In those states and jurisdictions that have estab-
lished periodic vehicle emissions tests to encour-
age proper vehicle maintenance and require the
car to pass an emissions test approved by the
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and:
1. The car was distributed by BMW of North
America, Inc., (BMW NA), or sold through the
BMW NA European Delivery Program; and
2. The car has been maintained and operated in
accordance with the instructions for proper
maintenance and use set forth in the Owner’s
Manual supplied with the car; and
3. The car fails to conform to the applicable emis-
sions standards of the EPA as judged by an
EPA approved emissions test; and
4. The failure to conform results or will result in
the owner of the car having to bear a penalty
or other sanction (including the denial of the
right to use the car) under local state or fed-
eral law if the non-conformity is not remedied
within a specified period of time.
Then BMW NA warrants that if the car is eligible
for coverage under this warranty, any non-confor-
mities in the car, which cause it to fail an EPA-
approved emissions test, will, without charge for
parts or labor (including diagnosis), be adjusted,
repaired, or replaced, at the option of BMW NA to
proper specifications, in order to make the car
comply with applicable emissions standards. The
decision to adjust, repair or replace parts is solely
the prerogative of BMW NA and must reasonably
be expected to correct the failure of the warranted
part.
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. This warranty continues for a period of 2
years or 24,000 miles, whichever occurs first, ex-
cept for specific emissions control components
(as listed on Page 36), for which the warranty pe-
riod is 8 years or 80,000 miles whichever occurs
first.
This warranty is made subject to the terms and
conditions that apply to the Emission Control Sys-
tem Warranty and the New Vehicle Limited War-
ranty.
No claim under this warranty will be denied on the
basis of use of a properly installed EPA certified
emission part for maintenance and repair.
A vehicle manufacturer may deny an emission
performance warranty claim on the basis of an
uncertified replacement part used in the mainte-
nance or repair of a vehicle only if the vehicle
manufacturer presents evidence that the
uncertified replacement part is either defective in
materials or workmanship or not equivalent from
an emission standpoint to the original equipment
part.
Maintenance, replacement, or repair of emis-
sion control devices and systems may be
performed by any automotive repair estab-
lishment or individual using any certified
part.
Immediately after the car has failed an EPA ap-
proved emission short test, your claim can be
made at any authorized BMW center. The BMW
center will honor or deny your claim within the time
period specified by local or state laws (not to ex-
ceed 30 days), to avoid further penalties or sanc-
tions. lf 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 no-
tice of denial is not received by the owner within
the specified time period.
You may obtain further information concerning the
emission warranties, or report violations of war-
ranty terms, by contacting the Director, Field Op-
eration and Support Division (EN-397F), Environ-
mental Protection Agency, 401 “M” Street, S.W.,
