The BMW Maintenance Program -
2006 X3 3.0i
The BMW Maintenance Program is a benefit
designed to help reduce the cost of scheduled
and unscheduled maintenance.
Every 2006 X3 purchased from an authorized
BMW SAV center in the United States or Puerto
Rico is covered by The BMW Maintenance Pro-
gram 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 demonstrator or company vehicle,
whichever is earlier.
Any authorized BMW SAV center in the United
States or Puerto Rico will perform the scheduled
or additional maintenance services on your vehi-
cle at no expense to you. The maintenance
schedule intervals are based on normal driving
conditions and operation. Should you request
more frequent maintenance service, the cost of
these services will not be covered by the Mainte-
nance Program.
Coverage
The BMW Maintenance Program covers all
factory-recommended maintenance, as deter-
mined by the Service Interval Indicator. Additional
items that need replacement due to normal wear
and tear, and that are not covered by the original
New SAV Limited Warranty - such as brake pads,
brake rotors and wiper blade inserts - are
included, provided wear and tear exceeds BMW
specifications. Any adjustments required due to
normal operating conditions are also included.
See pages 5-8 of this booklet for additional infor-
mation.
Maintenance Intervals
Time intervals should be followed using the
maintenance interval as indicated by the BMW
Service Interval Indicator lights on the check con-
trol panel in the dashboard.
This BMW X3 Service and Warranty Information
Booklet should be presented to your authorized
BMW SAV center when maintenance is required. Your authorized BMW SAV center will stamp this
book documenting the services or maintenance
performed.

Limited Warranty.
– Gasoline and gasoline additive.

– Tires, wheel alignment, tire balance and rota- tion.
– Wear and tear of soft trim items, such as: seats, carpets, moldings, headliner, door panels and
all chrome trim.

or deterioration due to driving habits or condi-
tions, improper repair, environmental influ-
ences, flood, accident or fire damage, road salt
corrosion, alteration, installation of non-BMW
accessories, or use of improper, poor quality or
contaminated fuel.
– Altered or unreadable Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) or odometer irregularities or vehi-
cles where the true mileage cannot be deter-
mined.

Federal Emissions System Defect
Warranty (Valid only in the U.S.A.
and Puerto Rico)
This warranty applies only to U.S. specification
SAVs distributed by BMW of North America
(BMW NA) or sold through the BMW NA Euro-
pean 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 SAV (a)
was designed, built and equipped so as to con-
form, at the time of sale, with all regulations of
the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency appli-
cable at the time of manufacture and (b) is free
from defects in materials and workmanship
which would cause it to fail to conform with appli-
cable regulations for a period of 2 years or
24,000 miles, whichever occurs first, except for
specific emission control components (as listed
on page 34), 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 SAV is first placed in service
as a demonstrator or company vehicle, whichever
is earlier.
Warranty claims must be made as soon as rea-
sonably possible after a defect is discovered. To
make a claim, the SAV must be brought to any
authorized BMW SAV center during normal busi-
ness hours.
The authorized BMW SAV 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 reasonable time must be allowed for
warranty repairs to be completed after the SAV is
received by the authorized BMW SAV center. For assistance in determining which specific
parts or components of your vehicle are covered
under this warranty, please contact your autho-
rized BMW SAV center.
It is the owner’s responsibility to have all sched-
uled inspection and maintenance services per-
formed (at the owner’s expense), as prescribed in
the maintenance schedule for the BMW Emis-
sion Control System. Service intervals are com-
puted 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 X3 Owner’s Manual. It is
strongly recommended that any replacement
parts used for maintenance, repair or replace-
ment of emission control systems be certified
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 certified BMW Service Parts. However, the
cost of such service or parts will not be covered
under this warranty, except in emergency situa-
tions. In an emergency situation, where an
authorized BMW SAV center or a warranty
replacement part is not reasonably available
(within 30 days), repairs may be performed at any
available service establishment using any equiva-
lent 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 an authorized
BMW SAV center as a condition of reimburse-
ment 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 the emission control system. If other than cer-
tified 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.

