Responsibilities of Ownership
Dear BMW Owner;
Congratulations on the purchase
of your new BMW. Whether you
have just purchased your first BMW
or you are a previous owner, we
hope your new BMW will live up
to your expectations in every way.
The proper care and service of
your new BMW is essential to its
safe, dependable operation, longevity and to the protection of your
investment.
Your BMW is covered by a new
motorcycle and scooter limited
warranty, noise emission warranty/tampering provisions and an
emissions related defect warranty.
Detailed warranty ­information is
contained on pages 9-26.
Our Customer Relations and Services Department, now accessible
via a toll free number, is at your
­service. The phone number is 1-800831-1117.
We recommend that you place all
the service needs of your BMW in
the hands of your BMW motorcycle
and scooter dealer who has made
a ­substantial investment in Service
Training, ­Special Tools, Diagnostic
Equipment and Original BMW
Parts. ­Certified Technicians perform
high quality repairs in a minimum
amount of time.
BMW personnel work closely with
BMW dealers to maintain the highest standards for their service and
parts department.
This booklet is provided by BMW
Motorrad USA to inform you of
­applicable motor­cycle and scooter
warranties.
BMW manufactures its motorcycles and scooters to high production quality standards. Your
Rider’s Manual for your BMW will
provide information on operating
instructions, safety and riding hints,
­general specifications, as well as
care and maintenance procedures
and ­intervals.
The finish of your BMW will be
enhanced by regular washing
with approved cleaning products,
avoiding high pressure washing
systems, and touching up any stone
chip damage immediately. Since
paint finishes are susceptible to
fading from environmental influences, we strongly recommend that
2
48858 BMW MCWB_Txt.indd 2
5/13/13 2:40 PM
your BMW remain covered when
not in use. Your authorized BMW
motorcycle and scooter dealer sells
a complete line of care products
approved by BMW Motorrad USA.
Safe operation of the disc brake
sy ste m o n yo u r m o to rcycle or scooter will be
realized by following BMW’s recommendation to change brake fluid
bi-annually regardless of mileage.
More frequent changes may be
dictated by the climatic severity of
your geographic location.
When your motorcycle or scooter
is not in regular use, the Rider’s
Manual gives you suggested steps
in the proper storage of your BMW
and specific instructions regarding
the care of your vehicle’s battery.
The effort you make to provide
regularly scheduled mainten­ance, proper care for the finish
and consistent annual servicing
will reward you with years of safe
and reliable enjoyment of your
BMW. Always carry your vehicle
documentation when traveling.

contact the General Manager or
BMW dealer principal.
Despite the best intentions of all parties, a misunderstanding may occur
between you and your BMW motorcycle and scooter dealer. Should
this ­occur and you require further

Customer Assistance Notification
During a specified period, (usually
the earlier of 12 months or 12,000
miles, though this period varies by
state), some states require us or
our authorized BMW motorcycle and scooter dealer,
to repair in a reasonable number of attempts, any defect or
condition which substantially impairs the use, value, or safety of a
new vehicle sold, leased, or registered in that state for personal or
family use.
A “reasonable number of attempts” has been defined as (i)
two or more attempts to repair the
same defect (this may vary by
state) or (ii) that the same defect
has caused the vehicle to be out
of service for more than 20 days
(this period may vary by state),
except for delays created by conditions beyond our control.
If we are unable to correct a defect
or condition covered by these
statutes in a reasonable number
of attempts, we are obligated ­either
to replace the vehicle or reimburse
the owner/lessee in an amount
equal to the purchase price or
lease payments paid by the
owner/lessee, less that amount
directly attributable to use of the
vehicle by the owner/lessee.
48858 BMW MCWB_Txt.indd 7
You should send written notification directly to BMW of
North America, LLC of the existence of an alleged defect.

