(Valid only in the U.S.A. and

service as a demonstrator or company vehicle,
whichever is earlier. This warranty continues
for a period of 2 years or 24,000 miles,

Puerto Rico)
In those states and jurisdictions that have
established periodic vehicle emissions tests to
encourage proper vehicle maintenance and
require the car to pass an emissions test
approved by the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency and:
This warranty is made subject to the terms and
conditions that apply to the Emission Control
System Warranty and the New Vehicle Limited
Warranty.
1.
The car was distributed by BMW of North
America (BMW NA), or sold through the
BMW NA European Delivery Program; and
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.
2.
The car has been maintained and oper-
ated in accordance with the instructions for
proper maintenance and use set forth in
the Owner’s Manual supplied with the car;
and
A vehicle manufacturer may deny an emission
performance warranty claim on the basis of an
uncertified replacement part used in the
maintenance or repair of a vehicle only if the
vehicle manufacturer presents evidence that
the uncertified replacement part is either
defective in materials or workmanship or not
equivalent from an emission standpoint to the
original equipment part.
3.
4.
The car fails to conform to the applicable
emissions standards of the EPA as judged
by an EPA approved emissions test; and
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 federal law if the non-
conformity is not remedied within a
specified period of time.
Maintenance, replacement, or repair of
emission control devices and systems may
be performed by any automotive repair
establishment or individual using any
certified part.
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
emissions 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 stan-
dards. The decision to adjust, repair or replace
parts is solely the prerogative of BMW NA and
must reasonably be expected to correct the
failure of the warranted part.
Immediately after the car has failed an EPA
approved 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 center 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.
