California Emission Control Warranty Statement*
Your Warranty Rights and Obligations
The California Air Resources Board and BMW
of North America (BMW NA) are pleased to ex-
plain the emission control system warranty on
your 2001 SAV. In California, new motor ve-
hicles must be designed, built and equipped to
meet the State's stringent anti-smog standards.
BMW NA must warrant the emission control sys-
tem on your SAV for the periods of time listed
below provided there has been no abuse, neg-
lect or improper maintenance of your SAV.
Your emission control system may include parts
such as the fuel injection system, the ignition
system, catalytic converter, and engine com-
puter. Also included may be hoses, belts, con-
nectors and other emission-related assemblies.
Where a warrantable condition exists, BMW NA
will repair your SAV at no cost to you including
diagnosis, parts and labor.
Manufacturer's Warranty Coverage:
– For 3 years or 50,000 miles whichever occurs
first:
1. If your SAV fails a Smog Check inspection,
all necessary repairs and adjustments will be
made by BMW NA to ensure that your SAV
passes the inspection. This is your emission
control system PERFORMANCE WAR-
RANTY.
2. If any emission-related part on your SAV is
defective, the part will be repaired or replaced
by BMW NA. This is your short-term emission
control system DEFECTS WARRANTY.
– For 7 years or 70,000 miles whichever occurs
first:
If an emission-related part listed in this Warranty
Section specially noted with coverage for 7 years
or 70,000 miles is defective, the part will be re-
paired or replaced by BMW NA. This is your
long-term emission control system DEFECTS
WARRANTY.
Owner's Warranty Responsibilities:
–
As the SAV owner, you are responsible for
the performance of the required mainte-
nance listed in your Owner's Manual. BMW
NA recommends that you retain all receipts
covering maintenance on your SAV, but
BMW NA cannot deny warranty solely for
the lack of receipts or for your failure to en-
sure the performance of all scheduled main-
tenance.
– You are responsible for presenting your SAV
to an authorized BMW SAV center as soon
as a problem exists. The warranty repairs
should be completed in a reasonable amount
of time, not to exceed 30 days.

– As the SAV owner, you should also be aware
that BMW NA may deny your warranty cov-
erage if your SAV or part has failed due to
abuse, neglect, improper maintenance or
unapproved modifications.
If you have any questions regarding your war-
ranty rights and responsibilities, you should con-
