Federal Emissions

Performance Warranty (Valid

only in the U.S.A. and Puerto

Rico)

In those states and jurisdictions that have

established periodic vehicle emissions tests

to encourage 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 instruc-

tions 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 federal law if the non-

conformity is not remedied within a speci-

fied period of time.

Then, in accordance with the provisions of

section 207(b) of the Clean Air Act, BMW NA

warrants 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 (including diagnosis), be

adjusted, repaired, or replaced, at the option

of BMW NA to proper specifications, in order

to make the car comply with applicable

emissions standards. The decision to adjust,

repair or replace parts is solely the preroga-

tive 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

service 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 38), for which the warranty

period is 8 years or 80,000 miles whichever

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 certified 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 maintenance or repair of a

vehicle only if the vehicle manufacturer

presents evidence that the uncertified

replacement part is either defective in

materials or workmanship or not equivalent

from an emission standpoint to the original

equipment part.

Maintenance, replacement, or repair of

emission control devices and systems

may be performed by any automotive

repair establishment or individual using

any certified 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 concern-

ing the emission warranties, or report viola-

tions of warranty terms, by contacting the

Director, Field Operations and Support

Division (6406J), Environmental Protection

Agency, 401 “M” Street, SW, Washington,

D.C. 20460.
