California Emission Control
System Limited Warranty*
This warranty applies to California certified
vehicles distributed by BMW of North America,
LLC (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.
c. free from defects in materials and
workmanship in emission related parts, which
are contained in the California Emission
Warranty Parts List on page 34, for a period of
7 years or 70,000 miles (8 years or
100,000 miles for certain models), whichever
occurs first.
Coverage begins on the date of first retail sale or
the date the vehicle is first placed into service as
a sales demonstrator, Aftersales Mobility
Program (AMP) Vehicle 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 SAV center,
during normal business hours. The authorized
BMW SAV center will honor or deny your claim
within 30 days. If the claim is denied, the
authorized BMW SAV center will notify you in
writing of the reason(s). The authorized BMW
SAV center is required by law to honor the claim if
notice is not given to the owner within 30 days.
The authorized BMW SAV 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 (8 years or
100,000 miles for certain models), 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 vehicle is received by the
authorized BMW SAV 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 instructions for
required maintenance and use can be found in
the X6 Owner’s Manual and in the Service
section of this Statement.
*The California Emissions Control System Limited
Warranty applies to all 2010 U.S. specification
BMW SAV vehicles sold, leased, and/or registered
in California, Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts,
New Jersey, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island,
Vermont or Washington.
