The authorized BMW center will, without chargefor parts or labor (including diagnosis), eitheradjust, repair or replace the defective part andother parts affected by the failure of thewarranted part, if any. If your vehicle failed theCalifornia Smog Check test or an EPA-approvedshort test, then BMWNA will repair your vehicleso that it will pass this test. Items that requirescheduled replacement are warranted prior totheir first replacement interval. BMWNAmayrepair a part in lieu of replacing it whenperforming warranty repairs. Parts for whichreplacements are made become the property ofBMWNA. After 3 years or 50,000 miles, and inaccordance with paragraph (c) above, suchrepairs are limited to the repair or replacement ofthose parts identified in the California EmissionsWarranty List.

The instructions forrequired maintenance and use can be found inthe Owner’s Manual and in the BMWMaintenance booklet.

It is strongly recommended that any replacementparts used for maintenance, repair orreplacement of emission control systems begenuine BMWService Parts or BMWAuthorizedRemanufactured Parts. Without invalidating this

In an emergency situation,where an authorized BMW center is notreasonably available or a warranty replacementpart is not available within 30 days, repairs maybe performed at any available serviceestablishment or by any individual using anyreplacement part.

A repair not completed within 30 daysconstitutes an emergency. BMWNA willreimburse the owner for such emergency repairs(including labor, parts and diagnosis not toexceed BMW suggested retail price for allwarranted parts replaced and labor chargesbased on the manufacturer’s recommended timeallowance for the warranty repair and thegeographically appropriate hourly labor rate) thatare covered under this warranty.

TireWarrantyStatement

Original equipment tires on new BMW vehiclesare warranted by their respective manufactureras detailed in the applicable tire manufacturer’swarranty statement.

The CD ROM BMW provides in the vehicle’sdocuments portfolio contains the warrantystatements for the following original equipmenttire manufacturers (as applicable to your vehicle):

� Bridgestone/Firestone� Continental� Goodyear/Dunlop� Hankook� Michelin� Pirelli

The terms and conditions of the tiremanufacturers’ warranties are independentlydetermined by the tire manufacturers withoutinput from BMW.We recommend eithercontacting or visiting the specific tiremanufacturer’s website to ensure that you havethe most current tire warranty information thatapplies to your tires.

Should you have difficulty in obtaining theapplicable warranty service from a tiremanufacturer, your authorized BMW center willassist you in resolving the situation.

Instructions for proper tire care and maintenanceare contained in the Wheels and Tires section ofyour vehicle’s Owner’s Manual.

12Volt BatteryCare

Battery posts, terminals and relatedaccessories contain lead and lead

compounds; chemicals know to the State ofCalifornia to cause cancer.

If your vehicle is driven only for short distances ofless than 10 miles over a prolonged period oftime, without an occasional drive at highwayspeeds, the engine’s charging system will notmaintain the battery. Insufficient use of thevehicle could result in short-term startingproblems and, in the long term, could damagethe battery.

In case your vehicle will not be operated forseveral weeks, it is advisable to:� consider using a proper trickle charger,

following the charger manufacturer’sinstructions, to maintain the battery’s state ofcharge; or

� consult your authorized BMW center oranother qualified service center regardingbattery removal. Once removed, the batterymust be charged and stored in a cool, dryplace where it can be protected from freezing.If the battery will be stored for over 3 months, itmust be recharged every 3 months, or else itwill become damaged and useless.

Please consult with your authorized BMW centeror another qualified service center for furtherguidance and information.

Corrosion Protection

Extensive corrosion protection measuresimplemented by BMW nowmake it possible tooffer a 12-year unlimited mileage anti-corrosionwarranty against rust perforation on your vehicleprovided that the vehicle is properly maintained.Information on proper maintenance is available inthis Booklet and your vehicle’s Owner’s Manual.

The major degree of corrosion protection is dueto the electrophoretic dip painting process whichcathodically deposits paint particles on all bodyparts, attracting paint particles into the minutestcavities or seams. Body parts are designed toprovide optimum corrosion protection.

During manufacture, metal exterior body partsreceive an additional corrosion protection coat.Hood, trunk, doors and other body parts arecoated with PVC and sealed from the outside.

All floor panels receive a resilient coating of PVCfor maximum protection against damage due tostones, etc.

Corrosion protection materials tested over manyyears are applied to the surfaces of cavities andto the entire underside of the vehicle during andafter assembly.

For additional information on the 12-yearunlimited mileage anti-corrosion warranty, seethe section of this Booklet on page 4.

16

Restoring corrosion protection

Please take care that anti-corrosion material isreplaced when your car is repaired after body orchassis damage.

Underbodymaintenance

The underbody has to be cleaned at least once ayear, in Spring, with plain water in order toremove mud, chemical sediments and otherdeposits. If those materials are not removed,corrosion (rust) will occur on metal components.

Your authorized BMW center can do thisanti-corrosion service for you.

Do not apply additional undercoating orrust-proofing on or near the exhaust

manifold, exhaust pipes, catalytic converter or heatshields. During driving, the substance used forundercoating could overheat and cause a fire.

Gasoline Engines—Fuel Quality

Use fuels advertised to have adequatedetergency and low alcohol (such as ethanol)content. Please refer to your Owner’s Manual forimportant information on the fuel recommendedfor use in your vehicle. Use of fuels withinsufficient detergent and/or excess alcohol cancause driveability problems that necessitatecleaning intake valves and fuel injection valves,and, when applicable, adjusting the engine idle.We recommend having this work performed byyour authorized BMW center or another qualifiedservice center, perhaps while regularmaintenance is performed. Your authorized BMWcenter can also recommend a gasoline additivethat will provide sufficient detergency. Thisrecommended, unscheduled maintenance,which may be necessitated by use ofinappropriate fuels, is not required in order tomaintain the emission warranty. It also is notcovered by your vehicle’s warranty because nodefect in material or workmanship or componentfailure is involved.
