EXCLUDES INCIDENTAL AND CONSEQUEN-
TIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOSS OF TIME,
INCONVENIENCE, OR LOSS OF USE OF THE
SAV, FOR ANY BREACH OF ANY EXPRESS OR
IMPLIED WARRANTY, INCLUDING THE
IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY,
APPLICABLE TO THIS PRODUCT.
Some states do not allow limitations on how long
an implied warranty lasts, or the exclusion or lim-
itation of incidental or consequential damages,
so the above limitations and exclusions may not
apply to you.
This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and
you may also have other rights which vary from
state to state. Any legal claim or action arising
from any express or implied warranty contained
herein must be brought within 12 months of the
date it arises.
This warranty does not apply to the following:
a. Damage caused by negligence, improper
accident damage repairs, or improper use.
b. Damage attributable to failure to perform
required inspections/maintenance at the
specified intervals or in accordance with the
BMW rust inspection/maintenance program
instructions. Proof must be provided by a paid
invoice or filling in the appropriate boxes in the
Service Section of this Statement.
BMW will not accept any liability for any parts
and accessories not approved by BMW.
This warranty shall be null and void if the SAV
identification number has been altered or
cannot be read, if the odometer has been
replaced or altered and the true mileage can-
not be determined, if the SAV has been
declared a total loss or sold for salvage pur-
poses, or if the SAV has been used in any
competitive event.
Federal Emissions System Defect
Warranty (Valid only in the U.S.A.
and Puerto Rico)
This warranty applies only to U.S. specification
SAVs distributed by BMW of North America
(BMW NA) or sold through the BMW NA Euro-
pean Delivery Program.
In accordance with the defect warranty provi-
sions of section 207(b) of the Clean Air Act,
BMW NA warrants to the first retail purchaser,
and each subsequent purchaser, that the SAV (a)
was designed, built and equipped so as to con-
form, at the time of sale, with all regulations of
the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency appli-
cable at the time of manufacture and (b) is free
from defects in materials and workmanship
which would cause it to fail to conform with appli-
cable regulations for a period of 2 years or
24,000 miles, whichever occurs first, except for
specific emission control components (as listed
on page 35), for which the warranty period is 8
years or 80,000 miles, whichever occurs first.
This warranty begins on the date of first retail
sale, or the date the SAV is first placed in service
as a demonstrator or company vehicle, whichever
is earlier.
Warranty claims must be made as soon as rea-
sonably possible after a defect is discovered. To
make a claim, the SAV must be brought to any
authorized BMW SAV center during normal busi-
ness hours.
The authorized BMW SAV center will, without
charge for parts or labor (including diagnosis),
either repair or replace the defective part, if any.
The decision whether to repair or replace said
parts is solely the prerogative of BMW NA and
must be expected to correct the failure of the
warranted part. Parts for which replacements are
made become the property of BMW NA. In all
cases, a reasonable time must be allowed for
warranty repairs to be completed after the SAV is
received by the authorized BMW SAV center.
For assistance in determining which specific
parts or components of your vehicle are covered
under this warranty, please contact your autho-
rized BMW SAV center.
