                BORGWARNER EXPECTS FIRST QUARTER EPS OF ABOUT $1.80;
                          REITERATES FULL-YEAR GUIDANCE


Chicago, Illinois, April 8, 2004 - BorgWarner Inc. (NYSE:  BWA) announced today
that it expects to deliver earnings of approximately $1.80 per share for the
first quarter of 2004 and reiterated its guidance for full-year earnings of
$7.10 to $7.30 per share.  Demand for the company's technology for
fuel-efficient engines in Europe and for four-wheel
 drive systems in North America
continue to drive growth.  First quarter expected earnings of about $1.80 per
share compares with $1.65 for the first quarter of 2003.

     "We expect to deliver continued growth in 2004 from our technologies that
address the needs of our global customers for fuel efficiency, performance, air
quality and vehicle stability," said Timothy M. Manganello, Chairman and CEO.
"While there is uncertainty in the second half of the year from the impact of
escalating prices for commodities like steel, we are working to offset these
cost increases."

     The company's management is presenting today at the Morgan Stanley Global
Automotive Conference in New York City.  The presentation will be webcast at
