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, INCLUDING LOSS OF TIME,
INCONVENIENCE, OR LOSS OF USE OF
THE VEHICLE, FOR ANY BREACH OF ANY
EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTY, IN-
CLUDING 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.

Federal Emissions System
Defect Warranty (Valid only in
the U.S.A. and Puerto Rico)
32 This warranty applies only to U.S. specification
vehicles 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 car (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 36), 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 replacements 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 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
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 establish-
ment 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 emer-
gency 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 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

33 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 war-
ranted 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.
The car or any part of the car unless a failure
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
cannot be determined.
The car, if the vehicle identification number is
altered or cannot be read, or if the car has
been declared a total loss or sold for salvage
purposes.

TIES, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTY

ING LOSS OF TIME, INCONVENIENCE, OR

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.

The California Air Resources Board and BMW

explain the emission control system warranty

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 vehicle for the
periods of time listed below provided there has
been no abuse, neglect or improper mainte-
nance of your vehicle.
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 vehicle at no cost to you
including diagnosis, parts and labor.
Manufacturer’s Warranty Coverage:
– For 3 years or 50,000 miles whichever
occurs first:

tion, all necessary repairs and adjustments

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

70,000 miles is defective, the part will berepaired or replaced by BMW NA. This is your
long-term emission control system DEFECTS
WARRANTY.

– As the vehicle owner, you are responsible
for the performance of the required
maintenance listed in your Owner’s
Manual. BMW NA recommends that you
retain all receipts covering maintenance on
your vehicle, but BMW NA cannot deny
warranty solely for the lack of receipts or for
your failure to ensure the performance of all
scheduled maintenance.

vehicle to an authorized BMW 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.

warranty coverage if your vehicle or part
has failed due to abuse, neglect, improper
maintenance or unapproved modifications.

California Emission Control
System Limited Warranty*
This warranty applies to California certified
vehicles distributed by BMW of North America
(BMW NA) or sold through the BMW NA
European Delivery Program, registered and
operated primarily in California.
BMW NA warrants to the original purchaser
and each subsequent owner that the vehicle
is:
(a) designed, built and equipped so as to
conform with the applicable California Air
Resources Board emission standards.
(b) free from defects in materials and workman-
ship which cause any part that can affect
emissions to fail to conform with applicable
requirements or to fail a California Smog
Check test or EPA approved short test for a
period of 3 years or 50,000 miles, which-
ever occurs first.
(c) free from defects in materials and workman-
ship in emission related parts, which are
contained in the California Emission
Warranty Parts List on page 40, for a period
of 7 years or 70,000 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.
To obtain service under this warranty, the
vehicle must be brought, upon failure of a
Smog Check test or upon discovery of the
defect, to the workshop of any authorized
BMW center, during normal business hours.
The BMW center will honor or deny your claim
within 30 days. If 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 is not given to the owner
within 30 days.
The BMW center will, without charge for parts
or labor (including diagnosis), either adjust,repair or replace the defective part and other
parts affected by the failure of the warranted
part, if any. If your vehicle failed the California
Smog Check test or an EPA approved short
test, then BMW NA will repair your vehicle so
that it will pass this test. Items that require
scheduled replacement are warranted up to
the replacement interval specified in the
Service section of this Statement. BMW NA
may repair a part in lieu of replacing it when
performing warranty repairs. Parts for which
replacements are made become the property
of BMW NA. After 3 years or 50,000 miles, and
in accordance with paragraph (c) above, such
repairs are limited to the repair or replacement
of those parts identified in the California
Emissions Warranty List.
If your California registered vehicle is between
7 and 8 years old and has been driven less
than 80,000 miles, then your vehicle is eligible
for additional warranty coverage under the
Federal Emissions Warranty.
A repair performed as the result of a smog
check test failure due to a defect in a part,
which is warranted for 7 years/70,000 miles, is
covered.
In all cases, a reasonable time, not to exceed
30 days, must be allowed for a warranty repair
to be completed, after the car is received by
the BMW center.
It is the owner’s responsibility to have all
required maintenance services performed (at
the owner’s expense), as prescribed in the
maintenance schedule for the BMW Emission
Control System. Service intervals are com-
puted by the service interval indicator and
displayed on the instrument panel.
*The California Emissions Control System
Limited Warranty applies to all 2005 U.S.
specification BMW vehicles sold, leased,
and/or registered in California, Maine,
Massachusetts or Vermont.
However, BMW NA will not deny your warranty
repair claims solely because you do not have
maintenance records or you did not perform
the required maintenance unless BMW NA
