You have been selected to receive a Performance Share Award

under the BorgWarner Inc. 2004 Stock Incentive Plan (the

"Plan"), as specified below:

Participant: ______________________________

Address: __________________________________

Target Number of Performance Shares: ______

Performance Period: ____, 2005 to ___, 2007

Performance Measure: Relative Increase

in Total Shareholder Return Versus Peer

Group

THIS AGREEMENT, effective ___________,

2005, represents the grant of

Performance Shares by BorgWarner Inc.,

a Delaware corporation (the "Company"),

to the Participant named above,

pursuant to the provisions of the Plan.

All capitalized terms shall have the

meanings ascribed to them in the Plan,

unless specifically set forth otherwise

herein. The parties hereto agree as

follows:

1. Performance Period. The

Performance Period commences on January

1, 2005, and ends on December 31, 2007.

2. Value of Performance Shares. Each

Performance Share shall represent and

have a value equal to one share of

common stock, par value $0.01, of the

Company, subject to adjustment as

provided in Section 4(e) of the Plan.

3. Performance Shares and

Achievement of Performance Goal. The

number of Performance Shares to be

earned under this Agreement shall be

based upon the Company's Total

Shareholder Return as compared to the

Total Shareholder Return of the

Company's Peer Group (as identified in

Exhibit A) during the Performance Period.

For this purpose, "Total Shareholder

Return" shall be determined as follows:

Total Shareholder = Change in StockPrice + Dividends Paid

Return Beginning Stock Price

"Beginning Stock Price" shall mean the

average closing price as reported on

the New York Stock Exchange Composite

Tape of one (1) share of stock for the

five (5) trading days immediately prior

to the first day of the Performance

Period. "Ending Stock Price" shall mean

the average closing price as reported

on the New York Stock Exchange

Composite Tape of one (1) share of

stock for the five (5) trading days

immediately prior to the last day of

the Performance Period. "Change in

Stock Price" shall mean the difference

between the Ending Stock Price and the

Beginning Stock Price. Finally,

"Dividends Paid" shall mean the total

of all dividends paid on one (1) share

of stock during the Performance Period,

provided that dividends shall be

treated as though they are reinvested

at the end of each calendar quarter.

Following the Total Shareholder Return

determination, the Company's Percentile

Rank shall be determined as follows:

Percentile = Company Rank

Rank Total Number of Companies in Peer Group

Excluding BorgWarner Inc.

Company Rank shall be determined by

listing from highest Total Shareholder

Return to lowest Total Shareholder

Return each company in the Peer Group

(including the Company) and counting up

from the company with the lowest Total

Shareholder Return.

The percent of Target Number of

Performance Shares earned shall then be

determined based on the following chart:

Company's Percent of Target Number of

Percentile Rank Performance Shares Earned

90th and above 175.000%

75th 130.000%

65th 100.000%

50th 71.875%

35th 43.750%

25th 25.000%

Below 25th 0.000%

Interpolation shall be used to

determine the percent of Target Number

of Performance Shares earned in the

event the Company's Percentile Rank

does not fall directly on one of the

ranks listed in the above chart.

4. Termination Provisions. Except as

provided in Section 11(a) of this

Agreement and in the next paragraph, a

Participant shall be eligible for

payment of earned Performance Shares,

as specified in Section 3, only if the

Participant's employment with the

Company continues through the end of

the Performance Period.

If a Participant suffers a Disability,

dies, is terminated involuntarily

without Cause during the Performance

Period, or in the event of the

Participant's Retirement, the

Committee, in its sole discretion, may

waive the requirement that the

Participant be employed by the Company

through the end of the Performance

Period. In such a case, the

Participant (or in the event of the

Participant's death, the Participant's

beneficiary) shall be eligible for all

or that proportion of the number of

Performance Shares earned under Section

3 (determined at the end of the

Performance Period and based on actual

results) that his number of full months

of participation during the Performance

Period bears to the total number of

months in the Performance Period.

In the event of the Participant's

Termination of Employment for Cause or

voluntary Termination of Employment

during the Performance Period, or if

the Committee does not exercise its

discretion to waive the requirement

that the Participant be employed by the

Company through the end of the

Performance Period in the event of the

Participant's Termination of Employment

by reason of the Participant's death,

Disability, involuntary termination

without Cause, or Retirement prior to

the close of the Performance Period,

the Participant shall forfeit this

entire award, with no payment to the

Participant. The Participant's

transfer of employment to the Company

or any Subsidiary from another

Subsidiary or the Company during the

Performance Period shall not constitute

a Termination of Employment.

5. Dividends. The Participant shall

have no right to any dividends which

may be paid with respect to shares of

Stock until any such shares are
