This warranty applies to California certified
SAVs 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 SAV 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 workman-
ship 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, which-
ever occurs first.
(c) free from defects in materials and workman-
ship in emission related parts, which are
contained in the California Emission
Warranty Parts List on page 38, 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 SAV is first placed in
service as a demonstrator or company vehicle,
whichever is earlier.
To obtain service under this warranty, the SAV
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.
California Emission Control
System Limited Warranty*
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 SAV failed the
California Smog Check test or an EPA
approved short test, then BMW NA will repair
your SAV 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 SAV is between 7
and 8 years old and has been driven less than
80,000 miles, then your SAV 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 SAV 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 com-
puted by the service interval indicator and
displayed on the instrument panel.
* The California Emissions Control System
Limited Warranty applies to all 2005 U.S.
specification BMW SAVs sold, leased, and/or
registered in California, Maine, Massachusetts
or Vermont.
