2006 BMW 5 SERIES TOURING air condition

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 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 compo-
nents (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
replacements are made become the
property of BMW NA. In all cases, a reason-
able 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
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 replace-
ment of the emission control systems
performed by any automotive repair estab-
lishment, 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 reason-
ably available (within 30 days), repairs may
be performed at any available service estab-
lishment 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 effec-
tiveness 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

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 for
specific 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.

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

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:

1. If your vehicle fails a Smog Check inspec- tion, all necessary repairs and adjust-
ments will be made by BMW NA to
ensure that your vehicle passes the

your long-term emission control system DEFECTS WARRANTY.
Owner’s Warranty Responsibilities:
– As the vehicle owner, you are responsible
for the performance of the required
maintenance listed in your Owner’s

receipts or for your failure to ensure the
performance of all scheduled mainte-
nance.

soon as a problem exists. The warranty
repairs should be completed in a reason-
able amount of time, not to exceed 30

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 replace-
ment 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 avail-
able service establishment or by any individ-
ual 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 effec-
tiveness 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 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.
