California Emission Control
System Limited Warranty*

This warranty applies to California certified
vehicles distributed by BMW of North
America (BMW NA) or sold through the BMW
NA European Delivery Program, registered
and operated primarily in California.

BMW NA warrants to the original purchaser
and each subsequent owner that the vehicle
is:

(a) designed, built and equipped so as to

conform with the applicable California Air
Resources Board emission standards.

(b) free from defects in materials and

workmanship which cause any part that
can affect emissions to fail to conform
with applicable requirements or to fail a
California Smog Check test or EPA
approved short test for a period of 3
years or 50,000 miles, whichever occurs
first.

workmanship in emission related parts,
which are contained in the California
Emission Warranty Parts List on page 40,
for a period of 7 years or 70,000 miles,
whichever occurs first.

This warranty 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.

To obtain service under this warranty, the
vehicle must be brought, upon failure of a
Smog Check test or upon discovery of the
defect, to the workshop of any authorized
BMW center, during normal business hours.
The BMW center will honor or deny your
claim within 30 days. If the claim is denied,
the BMW center will notify you in writing of
the reason(s). The BMW center is required
by law to honor the claim if notice is not given
to the owner within 30 days.

The BMW center will, without charge for parts
or labor (including diagnosis), either adjust,
repair or replace the defective part and other
parts affected by the failure of the warranted
part, if any. If your vehicle failed the California
Smog Check test or an EPA approved short

test, then BMW NA will repair your vehicle so
that it will pass this test. Items that require
scheduled replacement are warranted up to
the replacement interval specified in the
Service section of this Statement. BMW NA
may repair a part in lieu of replacing it when
performing warranty repairs. Parts for which
replacements are made become the property
of BMW NA. After 3 years or 50,000 miles,
and in accordance with paragraph (c) above,
such repairs are limited to the repair or
replacement of those parts identified in the
California Emissions Warranty List.

If your California registered vehicle is
between 7 and 8 years old and has been
driven less than 80,000 miles, then your
vehicle is eligible for additional warranty
coverage under the Federal Emissions
Warranty.

A repair performed as the result of a smog
check test failure due to a defect in a part,
which is warranted for 7 years/70,000 miles,
is covered.

In all cases, a reasonable time, not to exceed
30 days, must be allowed for a warranty
repair to be completed, after the car is
received by the BMW center.

It is the owner’s responsibility to have all
required maintenance services performed (at
the owner’s expense), as prescribed in the
maintenance schedule for the BMW Emission
Control System. Service intervals are
computed by the service interval indicator
and displayed on the instrument panel.

However, BMW NA will not deny your
warranty repair claims solely because you do
not have maintenance records or you did not
perform the required maintenance unless
BMW NA demonstrates that such lack of
required maintenance is a direct cause of the
emission control system failure. The instruc-
tions for required maintenance and use can
be found in the Owner’s Manual and in the
Service section of this Statement.

*The California Emissions Control System
Limited Warranty applies to all 2004 U.S.
specification BMW vehicles sold, leased,
and/or registered in California,
Massachusetts, Vermont or Maine.
