BMW Z8 Roadster Informação Da Garantia

33

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

In accordance with the defect warranty provi-
sions of section 207(b) of the Clean Air Act,
BMW NA warrants to the first retail purchaser,
and each subsequent purchaser, that the car
(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 36), 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 vehicle is first placed in
service as a demonstrator or company vehicle,
whichever is earlier.

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

The BMW 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 pre-
rogative 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 car is received by the BMW
center.

For assistance in determining which specific
parts or components of your vehicle are cov-
ered under this warranty, please contact your
BMW 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 Owner’s Manual. It is strongly
recommended that any replacement parts used
for maintenance, repair or replacement of emis-
sion control systems be certified BMW Service
Parts or BMW Authorized Remanufactured
Parts.  Without invalidating this warranty, the
owner may elect to have maintenance, repair or
replacement of the emission control systems
performed by any automotive repair establish-
ment, or elect to use parts other than certified
BMW Service Parts.  However, the cost of such

service or parts will not be covered under this
warranty, except in emergency situations. In an
emergency situation, where an authorized BMW
center or a warranty replacement part is not
reasonably available (within 30 days),     repairs may
be performed at any available service establish-
ment using any equivalent part. BMW NA     will
reimburse the owner for such emergency re-
pairs (including labor, parts and diagnosis not to
exceed BMW NA     rates for labor, parts, and di-
agnosis in said area) that are covered under this
warranty. Replaced parts and paid     invoices must
be presented at 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 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.
