weight BMW X5 2008 E70 Service and warranty information

It is the owner’s responsibility to have all sched-
uled inspection and maintenance services per-
formed (at the owner’s expense), as prescribed
in the maintenance schedule for the BMW Emis-
sion Control System. Service intervals are com-
puted by the onboard BMW service interval
indicator and displayed on the instrument panel.
The instructions for proper maintenance and
use can be found in the X5 Owner’s Manual. It is
strongly recommended that any replacement
parts used for maintenance, repair or replace-
ment of emission control systems be certified
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 certified BMW Service Parts. However, the
cost of such service or parts will not be covered
under this warranty, except in emergency situa-
tions. In an emergency situation, where an
authorized BMW SAV center or a warranty
replacement part is not reasonably available
(within 30 days), repairs may be performed at
any available service establishment using any
equivalent part. BMW NA will reimburse the
owner for such emergency repairs (including
labor, parts and diagnosis not to exceed
BMW NA rates for labor, parts, and diagnosis in
said area) that are covered under this warranty.
Replaced parts and paid invoices must be pre-
sented at an authorized BMW SAV center as a
condition of reimbursement for emergency
repairs not performed by an authorized BMW
SAV center.
The use of replacement parts, which are not of
equivalent quality, may impair the effectiveness
of the emission control system. If other than cer-
tified BMW Service Parts or Authorized
Remanufactured Parts are used for mainte-
nance, 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 genu-
ine BMW parts in performance and durability.
BMW NA assumes no liability under this war-
ranty with respect to parts other than genuine
BMW parts. However, the use of non-genuine BMW replace-
ment parts or non-EPA certified parts does not
invalidate the warranty on other components,
unless non-genuine BMW parts or non-EPA cer-
tified 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, modification,

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 the
first required inspection/maintenance, or if the
part has been replaced earlier for reasons other
than it being defective.
The SAV or any part of the SAV unless a failure
causes the SAV to fail to conform to applicable
emission regulations.
Any SAV on which the odometer has been
replaced or altered and the true mileage cannot
be determined.

altered or cannot be read, or if the SAV has

purposes.
