Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Participants and Administrator of
the BorgWarner Morse TEC Inc.,
Ithaca Plant Retirement Savings Plan

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the BorgWarner Morse TEC Inc., Ithaca Plant Retirement Savings Plan (the “Plan”) at December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2011 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedule of assets (held at end of year) is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. This supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan's management. The supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2011 AND 2010, AND FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2011
___________________________________________________________________________________

1.
DESCRIPTION OF PLAN

The following description of the BorgWarner Morse TEC Inc., Ithaca Plant Retirement Savings Plan (the “Plan”) provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Plan document for a more complete description of the Plan's provisions.
General - The Plan is a participating plan in the BorgWarner Inc. Retirement Savings Master Trust (the “Master Trust”). The Plan sponsor is BorgWarner Morse TEC Inc. (the “Company”), a wholly owned subsidiary of BorgWarner Inc. (the “Corporation”).
The Plan was established as a defined contribution plan under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC), designed to provide eligible employees of the Company with systematic savings and tax advantaged long-term savings for retirement. The Corporation has assigned the Employee Benefit Committee (the “Committee”) to oversee the Plan and the Master Trust.
The Committee appointed T. Rowe Price Retirement Plan Services, Inc. and T. Rowe Price Trust Co. (the “Trustee”) to perform the administrative, investment, and trustee services for the Plan and the Master Trust.
The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).
Non discrimination Testing - The results of the non-discrimination tests indicated $2,202 of excess contributions in 2011 need to be returned to a participant and were considered a liability of the Plan as of December 31, 2011.
Eligibility - Hourly employees of the Company's Ithaca plant who are covered by the collective bargaining agreement between the Company and the International Brotherhood of Teamsters Local 317 become eligible in the Plan upon date of hire.
Participants' Accounts - Individual accounts are maintained for each Plan participant. Each participant's account is credited with the participant's contributions, the Company's contributions and an allocation of Plan earnings, and charged with withdrawals and an allocation of Plan expenses and losses. Allocations are based on participant earnings or account balances. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participant's vested account, including:
Company Retirement Account - The Company contributes an amount to this account for each hour worked or for which employees receive holiday, vacation, jury duty, bereavement, or bonus pay, based on years of service, and range from $0.45 per hour to $0.82 per hour. Employees cannot contribute to this account.
Savings Account - Participants may voluntarily contribute from 1% to 28% of their compensation to this account, subject to IRC limitations. New employees are automatically enrolled at 3% upon completing 60 days of service, unless they elect not to participate or they elect a different percentage rate. The Company makes contributions equal to 100% of the first 3% of participant pre-tax contributions.
Retiree Health Account - The Company provides a Retirement Health Savings Plan under the same eligibility provisions of the Plan, which can be used to purchase health insurance upon retirement, subject

5



to the provisions of the IRC. Effective January 1, 2009, participants hired prior to October 4, 1998 can voluntarily contribute up to 3% of compensation. Participants hired on or after October 5, 1998 can voluntarily contribute up to 3% of compensation and the Company will match employee contributions at a rate of $0.25 per hour, in $0.05 increments, limited to $500 per year. No after-tax contributions are allowed.
Investment Options - Participants elect to invest their account balances (including current and accumulated contributions, current and accumulated Company contributions on behalf of participants and earnings) into various investment options offered by the Plan, including collective trust funds, mutual funds, stable value fund, money market fund, and the BorgWarner Inc. Stock Fund.
Vesting - Fund assets attributable to voluntary participant contributions are fully vested at all times. Fund assets attributable to Company contributions vest 100% upon: three years of vested service; or permanent disability, death, or attaining age 65 provided the participant is employed by the Company on that date.
Withdrawals - While participants are employed, no hardship withdrawals may be made from the Company Retirement Account or the Retiree Health Account. Hardship withdrawals may be made from the Savings Account at participants' discretion subject to certain limitations. Distribution of benefits is made upon retirement, death, or other termination of employment as permitted by the Plan and by ERISA regulations. Participants may elect to receive distributions in installments or lump sum.
Notes Receivable from Participants- Participants may borrow from their Savings Account a minimum of $500 and a maximum of the lesser of (a) 50% of the vested balance or (b) $50,000 reduced by the highest outstanding loan balance in the last 12 months.
Notes receivable terms range from six months to five years, with interest charged at the rate established by the Trustee for similar loans on the origination date. Interest rates on loans outstanding as of December 31, 2011 range from 4.25% to 9.25%. Notes receivable from participants are not permitted from the Company Retirement Account or Retiree Health Account. Notes receivable from participants are secured by the remaining balance in the participant's Savings Account. Principal and interest are paid ratably through payroll deductions.
Priorities Upon Termination - Although the Company has expressed no intent to discontinue the Plan, it has the right to do so at any time, subject to provisions set forth in ERISA. In the event of termination, the interests of affected participants shall become fully vested. The Plan assets then remaining shall be used to pay administrative expenses and benefits equal to the balance in participant accounts.
Forfeited Accounts - At December 31, 2011, there were no forfeited nonvested accounts. At December 2010, there was approximately $200 in forfeited nonvested accounts. During the year ended December 31, 2011, employer contributions were reduced by approximately $19,000 from forfeited nonvested accounts.
2.
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation - The financial statements of the Plan are prepared under the accrual method of accounting and in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP).
Investment contracts held by a defined-contribution plan are required to be reported at fair value. However, contract value is the relevant measurement attribute for that portion of the net assets available for benefits of a defined-contribution plan attributable to fully benefit-responsive investment contracts because contract value is the amount participants would receive if they were to initiate permitted

