BMW Z4 M Roadster 2008 - Manual (Page 38)

Federal Emissions Performance
Warranty (Valid only in the U.S.A.
and Puerto Rico)
In those states and jurisdictions that have estab-
lished 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:
1. The car was distributed by BMW of North
America, LLC (BMW NA), or sold through
the BMW NA European Delivery Program;
and
2. The car has been maintained and operated
in accordance with the instructions for
proper maintenance and use set forth in the
Owner’s Manual supplied with the car; and
3. The car fails to conform to the applicable
emissions standards of the EPA as judged
by an EPA approved emissions test; and
4. 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 fed-
eral law if the non-conformity is not reme-
died within a specified period of time.
Then, in accordance with the provisions of sec-
tion 207(b) of the Clean Air Act, BMW NA war-
rants 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 emis-
sions 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 standards. The deci-
sion to adjust, repair or replace parts is solely
the prerogative of BMW NA and must reason-
ably be expected to correct the failure of the
warranted part.
Coverage begins on the date of first retail sale,
or the date the vehicle is first placed into service
as a sales demonstrator, service loaner (SLP) or
company vehicle, whichever is earlier. This war-
ranty continues for a period of 2 years or
24,000 miles, whichever occurs first, except for
specific emissions control components (as
listed on page 35), for which the warranty period
is 8 years or 80,000 miles whichever occurs
first.
This warranty is made subject to the terms and
conditions that apply to the Emission Control
System Warranty and the New Vehicle Limited
Warranty.
No claim under this warranty will be denied on
the basis of use of a properly installed EPA cer-
tified emission part for maintenance and repair.
A vehicle manufacturer may deny an emission
performance warranty claim on the basis of an
uncertified replacement part used in the mainte-
nance or repair of a vehicle only if the vehicle
manufacturer presents evidence that the uncer-
tified replacement part is either defective in
materials or workmanship or not equivalent from
an emission standpoint to the original equip-
ment part.
Maintenance, replacement, or repair of emis-
sion control devices and systems may be
performed by any automotive repair estab-
lishment or individual using any certified
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 cen-
ter 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.
You may obtain further information concerning
the emission warranties, or report violations of
warranty terms, by contacting the Director, Field
Operations and Support Division (6406J), Envi-
ronmental Protection Agency, 401 “M” Street,
SW, Washington, D.C. 20460.
