BMW Maintenance Program –
2004 525i, 530i, 545i
Maintenance Programs are a benefit
designed to help reduce the cost of owner-
ship.
2004 5 Series model 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
demonstrator 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.

mended maintenance, as determined by the
Service Interval Indicator System. Additional
items that need replacement due to normal

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 statement for additional information.

Limited Warranty –
Rust Perforation 2004 Models
BMW NA warrants this original vehicle
against defects in materials or workmanship
which will result in rust perforation of the
vehicle body for a period of 6 years, without
mileage limitation, commencing 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.
To obtain service under this warranty, the
vehicle must be brought, upon discovery of
any rust perforation, to the workshop of any
authorized BMW center. This BMW center
will, without charge for parts or labor, either
repair or replace the defective part(s). The
decision to repair or replace said part(s) is
solely the prerogative of BMW of North
America. Parts for which replacements are
made become the property of BMW of North
America.

vehicle must be inspected at least every two
years. Any areas requiring preventative
maintenance must be repaired. (THIS
INSPECTION/MAINTENANCE IS AT THE
OWNER’S EXPENSE).
The Inspection/Maintenance consists of:
a. Washing the chassis before inspection, if
necessary, due to dirt accumulation.
b. Repairing any damages to undercoating or
paint due to stone chips, gravel erosion,
scratches, or other external influences.

has been replaced or altered and the true
mileage cannot be determined, if the
vehicle has been declared a total loss or
sold for salvage purposes, or if the vehicle
has been used in any competitive event.

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

INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTY OF

Some states do not allow limitations on how
long an implied warranty lasts, or the exclu-
sion or limitation of incidental or consequen-
tial damages, so the above limitations and
exclusions may not apply to you. Additionally,

or Vermont resident and your vehicle is regis-
tered in that state, your vehicle is eligible for
California Emissions Warranty coverage.
These federal warranty provisions also apply

tories regardless of whether a state has
enacted state warranty provisions that differ
from the federal provisions.

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.