and scooters, imported by BMW
NA or sold through the BMW NA
Military Sales Program to be free
of defects in materials or workmanship for a period of three (3) years
or 36,000 miles (whichever occurs
first), commencing with the date
the vehicle is delivered to its first
retail purchaser, or, if the vehicle
is first placed in service as a BMW
Press vehicle, BMW Employee
Lease vehicle, BMW demonstrator,
BMW display vehicle, BMW Fleet
vehicle or BMW dealer demonstrator prior to sale at retail, on the date
the vehicle is first placed in such
service.
To obtain service under this warranty, the vehicle must be brought,
upon discovery of the defect, to the
workshop of any authorized BMW
motorcycle and scooter dealer. This
BMW dealer will, without charge
for parts or labor, either repair or
replace the defective part(s) using
new or authorized remanufactured
parts. The decision to repair or
replace said part(s) is solely the
prerogative of BMW NA. Parts for
48858 BMW MCWB_Txt.indd 9
which replacements are made
become the property of BMW NA.
BMW NA makes no other express
warranty on this product except the
warranty as to the emission control
system. The duration of any
implied warranty of merchantability, is limited to the duration
of the express warranty herein.
BMW NA hereby excludes incidental and consequential damages, including loss of time, inconvenience, or loss of use of the
vehicle, for any breach of any express or implied warranty, including implied warranty of merchantability that may be applicable to this product. Some states
do not allow limitations on how long
an implied warranty lasts, or the exclusion or limitation of incidental or
consequential damages, so the
above limitations and exclusions
may not apply to you.
This warranty gives you specific ­legal
rights, and you may also have other
rights, which vary from state to state.
Any legal claim or action arising from
any express or limited warranty contained herein must be brought within
12 months of the date it arises.

valves and fuel injection valves,
and, when applicable, adjusting the
engine idle. We suggest having this
work performed by your authorized
BMW dealer, perhaps while regular
maintenance is performed. Your

a gasoline additive that will provide
sufficient detergency. While this
recommended unscheduled maintenance is not required in order to
maintain the emission warranty,
cleaning of intake valves or, when
applicable, fuel injection valves, or
adjustment of engine idle, necessitated by use of inappropriate
fuel, it is not covered by warranty
because no defect in material or
workmanship or component failure
is involved.

attributable to failure to perform
maintenance services at the spec­i­fied intervals or in accordance with
the instructions in the Rider’s

component or assembly due to the
installation of replacement parts
with specifications that differ in any
material respect from Original

