exists. The warranty
repairs should be completed in a reason-
able amount of time, not to exceed 30 days.

aware that BMW NA may deny your
warranty coverage if your SAV or part has
failed due to abuse, neglect, improper
maintenance or unapproved modifications.
