minimize exhaust pollution. The replacement
of the oxygen sensor is required under the
terms of the applicable BMW emission sys-
tem warranties.

For your convenience, you may also wish to have
your authorized BMW SAV center perform any
necessary operations to fulfill any state inspec-
tion requirements in your area concurrent with
the maintenance elements specified above
during other repairs.

Make sure that confirmation of maintenance work
is always entered in this SAV Service and War-
ranty Information Statement. You may need this
for any warranty claims that become necessary,
and later on as evidence that your SAV has been
given the correct and regular maintenance that
justifies its resale or trade-in value.

cal advances not only to the design and produc-
tion of your SAV, but also to computing of the

ment in unique BMW special service tools to

cians to perform quality repairs on your BMW in
