2006 BMW 5 SERIES TOURING mileage

Limited Warranty –
Rust Perforation 2006 Models
BMW NA warrants this original vehicle
against defects in materials or workmanship
which will result in rust perforation of the
vehicle body for a period of 12 years
unlimted mileage, commencing 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 discovery of
any rust perforation, to the workshop of any
authorized BMW center. This BMW center
will, without charge for parts or labor, either
repair or replace the defective part(s). The
decision to repair or replace said part(s) is
solely the prerogative of BMW of North
America. Parts for which replacements are
made become the property of BMW of North
America.
REQUIRED MAINTENANCE:
In order to keep this warranty in effect, the
vehicle must be inspected at least every two
years. Any areas requiring preventative
maintenance must be repaired. (THIS
INSPECTION/MAINTENANCE IS AT THE
OWNER’S EXPENSE).
The Inspection/Maintenance consists of:
a. Washing the chassis before inspection, if necessary, due to dirt accumulation.
b. Repairing any damages to undercoating or paint due to stone chips, gravel
erosion, scratches, or other external influ-
ences.

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.
