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 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-
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 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, disconnection,
improper or inadequate 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 sal-
vage purposes.
