530i, 530xi, 530xi Sports
Wagon, 550i
Full Maintenance Programs are a benefit
designed to help reduce the cost of owner-
ship.
2006 5 Series vehicles purchased from
any Authorized BMW center in the United
States or Puerto Rico are covered by Full
Maintenance for 48 months or 50,000 miles,
whichever occurs first. Coverage begins on
the date of first retail sale or the date the
vehicle is first placed in service as a demon-
strator or company vehicle, whichever is
earlier.
Any authorized BMW center in the United
States or Puerto Rico will perform the
scheduled maintenance services on your
vehicle at no expense to you. The mainte-
nance schedule intervals are based on
average driving conditions and operation.
Should you request more frequent
maintenance service, the cost of these
services will not be covered by the
Maintenance Program.

mended maintenance, as determined by the
Condition Based Service System. Additional
items that need replacement due to normal
wear and tear, and that are not covered by

blades inserts - are included, provided wear
and tear exceeds BMW wear limits. Any
adjustments required due to normal operat-
ing conditions are also included. See pages
6-7 of this booklet for additional information.

presumption that BMW has had a reasonable
number of attempts to conform the vehicle
to its applicable express warranties if, within
18 months from delivery to the buyer or
18,000 miles on the vehicle’s odometer,

respect to parts other than genuine BMW

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 warranted parts.
What is not covered
This warranty does not cover malfunctions
caused by any of the following: accident,
flood, misuse, improper adjustment, modifi-
cation, 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

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.
