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
authorized MINI dealer.
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 MINI Emission Control System.
Service intervals are computed by the Condition
Based Service system and displayed on the
instrument panel.
However, MINI USA will not deny your warranty
repair claims solely because you do not have
maintenance records or you did not perform the
required maintenance unless MINI USA
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 Owner’s Manual and in the Service section of
this Statement.
It is strongly recommended that any replacement
parts used for maintenance, repair or
replacement of emission control systems be
genuine MINI Service Parts or MINI Authorized
Remanufactured Parts. Without invalidating this
warranty, the owner may elect to have
maintenance, repair or replacement of the
emission control systems performed by any
automotive repair establishment, or elect to use
parts other than MINI Authorized
Remanufactured or genuine MINI Service Parts.
However, the cost of such service or parts will not
be covered under this warranty, except in
emergency situations. In an emergency situation,
where an authorized MINI dealer is not
reasonably available or a warranty replacement
part is not available within 30 days, repairs may
be performed at any available service
establishment or by any individual using any
replacement part.
A repair not completed within 30 days
constitutes an emergency. MINI USA, a Division
of BMW of North America, LLC will reimburse the
owner for such emergency repairs (including
labor, parts and diagnosis not to exceed MINI
suggested retail price for all warranted parts
replaced and labor charges based on the
manufacturer’s recommended time allowance for
the warranty repair and the geographically
appropriate hourly labor rate) that are covered
under this warranty. Replaced parts and paid
invoices must be presented to an authorized
MINI dealer as a condition of reimbursement for
emergency repairs not performed by an
authorized MINI dealer.
The use of replacement parts, which are not of
equivalent quality, may impair the effectiveness
of emission control systems. If other than
genuine MINI Service Parts or Authorized
Remanufactured Parts are used for maintenance,
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 genuine MINI
parts in performance and durability. MINI USA, a
Division of BMW of North America, LLC assumes
no liability under this warranty with respect to
parts other than genuine MINI parts.
However, the use of non-genuine MINI
replacement parts does not invalidate the
warranty on other components, unless
non-genuine MINI parts cause damage to
warranted parts.
