California Emission Control
Warranty Statement*
Your Warranty Rights and
Obligations
The California Air Resources Board and BMW of
North America, LLC (BMW NA) are pleased to
explain the emission control system warranty on
your 2008 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 provided 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
WARRANTY.
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 emission control system DEFECTS
WARRANTY.
For 7 years or 70,000 miles whichever occurs
first:
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 SAV 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 SAV, but BMW NA can-
not 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 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.
– As the SAV owner, you should also be aware that BMW NA may deny your warranty cover-
age if your SAV or part has failed due to abuse,
neglect, improper maintenance or unapproved
modifications.

ranty rights and responsibilities, you should
