New SAV Limited Warranty – 2006
X3 (Valid only in the U.S.A. and
Puerto Rico)
Warrantor
BMW NA warrants 2006 U.S. specification X3
SAVs distributed by BMW NA or sold through the
BMW NA European Delivery Program against
defects in materials or workmanship to the first
retail purchaser, and each subsequent purchaser.
Warranty Period
The warranty period is 48 months or 50,000
miles, whichever occurs first.
Warranty Begins
This warranty begins on the date of first retail
sale, or the date the SAV is first placed in ser-
vice as a demonstrator or company vehicle,
whichever is earlier.
Warranty Coverage
To obtain service under this limited warranty, the
SAV must be brought, upon discovery of a defect
in material or workmanship, to the workshop of
any authorized BMW SAV center, during normal
business hours. The authorized BMW SAV cen-
ter will, without charge for parts or labor, either
repair or replace the defective part(s) using new
or authorized remanufactured parts. The deci-
sion to repair or replace said part(s) is solely the
prerogative of BMW NA. Parts for which replace-
ments 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
SAV is received by the authorized BMW SAV
center.
Safety Belt Warranty - Kansas
Safety belts are covered under the BMW New
SAV Limited Warranty for defects in material or
workmanship for a period of 10 years, unlimited
mileage from the date of purchase. In order to be
eligible for this coverage, the SAV must be a new SAV retailed in the State of Kansas and the repair
performed by an authorized BMW SAV center in
Kansas.
Towing/Other Owner Benefits
A 24-hour Roadside Assistance Program is avail-
able to every BMW owner during the New SAV
Limited Warranty period.

For additional details on towing and other owner
benefits please refer to the BMW Roadside
Assistance section of this Statement (page 25).
Other Items
Wheel alignment, balancing and wiper blade
inserts are covered up to 2,000 miles.
Items which are subject to wear and tear or
deterioration due to driving habits or condi-
tions, such as brake pads/linings, brake
discs, clutch disc, pressure plate, filters,
upholstery, trim and chrome items, paint fin-
ish, drive belts, glass, and similar items, are
specifically limited to defects in material or
workmanship.
This warranty does not apply to the
following:
Damage which results from negligence, improper
operation of the SAV, improper repair, lack of or
improper maintenance, environmental influ-
ences, flood, accident or fire damage, road salt
corrosion, or use of improper or contaminated
fuel.
Damage to the engine, transmission or any
related component caused by improper shifting
of the transmission.
Maintenance services and parts when replaced
during maintenance such as spark plugs, lubri-
cants, fluids, engine tuneup parts, replacement
of filters, coolant, and refrigerant.
Failure to maintain the SAV properly in accor-
dance with the instructions in the X3 Owner’s
29

However, the use of non-BMW replacement
parts or non-EPA certified parts does not invali-
date 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, modification, alter-
ation, 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 SAV or any part of the SAV unless a failure
causes the SAV to fail to conform to applicable
emission regulations.
Any SAV on which the odometer has been
replaced or altered and the true mileage cannot
be determined.
The SAV, if the vehicle identification number is
altered or cannot be read, or if the SAV has been
declared a total loss or sold for salvage purposes.
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, INCLUD-
ING LOSS OF TIME, INCONVENIENCE, OR
LOSS OF USE OF THE SAV, FOR ANY BREACH
OF ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTY,
INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTY OF
MERCHANTABILITY, APPLICABLE TO THIS
PRODUCT.
Some states do not allow limitations on how long
an implied warranty lasts, or the exclusion or lim-
itation 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 vehi-
cle is eligible for California Emissions Warranty
coverage.

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 demon-
strates that such lack of required maintenance is
a direct cause of the emission control system
failure. The instructions for required maintenance
and use can be found in the X5 Owner’s Manual
and in the Service section of this Statement.
It is strongly recommended that any replacement
parts used for maintenance, repair or replace-
ment of emission control systems be genuine
BMW Service Parts or BMW Authorized
Remanufactured Parts. Without invalidating this
warranty, the owner may elect to have mainte-
nance, 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 genu-
ine 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 SAV 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 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 (including
labor, parts and diagnosis not to exceed BMW
suggested retail price for all warranted parts
replaced and labor charges based on the manu-
facturer’s recommended time allowance for the
warranty repair and the geographically appropri-
ate hourly labor rate) that are covered under this
warranty. Replaced parts and paid invoices must
be presented to an authorized BMW SAV center
as a condition of reimbursement for emergency
repairs not performed by an authorized BMW
SAV center.
The use of replacement parts, which are not of
equivalent quality, may impair the effectiveness
of emission control systems. If other than genu-
ine BMW Service Parts or Authorized Remanu-
factured Parts are used for maintenance, repair
or replacement of components affecting emis-
sion control, the owner should obtain assurances
that such parts are warranted by their manufac- turer 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, dis-
connection, improper or inadequate mainte-
nance, except if performed by an authorized
BMW SAV 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 SAV on which the odometer has been
replaced or altered and the true mileage cannot
be determined.
The SAV, if the SAV identification number is
altered or cannot be determined, or if the SAV
has been declared a total loss or sold for salvage
purposes.
