BMW center is not reasonably available or a war-
ranty 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 (including
labor, parts and diagnosis not to exceed BMW
suggested retail price for all warranted parts
replaced and labor charges based on the manu-
facturers 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 a BMW center as a condition of
reimbursement for emergency repairs not per-
formed by a BMW 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 assurances
that 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 does not invalidate the warranty on other
components, unless non-BMW parts cause
damage to warranted parts.
