Introduction (for SULEV (PZEV)
only)
Certain 2007 328i models are certified to Califor-
nia’s stringent Super Ultra Low Emission Vehicle
(SULEV) standards and also qualify as a Partial
Zero Emission Vehicle (PZEV) under the Califor-
nia Air Resources Board Zero Emission Vehicle
program. In addition to very low tailpipe and zero-
evaporative emissions, this PZEV certification
includes a unique warranty when the vehicle is
registered in California and certain Northeastern
states as indicated in the SULEV (PZEV) section
beginning on page 40. SULEV(PZEV) models
registered in Oregon and Washington are cov-
ered by the California Emission Warranty begin-
ning on page 37.
The emission certification standard can be veri-
fied on the Vehicle Emission Control Information
label located in the engine compartment. A rep-
resentative label is shown below; the SULEV
(PZEV) certification is stated on the bottom line.
The BMW Maintenance Program -
All 2007 3 Series
The BMW Maintenance Program is a benefit
designed to help reduce the cost of ownership.
2007 3 Series vehiclespurchased from any
Authorized BMW center in the United States or
Puerto Rico are covered by The BMW Mainte-
nance Program 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 com-
pany vehicle, whichever is earlier.
Any authorized BMW center in the United States
or Puerto Rico will perform the scheduled main-
tenance services on your vehicle at no expense
to you. The maintenance schedule intervals are
based on average driving conditions and opera-
tion.Should you request more frequent main-
tenance service, the cost of these services
will not be covered by the Maintenance
Program.
Coverage
The BMW Maintenance Programcovers all
factory recommended maintenance, as deter-
mined by the Condition Based Service (CBS)
system. Additional items that need replacement
due to normal wear and tear, and that are not cov-
ered by the original New Vehicle Limited War-
ranty - such as brake pads, brake rotors, and
wiper blades inserts - are included, provided
wear and tear exceeds BMW wear limits. Any
adjustments required due to normal operating
conditions are also included. See pages 5-6 of
this booklet for additional information.
Maintenance Intervals
Time intervals should be followed using the
maintenance interval as indicated by the BMW
Condition Based Service (CBS) display.
This BMW Service and Warranty Information
Booklet should be presented to your BMW cen-
ter when maintenance is required. Your BMW
center will stamp this booklet documenting the
services or maintenance performed.

tunity to provide a solution. Should you feel that
you were not provided with the proper response,
we urge you to contact the General Manager or
BMW Center Operator.
Despite the best intentions of all parties, a mis-
understanding may occur between you and your
BMW center. Should this occur and you require
further assistance, please contact the BMW NA

formed the work on your vehicle. They have the
necessary equipment and the personnel to
achieve this goal.
We are confident that every effort will be made to

Customer Assistance -
Notification
During a specific period (for example, the earlier
of 12 months or 12,000 miles, though this period
varies by state), some states require us or our
authorized BMW center, to repair in a reasonable
number of attempts, any defect or condition
which substantially impairs the use, value, or
safety of a new vehicle sold, leased or registered
in that state.
A reasonable number of attempts is generally
defined as (i) four or more attempts to repair the
same defect (the number of attempts vary by
state) or (ii) the vehicle is out of service by reason
of one or more repair(s) for more than a cumula-
tive total of 30 days (this period varies by state),
except for delays created by conditions beyond
our control.
If we are unable to correct a defect or condition
covered by these statutes in a reasonable num-
ber of attempts, we may be obligated either to
replace the vehicle or reimburse the owner/les-
see in an amount equal to the purchase price or
lease payments paid by the owner/lessee, less
the amount directly attributable to use of the
vehicle by the owner/lessee.
YOU SHOULD SEND WRITTEN NOTIFICATION
DIRECTLY TO BMW OF NORTH AMERICA OF
THE EXISTENCE OF AN ALLEGED DEFECT.

