2006 BMW Z4M COUPE air condition

Federal Emissions Performance
Warranty (Valid only in the U.S.A.
and Puerto Rico)
In those states and jurisdictions that have estab-
lished periodic vehicle emissions tests to encour-
age proper vehicle maintenance and require the
car to pass an emissions test approved by the
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and:
1. The car was distributed by BMW of North America (BMW NA), or sold through the
BMW NA European Delivery Program; and
2. The car has been maintained and operated in accordance with the instructions for proper
maintenance and use set forth in the Owner’s
Manual supplied with the car; and
3. The car fails to conform to the applicable emissions standards of the EPA as judged by
an EPA approved emissions test; and
4. The failure to conform results or will result in the owner of the car having to bear a penalty
or other sanction (including the denial of the
right to use the car) under local state or fed-
eral law if the non-conformity is not remedied
within a specified period of time.
Then, in accordance with the provisions of sec-
tion 207(b) of the Clean Air Act, BMW NA war-
rants that if the car is eligible for coverage under
this warranty, any non-conformities in the car,
which cause it to fail an EPA-approved emissions
test will, without charge for parts or labor (includ-
ing diagnosis), be adjusted, repaired, or replaced,
at the option of BMW NA to proper specifica-
tions, in order to make the car comply with appli-
cable emissions standards. The decision to
adjust, repair or replace parts is solely the pre-
rogative of BMW NA and must reasonably be
expected to correct the failure of the warranted
part.
This warranty begins on the date of first retail
sale, or the date the vehicle is first placed in ser-
vice as a demonstrator or company vehicle,
whichever is earlier. This warranty continues for a
period of 2 years or 24,000 miles, whichever
occurs first, except for specific emissions control components (as listed on page 34), for which the
warranty period is 8 years or 80,000 miles which-
ever occurs first.
This warranty is made subject to the terms and
conditions that apply to the Emission Control
System Warranty and the New Vehicle Limited
Warranty.
No claim under this warranty will be denied on
the basis of use of a properly installed EPA certi-
fied emission part for maintenance and repair.
A vehicle manufacturer may deny an emission
performance warranty claim on the basis of an
uncertified replacement part used in the mainte-
nance or repair of a vehicle only if the vehicle
manufacturer presents evidence that the uncerti-
fied replacement part is either defective in mate-
rials or workmanship or not equivalent from an
emission standpoint to the original equipment
part.
Maintenance, replacement, or repair of emis-
sion control devices and systems may be per-
formed by any automotive repair
establishment or individual using any certi-
fied part.
Immediately after the car has failed an EPA
approved emission short test, your claim can be
made at any authorized BMW center. The BMW
center will honor or deny your claim within the
time period specified by local or state laws (not to
exceed 30 days), to avoid further penalties or
sanctions. lf the claim is denied, the BMW center
will notify you in writing of the reason(s). The
BMW center is required by law to honor the claim
if notice of denial is not received by the owner
within the specified time period.
You may obtain further information concerning
the emission warranties, or report violations of
warranty terms, by contacting the Director, Field
Operations and Support Division (6406J), Envi-
ronmental Protection Agency, 401 “M” Street,
SW, Washington, D.C. 20460.
The following systems are covered by the Fed-
eral Emission Performance Warranty for a period
of two years or 24,000 miles, whichever occurs
first. The specific systems may vary according to
model, therefore, all of the systems listed may
not be used on your vehicle. For assistance in
determining which systems and specific compo-

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 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 vehicle 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 vehicle fails a Smog Check inspection, 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 PERFORMANCE WAR-
RANTY.
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 emis-
sion control system DEFECTS WARRANTY.
– For 7 years or 70,000 miles whichever occursfirst:
If an emission-related part, specially noted on
page 38 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 rec-
ommends 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 perfor-
mance 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 reasonable amount of time, not
to exceed 30 days.
– As the vehicle owner, you should also be aware that BMW NA may deny your warranty cover-
age if your vehicle or part has failed due to
abuse, neglect, improper maintenance or unap-
proved modifications.
If you have any questions regarding your war-
ranty rights and responsibilities, you should

*The California Emissions Control System Lim-
ited Warranty applies to all 2006 U.S. specifica-
tion BMW vehicles sold, leased, and/or registered
in California, Maine, Massachusetts or Vermont.

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 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 center is not reasonably available or a war-
ranty 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 (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 a BMW center as a condition of
reimbursement for emergency repairs not per-
formed by a BMW 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 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 WARRAN-
TIES, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTY
OF MERCHANTABILITY, IS LIMITED TO THE
DURATION OF THE EXPRESS WARRANTIES
HEREIN. BMW OF NORTH AMERICA HEREBY
EXCLUDES INCIDENTAL AND CONSEQUEN-
TIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOSS OF TIME,
INCONVENIENCE, OR LOSS OF USE OF THE
VEHICLE, FOR ANY BREACH OF ANY
EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTY, INCLUD-
ING THE IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANT-
ABILITY, APPLICABLE TO THIS PRODUCT.
