In those states and jurisdictions that have es-
tablished

 

periodic vehicle emissions tests to en-

courage proper vehicle

 

maintenance and re-

quire 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 (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

emissions 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 rem-
edied within a specified period of time.

Then, in accordance with the provisions of
section 207(b) of the Clean Air Act, BMW NA
warrants that if the car is eligible for coverage
under this warranty, any non-conformities in the
car, which cause it to fail an EPA-approved emis-
sions 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 deci-
sion to adjust, repair or replace parts is solely the
prerogative of BMW NA

 

and must reasonably

be expected to correct the failure of the war-
ranted 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, except for specific emissions con-
trol components (as listed on Page 36), for which
the warranty period 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
System Warranty and the New Vehicle Limited
Warranty.

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 main-
tenance or repair of a vehicle only if the vehicle
manufacturer presents evidence that the uncer-
tified replacement part is either defective in
materials or workmanship or not equivalent from
an emission standpoint to the original equip-
ment 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 exceed 30 days), to avoid further penalties or
sanctions. lf the claim is denied, the BMW cen-
ter will notify you in writing of the reason(s). The
BMW center is required by law to honor the
claim if notice of denial is not received by the
owner within the specified time period.
