BMW M3 Convertible Garantieinformation

31

parts are warranted by their manufacturer to
be equivalent to genuine BMW parts in
performance and durability.  BMW NA
assumes no liability under this warranty with
respect to parts other than genuine BMW
parts.

However, the use of non-BMW replacement
parts or non-EPA certified parts does not
invalidate the warranty on other compo-
nents, unless non-BMW parts or non-EPA
certified parts cause damage to warranted
parts.

This warranty does not cover malfunctions
caused by any of the following: accident,
flood, misuse, improper adjustment, modifi-
cation, alteration, tampering, disconnection,
improper or inadequate maintenance, use of
leaded fuel or fuels containing more than
10% ethanol, or other oxygenates with more
than 2.8% oxygen by weight (i.e., more than
15% MTBE or more than 3% methanol plus
an equivalent amount of co-solvent).

The replacement of maintenance parts, such
as spark plugs, filters and similar items used
in required maintenance services, the repair
or replacement of maintenance parts
beyond the first required inspection/mainte-
nance, or if the part has been replaced
earlier for reasons other than it being
defective.

The car or any part of the car unless a failure
causes the car to fail to conform to appli-
cable emission regulations.

Any car on which the odometer has been
replaced or altered and the  true mileage
cannot be determined.

The car, if the vehicle identification number
is altered or cannot be read, or if the car has
been declared a total loss or sold for
salvage purposes.

These warranties give you specific legal
rights, and you may also have other rights
which vary from state to state.

THE DURATION OF ANY IMPLIED WAR-
RANTIES, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED
WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, IS
LIMITED TO THE DURATION OF THE
EXPRESS WARRANTIES HEREIN.

BMW NA HEREBY EXCLUDES INCIDEN-
TAL AND CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES,
INCLUDING LOSS OF TIME, INCONVE-
NIENCE, OR LOSS OF USE OF THE
VEHICLE, FOR ANY BREACH OF ANY
EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTY,
INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTY OF
MERCHANTABILITY, APPLICABLE TO THIS
PRODUCT.

Some states do not allow limitations on how
long an implied warranty lasts, or the
exclusion or limitation of incidental or
consequential damages, so the above
limitations and exclusions may not apply to
you.  Additionally, if you are a California,
Massachusetts, Vermont or Maine resident
and your vehicle is registered in that state,
your vehicle is eligible for California
Emissions Warranty coverage.

These federal warranty provisions also
apply to all vehicles sold in all U.S. states
and territories regardless of whether a state
has enacted state warranty provisions that
differ from the federal provisions.