California Emission Control
Warranty Statement
Your Warranty Rights and
Obligations
The California Air Resources
Board and BMW of North America, LLC (BMWNA) are pleased
to explain the emission control
system warranty on your 2013
motorcycle or scooter. In California, new motor vehicles must
be designed, built and equipped
to meet the State’s stringent antismog standards. BMW NA must
warrant the emission control s
­ ystem
on your motorcycle for the periods
of time listed below provided there
has been no abuse, neglect or improper maintenance of your motorcycle.
Your emission control system may
include parts such as the fuel-injection system, the ignition system,
and engine computer. Also included
may be hoses, belts, connectors
and other emission-related assemblies.
Where a warrantable condition exists,
BMW NA will repair your vehicle at
no cost to you including diagnosis,
parts and labor.
Manufacturer’s Warranty
Coverage:
—For 5 years or 18,700 miles
(30,000 kilometers) whichever
occurs first:
If an emission-related part on
your vehicle is defective, the part
will be repaired or replaced by
BMW NA. This is your emission
control system DEFECTS WARRANTY.
Owner’s Warranty
Responsibilities:
—As the vehicle owner, you are responsible for the performance of
the required maintenance listed
in your Rider’s Manual and/or in
this booklet. BMW NA recommends that you retain all receipts
covering maintenance on your
vehicle, but BMW NA cannot
deny warranty solely for the lack
of receipts or for your failure to
ensure the performance of all
scheduled maintenance.
—You are responsible for presenting your vehicle to an authorized
BMW motorcycle and scooter
dealer as soon as a problem exists. The warranty repairs should
be completed in a reasonable
14
48858 BMW MCWB_Txt.indd 14
5/13/13 2:40 PM
amount of time, not to exceed
30 days.
—As the vehicle owner, you should
also be aware that BMW NA
may deny you warranty coverage if your vehicle or a
part has failed due to abuse, neglect, improper maintenance or
un­approved modifications.
If you have any questions regarding
your warranty rights and responsibilities, you should contact:
BMW Motorrad USA, Customer
Relations and Service Dept.,
P.O. Box 1227, Westwood, NJ
07675-1227 or call: 1-800831-1117, or the California Air
Resouces Board, 1001 I Street,
Sacremento, CA 95812.
BMW of North America, LLC warrants to the first purchaser and each
subsequent purchaser that this
vehicle is designed, built, and
equipped so as to conform at
the time of sale with all California
Air ­Resources Board emission
regulations applicable at the time of
manufacture and that this vehicle is
free from defects in materials and
workmanship which cause it to fail
to conform with applicable regulations within the first 5 years or 18,700
miles (30,000 kilometers), whichever
occurs first.
48858 BMW MCWB_Txt.indd 15
The 5 year/18,700 mile (30,000
kilometers) warranty period shall
begin on the date the motorcycle
or scooter is delivered to the first
retail purchaser or, if the vehicle is
first placed in service as a BMW
Press vehicle, BMW Employee
Lease vehicle, BMW motorcycle
or scooter demonstrator, BMW
Display vehicle, BMW Fleet vehicle or BMW motorcycle and
scooter dealer demonstrator prior
to sale at retail, on the date the vehicle is first placed in such service.
To obtain service under this warranty, the motorcycle or scooter
must be brought, upon discovery of the defect, to the workshop of any authorized BMW
motorcycle and scooter dealer.
This BMW motorcycle and scooter dealer operator will, without
charge for parts or labor (including
diagnosis), either repair or replace
the defective part(s) and other
parts affected by the failure of the
warranted part, if any. The deci­sion to repair or replace said
part(s) is solely the prerogative of
BMW of North America. Parts for
which replacements are made
become the pro­­­­p­­­­erty of BMW of
North America.
15
5/13/13 2:40 PM
You are responsible for the performance of all required maintenance.
A failure caused by the lack of required maintenance will not be
covered. However, BMW NA will
not deny warranty coverage if the
lack of required maintenance was
not the cause of the failure.
BMW of North America strongly
urges that the vehicle be maintained and serviced (at the owner’s
expense) as prescribed in the maintenance schedule for the BMW
Emission Control System. The required maintenance intervals for
your model can be found under the
Emission Control Maintenance
Schedule in this ­booklet.
It is recommended that any replacement parts used for maintenance,
repair or replacement of emission
control systems be Original BMW
Parts or Original Remanufactured
BMW Parts. The owner may elect
to have maintenance, replacement
or repair of the emission control
devices and systems perf o r m e d b y a n y m o to rcycle or scooter repair establishment or individual, and may
elect to use parts other than Original BMW Parts or Original Re­manu­­­­­­­f actured Parts for such
mainten­ance, replacement or repair without invalidating this warranty; the cost of such service or
parts, however, will not be covered
under the warranty except in
cases of emergency.
Use of replacement parts which are
not of equivalent quality may impair
the effectiveness of emission control systems. If other than Original
BMW Parts or Original Remanufactured BMW Parts are used for
maintenance, replacement or repair
of components affecting emission
control, the owner should obtain assurances that such parts are warranted by their manufacturer to be
equivalent to Original BMW parts in
performance and durability. BMW
NA assumes no liability under this
warranty with respect to parts other
than Original BMW Parts and Original Remanufactured BMW Parts.
However, the use of non-BMW replacement parts does not invalidate
the warranty on other components
unless non-BMW parts cause
damage to warranted parts.
In the case of emergency where
an authorized BMW motorcycle
and scooter dealer is not available, repairs may be performed
at any available service establishment or by any individual
using any replacement part.
A part not being available or a
repair not being complete within 30
days constitutes an emergency.
BMW NA will reimburse the owner
16
48858 BMW MCWB_Txt.indd 16
5/13/13 2:40 PM
for such repair (including diagnosis) not to exceed the manu­facturer’s suggested retail price of
all warranted parts replaced and
labor charges based on the manu­
fac­turer’s recommended time allowance for the warranty repair and
the geographically appropriate
hourly labor rate that are covered
under this warranty. Replaced
parts and paid invoices must be
presented at a BMW motorcycle
and scooter dealer as a condition
of reimbursement for emergency
repairs not performed at a BMW
motorcycle and scooter dealer.
BMW recommends that you retain
all receipts and maintenance
records as proof of maintenance
and service or filling in the appropriate boxes in the Rider’s Manual
and/or this booklet. Further, maintenance, replacement, or repair
of the emission control devices
and systems may be performed
by any motor­­cycle or scooter repair establishment or ­in­­­dividual
using any equivalent part without invalid-dating the ­warranty.
The following list of components are
covered by this limited Emission
Control Warranty. The specific part
application-combination may vary
according to model.