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 SAV. 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 SAV for the periods of time listed below pro-
vided there has been no abuse, neglect or
improper maintenance of your SAV.
Your emission control system may include parts
such as the fuel injection system, the ignition
system, catalytic converter, and engine com-
puter. Also included may be hoses, belts, con-
nectors and other emission-related assemblies.
Where a warrantable condition exists, BMW NA
will repair your SAV at no cost to you including
diagnosis, parts and labor.
Manufacturer’s Warranty Coverage:
• For 3 years or 50,000 miles whichever occurs
first:
1. If your SAV fails a Smog Check inspection, all
necessary repairs and adjustments will be
made by BMW NA to ensure that your SAV
passes the inspection. This is your emission
control system PERFORMANCE WAR-
RANTY.
2. If any emission-related part on your SAV is defective, the part will be repaired or replaced
by BMW NA. This is your short-term emis-
sion control system DEFECTS WARRANTY.
• For 7 years or 70,000 miles whichever occurs
first:
If an emission-related part listed in this War-
ranty Section specially noted with 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 SAV owner, you are responsible for the
performance of the required maintenance listed
in your Owner’s Manual. BMW NA recom-
mends that you retain all receipts covering
maintenance on your SAV, 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 SAV to an authorized BMW SAV center as soon as a
problem exists. The warranty repairs should be
completed in a reasonable amount of time, not
to exceed 30 days.

age if your SAV or part has failed due to abuse,
neglect, improper maintenance or unapproved
modifications.

California Emission Control
System Limited Warranty*
This warranty applies to California certified SAVs
distributed by BMW of North America (BMW NA)
or sold through the BMW NA European Delivery
Program, registered and operated primarily in
California.
BMW NA warrants to the original purchaser and
each subsequent owner that the SAV is:
a. designed, built and equipped so as to con- form with the applicable California Air
Resources Board emission standards.
b. free from defects in materials and workman- ship which cause any part that can affect
emissions to fail to conform with applicable
requirements or to fail a California Smog
Check test or EPA approved short test for a
period of 3 years or 50,000 miles, whichever
occurs first.
c. free from defects in materials and workman- ship in emission related parts, which are con-
tained in the California Emission Warranty
Parts List on page 38, for a period of 7 years
or 70,000 miles, whichever occurs first.
This warranty begins on the date of first retail
sale, or the date the SAV is first placed in service
as a demonstrator or company vehicle, whichever
is earlier.
To obtain service under this warranty, the SAV
must be brought, upon failure of a Smog Check
test or upon discovery of the defect, to the work-
shop of any authorized BMW SAV center, during
normal business hours. The authorized BMW
SAV center will honor or deny your claim within
30 days. If the claim is denied, the authorized
BMW SAV center will notify you in writing of the
reason(s). The authorized BMW SAV center is
required by law to honor the claim if notice is not
given to the owner within 30 days. The authorized BMW SAV center will, without
charge for parts or labor (including diagnosis),
either adjust, repair or replace the defective part
and other parts affected by the failure of the war-
ranted part, if any. If your SAV failed the California
Smog Check test or an EPA approved short test,
then BMW NA will repair your SAV so that it will
pass this test. Items that require scheduled
replacement are warranted up to the replace-
ment interval specified in the Service section of
this Statement. BMW NA may repair a part in lieu
of replacing it when performing warranty repairs.
Parts for which replacements are made become
the property of BMW NA. After 3 years or 50,000
miles, and in accordance with paragraph (c)
above, such repairs are limited to the repair or
replacement of those parts identified in the Cali-
fornia Emissions Warranty List.
If your California registered SAV is between 7 and
8 years old and has been driven less than 80,000
miles, then your SAV is eligible for additional war-
ranty coverage under the Federal Emissions War-
ranty.
A repair performed as the result of a smog check
test failure due to a defect in a part, which is war-
ranted for 7 years/70,000 miles, is covered.
In all cases, a reasonable time, not to exceed 30
days, must be allowed for a warranty repair to be
completed, after the SAV is received by the
authorized BMW SAV center.
It is the owner’s responsibility to have all required
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 service
interval indicator and displayed on the instrument
panel.
*The California Emissions Control System Lim-
ited Warranty applies to all 2006 U.S. specifica-
tion BMW SAVs sold, leased, and/or registered in
California, Maine, Massachusetts or Vermont.
