chaser, and each subsequent purchaser.
Warranty Period

Warranty Begins
Coverage begins on the date of first retail sale
or the date the vehicle is first placed into service
as a sales demonstrator, service loaner (SLP) or

Warranty Coverage
To obtain service under this limited warranty, the
SAV must be brought, upon discovery of a
defect in material or workmanship, to the work-
shop of any authorized BMW SAV center in the
United States or Puerto Rico, during normal
business hours. The authorized BMW SAV cen-
ter will, without charge for parts or labor, either
repair or replace the defective part(s) using new
or authorized remanufactured parts. The deci-
sion to repair or replace said part(s) is solely the
prerogative of BMW NA. 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.
Safety Belt Warranty - Kansas
Safety belts are covered under the BMW New
SAV Limited Warranty for defects in material or
workmanship for a period of 10 years, unlimited
mileage from the date of purchase. In order to
be eligible for this coverage, the SAV must be a
new SAV retailed in the State of Kansas and the
repair performed by an authorized BMW SAV
center in Kansas.

Wheel alignment, balancing and wiper blade
inserts are covered up to 2,000 miles.
Items which are subject to wear and tear or
deterioration due to driving habits or condi-
tions, such as brake pads/linings, brake discs,
clutch disc, pressure plate, filters, upholstery,
trim and chrome items, paint finish, drive
belts, glass, and similar items, are specifically
limited to defects in material or workmanship.
This warranty does not apply to the
following:
Damage which results from negligence,
improper operation of the SAV, improper repair,
lack of or improper maintenance, environmental
influences, flood, accident or fire damage, road
salt corrosion, or use of improper or contami-
nated fuel.

performance accessories or components
attached to the SAV which alters the original
engineering and/or operating specifications or

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
equivalent 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 pre-
sented at an authorized BMW SAV center as a
condition of reimbursement 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
Remanufactured Parts are used for mainte-
nance, repair or replacement of components
affecting emission control, the owner should
obtain assurances that such parts are warranted
by their manufacturer to be equivalent to genu-
ine BMW parts in performance and durability.
BMW NA assumes no liability under this war-
ranty with respect to parts other than genuine
BMW parts. However, the use of non-genuine BMW replace-
ment parts or non-EPA certified parts does not
invalidate the warranty on other components,
unless non-genuine BMW parts or non-EPA cer-
tified 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,
alteration, 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 SAV or any part of the SAV unless a failure
causes the SAV to fail to conform to applicable
emission regulations.
Any SAV on which the odometer has been
replaced or altered and the true mileage cannot
be determined.
The SAV, if the vehicle identification number is
altered or cannot be read, or if the SAV has
been declared a total loss or sold for salvage
purposes.

It is strongly recommended that any replace-
ment parts used for maintenance, repair or
replacement 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 SAV center is not reasonably available or a
warranty replacement part is not available within
30 days, repairs may be performed at any avail-
able 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 an authorized BMW SAV center
as a condition of reimbursement 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 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 assur-
ances that such parts are warranted by their
manufacturer 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-genuine BMW replace-
ment parts does not invalidate the warranty on
other components, unless non-genuine 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 SAV 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 SAV on which the odometer has been
replaced or altered and the true mileage cannot
be determined.
The SAV, if the SAV identification number is altered
or cannot be determined, or if the SAV has been
declared a total loss or sold for salvage purposes.
