BMW X5 3.0i SAV Información De Garantía

32

This warranty applies only to U.S. specification
SAVs distributed by BMW of North America
(BMW NA) or sold through the BMW NA Euro-
pean Delivery Program.

BMW NA warrants to the first retail purchaser,
and each subsequent purchaser, that the SAV
(a) was designed, built and equipped so as to
conform, at the time of sale, with all regulations
of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
applicable at the time of manufacture and (b) is
free from defects in materials and workmanship
which would cause it to fail to conform with
applicable regulations for a period of 2 years or
24,000 miles, whichever occurs first, except for
specific emission control components (as listed
on page 35), for which the warranty period is 8
years or 80,000 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, which-
ever is earlier.

Warranty claims must be made as soon as rea-
sonably possible after a defect is discovered.
To make a claim, the SAV must be brought to
any authorized BMW SAV center during normal
business hours.

The authorized BMW SAV center will, without
charge for parts or labor (including diagnosis),
either repair or replace the defective part, if any.
The decision whether to repair or replace said

parts is solely the prerogative of BMW NA and
must be expected to correct the failure of the
warranted part.  Parts for which replacements
are made become the property of BMW NA.  In
all cases, a reasonable time must be allowed for
warranty repairs to be completed after the SAV
is received by the authorized BMW SAV center.

For assistance in determining which specific
parts or components of your vehicle are cov-
ered under this warranty, please contact your
authorized BMW SAV center.

It is the owner’s responsibility to have all sched-
uled inspection and maintenance services per-
formed (at the owner’s expense), as prescribed
in the maintenance schedule for the BMW Emis-
sion Control System.  Service intervals are com-
puted by the onboard BMW service interval indi-
cator and displayed on the instrument panel.
The instructions for proper maintenance and use
can be found in the X5 Owner’s Manual. It is
strongly     recommended that any replacement
parts used for maintenance, repair or replace-
ment of emission control systems be certified
BMW Service Parts or BMW Authorized
Remanufactured Parts.  Without invalidating this
warranty, the owner may elect to have mainte-
nance, repair or replacement of the emission
control systems performed by any automotive
repair establishment, or elect to use parts other
than certified BMW Service Parts.  However,
the cost of such service or parts will not be cov-
ered under this warranty, except in emergency

situations. In an emergency situation, where an
authorized BMW SAV center or a warranty re-
placement part is not reasonably available (within
30 days),     repairs may be performed at any avail-
able service establishment using any equivalent
part. BMW NA     will reimburse the owner for such
emergency repairs (including labor, parts and
diagnosis not to exceed BMW NA     rates for la-
bor, parts, and diagnosis in said area) that are
covered under this warranty. Replaced parts and
paid     invoices must be presented at an autho-
rized BMW SAV center as a condition of reim-
bursement for emergency repairs not performed
by     an authorized BMW     SAV center.

The use of replacement parts, which are not of
equivalent quality, may impair the effectiveness
of the emission control system.  If other than
certified BMW Service Parts or Authorized Re-
manufactured Parts are used for maintenance,
repair or replacement of components affecting
emission control, the owner should obtain as-
surances that such 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 re-
spect to parts other than genuine BMW parts.