Lock-Out
Your BMW is equipped with an advanced entry
system, which cannot be bypassed by traditional
locksmith methods without significant damage to
your vehicle. BMW encourages you to always
carry your spare wallet key separately from your
other keys. However, in the event that you find
yourself locked out, a simple telephone call to
Roadside Assistance will help you get back on
the road. A representative will help you find
transportation or arrange towing service to the
nearest BMW center. Related towing costs will be
compensated up to $100 per incident. You, or
the person driving your vehicle, are responsible
for any expenses related to replacement keys.
Towing Service
In the event of a mechanical breakdown normally
covered under the New Vehicle Limited Warranty,
your vehicle will be transported (at no cost) to the
nearest authorized BMW center. Your vehicle is
also covered in the event of an accident or
collision.
If a breakdown occurs after normal business
hours, your vehicle will be transported to a secure
location and transported to the nearest autho-
rized BMW center on the next business day.
If you request that the vehicle be taken to a loca-
tion other than the nearest authorized BMW cen-
ter, any additional expense will be your
responsibility.
However, you may request (at no cost) to be
taken to a different BMW center as long as it is
within 50 additional miles of thenearestBMW
center.
Towing requests for vehicles disabled because of
casualty, fire, act of God, or violation of law (fed-
eral, state or local) are provided at the expense of
the owner/driver.
If it is necessary for you to have your vehicle
towed through your own arrangements,you
must contact BMW Roadside Assistance for
prior authorization and instructions on claim
procedures.All claims must be submitted within

accompanied by the original receipts. Claims
received after that time period may be dishon-ored and are subject to the full discretion of

tion, the maximum coverage for towing is

ranty, the services you receive under the BMW
Roadside Assistance program will not require
payment. In most cases, you will simply sign a
receipt from the provider of services.

mechanical breakdowns as follows:
– Breakdowns that are warranty related, and;
– Must occur in excess of 100 miles from the
drivers residence, and;

declared a total loss or sold for salvage pur-
poses, or if the vehicle has been used in any
competitive event.
General

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 INCI-
DENTAL AND CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES,
INCLUDING LOSS OF TIME, INCONVENIENCE,
OR LOSS OF USE OF THE VEHICLE, FOR ANY
BREACH OF ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WAR-
RANTY, 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.
Limited Warranty - Rust
Perforation 2007 Models
BMW NA warrants this original vehicle against
defects in materials or workmanship which will
result in rust perforation of the vehicle body for a
period of 12 years unlimted mileage, commenc-
ing on the date of first retail sale, or the date the
vehicle is first placed in service as a demonstra-
tor or company vehicle, whichever is earlier.
To obtain service under this warranty, the vehicle
must be brought, upon discovery of any rust per-
foration, to the workshop of any authorized BMW
center. This BMW center will, without charge for
parts or labor, either repair or replace the defec-
tive part(s). The decision to repair or replace said
part(s) is solely the prerogative of BMW of North
America. Parts for which replacements are made
become the property of BMW of North America.

cle must be inspected at least every two years.
Any areas requiring preventative maintenance
must be repaired.
The Inspection/Maintenance consists of:
a. Washing the chassis before inspection, if nec-
essary, due to dirt accumulation.
b. Repairing any damages to undercoating or
paint due to stone chips, gravel erosion,
scratches, or other external influences.

For assistance in determining which specific
parts or components of your vehicle are covered
under this warranty, please contact your BMW
center.
It is the owners responsibility to have all sched-
uled inspection and maintenance services per-
formed (at the owners 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 Owners Manual. It is strongly
recommended that any replacement parts used
for maintenance, repair or replacement of emis-
sion control systems be certified 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 certified 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 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 a BMW cen-
ter as a condition of reimbursement for emer-
gency repairs not performed by a BMW 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.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 car or any part of the car unless a failure
causes the car to fail to conform to applicable
emission regulations.
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 read, or if the car 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.
