repairs that were performed on eligible vehicles prior to the release of this component-specific
extended limited warranty.
A qualifying customer pay repair must primarily address this Service Information Bulletin’s

Repairs performed on ineligible vehicles, eligible vehicles operated and repaired outside the United
States and Puerto Rico, and/or the diagnosis and repair of other unrelated issues, or issues due to
outside influence are not covered by this extended limited warranty. This exclusion also applies to
repairs, including consequential, that were performed using non-genuine BMW parts and/or used
passenger car or light truck parts.
