BMW 330i Sedan Informação Da Garantia

39

It is strongly recommended that any replace-
ment parts used for maintenance, repair or re-
placement of emission control systems be genu-
ine BMW Service Parts or BMW Authorized Re-
manufactured 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 BMW Authorized Remanufactured or
genuine BMW Service Parts.  However, the cost
of such service or parts will not be covered un-
der this warranty, except in emergency situa-
tions. In an emergency situation, where an au-
thorized BMW center is not reasonably avail-
able or a warranty replacement part is not avail-
able within 30 days, repairs may be performed
at any available service establishment or by any
individual using any replacement part.

A repair not completed within 30 days constitutes
an emergency.  BMW NA will reimburse the owner
for such emergency repairs (including labor, parts
and diagnosis not to exceed BMW suggested
retail price for all warranted parts replaced and
labor charges based on the manufacturer’s rec-
ommended time allowance for the warranty re-
pair and the geographically appropriate hourly la-
bor rate) that are covered under this warranty.
Replaced parts and paid invoices must be pre-
sented to a BMW  center as a condition of

reimbursement for emergency repairs not per-
formed by a BMW center.

The use of replacement parts, which are not of
equivalent quality, may impair the effectiveness of
emission control systems. If other than genuine
BMW Service Parts or Authorized Remanu-
factured Parts are used for maintenance, repair
or replacement of components affecting emission
control, the owner should obtain assurances that
such parts are warranted by their manufacturer
to be equivalent to genuine BMW parts in perfor-
mance and durability. BMW NA assumes no li-
ability under this warranty with respect to parts
other than genuine BMW parts.

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

This warranty does not cover malfunctions caused
by any of the following: accident, flood, misuse,
modification, alteration, tampering, disconnection,
improper or inadequate maintenance, except if
performed by an authorized BMW center doing
warranty repair work, use of leaded fuel or fuel
other than as specified in the Owner’s Manual.

The replacement of maintenance parts, such as
spark plugs, filters and similar items used in     re-
quired maintenance services or the repair or     re-
placement of maintenance parts beyond the first
replacement interval.

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

The car, if the vehicle identification number is al-
tered or cannot be determined, or if the car has
been declared a total loss or sold for salvage pur-
poses.

The warranty gives you specific legal rights, and
you may also have other rights which vary from
state to state.
