ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT

This document is in two parts. The first part is this prospectus supplement, which describes the
specific terms of the Senior Notes that we are offering and other matters relating to us and our
financial condition. The second part is the attached base prospectus, which gives more general
information about securities we may offer from time to time, some of which does not apply to the
Senior Notes we are offering. The description of the terms of the Senior Notes in this prospectus
supplement supplements the description in the accompanying prospectus under "Description of Debt
Securities," and to the extent it is inconsistent with that description, the information in this prospectus
supplement replaces the information in the accompanying prospectus. Generally, when we refer to the
prospectus, we are referring to both parts of this document combined. If information in the prospectus
supplement differs from information in the accompanying prospectus, you should rely on the
information in this prospectus supplement.

Except as used in "Description of the Senior Notes," as the context otherwise requires, or as
otherwise specified or used in this prospectus supplement or the accompanying prospectus, the terms
"we," "our," "us," "the company," "BWA" and "BorgWarner" refer to BorgWarner Inc. and its
consolidated subsidiaries. References in this prospectus supplement to "U.S. dollars," "U.S. $" or "$"
are to the currency of the United States of America.

The distribution of this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus and the offering
of the Senior Notes in certain jurisdictions may be restricted by law. Persons who come into
possession of this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus should inform themselves
about and observe any such restrictions. This prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus
do not constitute, and may not be used in connection with, an offer or solicitation by anyone in any
jurisdiction in which such offer or solicitation is not authorized or in which the person making such
offer or solicitation is not qualified to do so or to any person to whom it is unlawful to make such offer
or solicitation.

You should not consider any information in this prospectus supplement or the accompanying
prospectus to be investment, legal or tax advice. You should consult your own counsel, accountant and
other advisors for legal, tax, business, financial and related advice regarding the purchase of the Senior
Notes. We are not making any representation to you regarding the legality of an investment in the
Senior Notes by you under applicable investment or similar laws.

You should read and consider all of the information contained or incorporated by reference in this
prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus before making your investment decision.

accompanying prospectus may contain forward-looking statements as contemplated by the 1995