and scooter dealer demonstrator
prior to sale at retail, on the date the
vehicle is first placed in such service.
To obtain service under this warranty, the motorcycle or scooter
must be brought, upon discovery
48858 BMW MCWB_Txt.indd 19
of the defect, to the workshop of
any authorized BMW motorcycle
and scooter dealer. This BMW
motorcycle and scooter dealer
operator will, without charge for
parts or labor (including diagnosis), either repair or replace the
defective part(s) and other parts
affected by the failure of the warranted part, if any. The decision to
repair or replace said part(s) is solely
the prerogative of BMW NA. Parts
for which replacements are made
become the property of BMW NA
and must reasonably be expected
to correct the failure of the warranted
part. Parts for which replacements
are made become the property of
BMW of North America.
You are responsible for the performance of all required maintenance.
A failure caused by the lack of required maintenance will not be covered. However, BMW NA will not deny
warranty coverage if the lack of required maintenance was not the
cause of the failure.
BMW NA strongly urges that the
vehicle be maintained and serviced (at the owner’s expense) as
prescribed in the maintenance
schedule for the BMW Emission
Control System. The required main19
5/13/13 2:40 PM
tenance intervals for your model
can be found under the Emission
Control Maintenance Schedule in
this ­booklet.
It is recommended that any replacement parts used for maintenance,
repair or replacement of emission
control systems be Original BMW
Parts or Original Remanufactured
BMW Parts. The owner may elect
to have maintenance, replacement
or repair of the emission control
devices and systems perf o r m e d b y a n y m o to rcycle or scooter repair establishment or individual, and may
elect to use parts other than Original BMW Parts or Original Re­manu­­­­f actured Parts for such
mainten­a nce, replacement or­
repair without invalidating this warranty; the cost of such service or
parts, however, will not be covered
under the warranty.
Use of replacement parts which are
not of equivalent quality may impair
the effectiveness of emission control systems. If other than Original
BMW Parts or Original Remanufactured BMW Parts are used for
maintenance, replacement or repair
of components affecting emission
control, the owner should obtain assurances that such parts are warranted by their manufacturer to be
equivalent to Original BMW parts in
performance and durability. BMW
NA assumes no liability under this
warranty with respect to parts other
than Original BMW Parts and Original Remanufactured BMW Parts.
However, the use of non-BMW replacement parts does not invalidate
the warranty on other components
unless non-BMW parts cause
damage to warranted parts.
In the case of emergency where
a n a u t h o r i z e d B M W m o to rcycle and scooter dealer is not
available, repairs may be performed at any available service establishment using any
replacement part. A part not being available or a repair not being
complete within 30 days constitutes
an emergency. BMW NA will reimburse the owner for such repair
(including diagnosis) not to exceed
the manu­facturer’s suggested retail price of all warranted parts replaced and ­labor charges based
on the manu­f ac­t urer’s recommended time allow­a nce for the
warranty repair and the geographically appropriate hourly labor rate
that are covered under this warranty. Replaced parts and paid
invoices must be presented at
a BMW motorcycle and scooter
dealer as a condition of reimbursement for emergency repairs not
performed at a BMW motorcycle
and scooter dealer.

vice, BMW Motorrad USA recommends that you retain all receipts
and maintenance records as well as

in the Rider’s Manual. Fu rt h e r, m a i n t e n a
­nce, replacement, or repair of the
emission control devices and
systems may be performed by any
motorcycle or scooter repair
establishment or individual using any equivalent part without
invalidating the warranty.

concerning the emission warranties,
