BMW Full Maintenance Program
– 2006 325i, 330i
Full Maintenance Programs are a benefit
designed to help reduce the cost of owner-
ship.
2006 3 Series vehiclespurchased from any
Authorized BMW center in the United States
or Puerto Rico are covered by Full
Maintenance 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 demon-
strator or company vehicle, whichever is
earlier.
Any authorized BMW center in the United
States or Puerto Rico will perform the sched-
uled maintenance services on your vehicle at
no expense to you. The maintenance sched-
ule intervals are based on average driving
conditions and operation.
Should you
request more frequent maintenance
service, the cost of these services will not
be covered by the Maintenance Program.
Coverage
Full Maintenancecovers all factory recom-
mended maintenance, as determined by the
Condition Based Service System. Additional
items that need replacement due to normal
wear and tear, and that are not covered by
the original New Vehicle Limited Warranty -
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 6-7
of this booklet for additional information.

7. California Civil Code Section 1793.2(d)
requires that, if BMW or its representative is
unable to repair a new motor vehicle to
conform to the vehicle’s applicable express
warranty after a reasonable number of
attempts, BMW may be required to replace or
repurchase the vehicle. California Civil Code

that BMW has had a reasonable number of
attempts to conform the vehicle to its applica-
ble express warranties if, within 18 months
from delivery to the buyer or 18,000 miles on
the vehicle’s odometer, whichever occurs first,
one or more of the following occurs:

This warranty shall be null and void if the

sold for salvage purposes, or if the vehicle
has been used in any competitive event.

placed in service as a demonstrator or

However, the use of non-BMW replacement
parts or non-EPA certified parts does not
invalidate 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, modifica-
tion, 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

27578 3 Series Text for#72A.qxd 1/31/05 10:30 AM Page 36

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 maintenance, 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 genuine 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 is not reasonably available or a
warranty replacement part is not available
within 30 days, repairs may be performed at
any available 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 (includ-
ing labor, parts and diagnosis not to exceed
BMW suggested retail price for all warranted
parts replaced and labor charges based on
the manufacturer’s recommended time
allowance for the warranty repair and the
geographically appropriate hourly labor rate)
that are covered under this warranty.
Replaced parts and paid invoices must be
presented to a BMW center as a condition of
reimbursement for emergency repairs not
performed by a BMW center.
The use of replacement parts, which are not
of equivalent quality, may impair the effective-
ness of emission control systems. If other
than genuine BMW Service Parts or
Authorized Remanufactured Parts are used
for maintenance, 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 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 does not invalidate the warranty on
other components, unless non-BMW partscause 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, disconnection, improper or inade-
quate maintenance, except if performed by an
authorized BMW 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 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 determined, or if the car
has been declared a total loss or sold for
salvage purposes.
General
The warranty gives you specific legal rights,
and you may also have other rights which
vary from state to state.

WARRANTIES, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED
WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, IS
LIMITED TO THE DURATION OF THE
EXPRESS WARRANTIES HEREIN. BMW
OF NORTH AMERICA HEREBY EXCLUDES
INCIDENTAL AND CONSEQUENTIAL
DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOSS OF TIME,
INCONVENIENCE, OR LOSS OF USE OF
