Customer Assistance -
Notification
During a specific period (the earlier of 12 months
or 12,000 miles, though this period varies by
state), some states require us or our authorized
BMW SAV center, to repair in a reasonable num-
ber of attempts, any defect or condition which
substantially impairs the use, value, or safety of a
new SAV 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 SAV is out of service by reason of
one or more repair(s) for more than a cumulative
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 SAV or reimburse the owner/lessee 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 SAV by
the owner/lessee.

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 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 X5
BMW NA warrants this original SAV against
defects in materials or workmanship which will
result in rust perforation of the SAV body for a
period of twelve years unlimited mileage, com-
mencing on the date of first retail sale, or the date
the vehicle is first placed in service as a demon-
strator or company vehicle, whichever is earlier.
To obtain service under this warranty, the SAV
must be brought, upon discovery of any rust per-
foration, to the workshop of any authorized BMW
SAV center. This authorized BMW SAV center
will, without charge for parts or labor, either repair
or replace the defective part(s). The decision to
repair or replace said part(s) is solely the prerog-
ative of BMW of North America. Parts for which
replacements are made become the property of
BMW of North America.
REQUIRED MAINTENANCE:
In order to keep this warranty in effect, the SAV
must be inspected at every BMW Inspection II (at
least every two years). Any areas requiring pre-
ventative 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.
BMW of North America makes no other express
warranty on this product except the New SAV
Limited Warranty or the warranty as to the emis-
sion control system. THE DURATION OF ANY
IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING THE
IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY,

EXPRESS WARRANTIES HEREIN.
31
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 X5 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 assurancesthat 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

part has been replaced earlier for reasons other
than it being defective.

causes the SAV to fail to conform to applicable
emission regulations.

replaced or altered and the true mileage cannot
be determined.

altered or cannot be read, or if the SAV has been
declared a total loss or sold for salvage purposes.

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

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

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
Warranty.
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.

maintenance services performed (at the owner’s
