California Emission Control
Warranty Statement*
Your Warranty Rights and
Obligations
The California Air Resources Board and
BMW of North America (BMW NA) are
pleased to explain the emission control
system warranty on your 2006 vehicle. 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 vehicle for the periods of time listed
below provided there has been no 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
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 whicheveroccurs first:
1. If your vehicle fails a Smog Check inspec- tion, all necessary repairs and adjustments
will be made by BMW NA to ensure that
your vehicle passes the inspection. This is
your emission control system PERFOR-
MANCE WARRANTY.
2. If any emission-related part on your vehicle 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 specially noted on
page 42 as having coverage 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 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.
– You are responsible for presenting your 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.
– As the vehicle owner, you should also be aware that BMW NA may deny your
warranty coverage if your vehicle or part
has failed due to abuse, neglect, improper
maintenance or unapproved modifications.
If you have any questions regarding your
warranty rights and responsibilities, you

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 replacement
of the emission control systems performed by
any automotive repair establishment, 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 available service establishment or by any
individual using any replacement part.
A repair not completed within 30 days consti-
tutes an emergency. BMW NA will reimburse
the owner for such emergency repairs (includ-
ing labor, parts and diagnosis not to exceed
BMW suggested retail price for all warranted
parts replaced and labor charges based on
the manufacturer’s recommended 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 effective-
ness 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 partscause 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 inade-
quate 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.
General
The warranty gives you specific legal rights,
and you may also have other rights which
vary from state to state.
THE DURATION OF ANY IMPLIED
WARRANTIES, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED
WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, IS
LIMITED TO THE DURATION OF THE
EXPRESS WARRANTIES HEREIN. BMW
OF NORTH AMERICA 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,
INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTY OF
MERCHANTABILITY, APPLICABLE TO THIS