6



transactions under the terms of the Plan. The Statements of Net Assets Available for Benefits present the fair value of the investment in the Master Trust as well as the adjustment of the investment in the Master Trust's interest in common trust relating to fully benefit-responsive investment contracts from fair value to contract value. The Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits is prepared on a contract value basis.
Adoption of New Accounting Guidance -In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB') amended Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 210, "Balance Sheet", requiring companies to disclose both gross and net information about instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the statement of financial position as well as instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting arrangement. This guidance is effective retrospectively for interim and annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. Plan management anticipates the adoptions of this guidance will not have a material impact on the Plans' financial statements.
In May 2011, the FASB amended ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” which clarifies the application of existing fair value measurement guidance and amends the guidance to include increased transparency around valuation inputs and investment categorization. This guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011.  Plan management anticipates the adoption will not have a material impact on the Plan's financial statement
Investment Valuation -The Master Trust's investments are recorded at fair value, based upon the last traded or current bid prices in active markets. Where there are no readily available last traded or current bid prices, fair value estimation procedures used in determining asset values might cause differences from the values that would exist in a ready market due to the potential subjectivity in the estimates. Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets measured at fair value.
Collective Trust Funds - The Collective Trust Funds are valued on a unit value basis either on a monthly or quarterly basis by the fund manager and are reviewed by the Master Trust's fiduciaries for reasonableness. The fair values of these investments are determined by reference to the respective funds' underlying assets, which are primarily marketable equity and fixed income securities. In the event that a fund manager's valuation is not deemed reasonable, fair value is determined by the fair valuation policies prescribed by the Master Trust agreement.

The fair value on a unit basis for the Master Trust's holdings in the Northern Trust Focus, Bond Index, and Equity Index funds were approximately a combined $343,879,000 at December 31, 2011 and the BlackRock LifePath, US Debt Index, and Equity Index funds were approximately a combined $343,050,000 at December 31, 2010; these funds invest in stocks, bonds, REITS, and cash to correspond with the funds' objectives and duration. Their remaining lives are 5 - 40+ years, corresponding with the expected retirement date. Redemption is permitted daily, there are no restrictions, and unfunded commitments are not applicable.

Stable Value Fund - The contract value of the T. Rowe Price Stable Value Common Trust Fund (SVF) of the Master Trust was approximately $152,817,000 and $140,191,000 at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The fair value of the SVF was approximately $158,339,000 and $145,442,000 at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The fair value of the SVF is determined based on the fair value of the underlying assets in the funds on the close of business on the valuation date.

The SVF is an open ended fund from which trust units may be redeemed on a daily basis.  The trust invests primarily in Guaranteed Investment Contracts (GICs), Bank Investment Contracts (BICs), Synthetic Investment Contract (SICs), and Separate Account Contracts (SACs). Retirement plans are required to provide 12- or 30- month advance notice to the Trustee prior to redemption of trust units; the notice period may be shortened or waived by fund Trustee. Unfunded

7



commitments are not applicable.

BorgWarner Inc. Common Stock - BorgWarner Inc. common stock is valued at the closing price reported on the New York Stock Exchange Composite Listing.

Mutual Funds - Mutual Funds are investment vehicles stated at fair value based on quoted market prices reported by the Trustee.

Money Market Funds - The Money Market Funds invest in high-quality short-term securities with maturities of 13 months or less. The funds are an investment vehicle valued using $1 for the net asset value. The funds are stated at fair value, based on the fund's underlying assets, as reported by the Trustee.
 
Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires Plan management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of net assets available for benefits as of the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of changes in net assets available for benefits during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Risks and Uncertainties - The Plan utilizes various investment instruments, including a stable value fund, mutual funds, collective trusts, equities and a money market fund. Investment securities, in general, are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, credit, and overall market volatility. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect participants' account balances and the amounts reported in the financial statements.
Administrative Expenses - Transfer taxes and brokerage expenses attributable to the Master Trust assets are charged to the applicable fund as a reduction of the return on that fund. Any other expenses incurred with respect to Master Trust administration are charged to participant accounts, where applicable, or are paid in such manner as the Company determines, and is in accordance with the plan documents.
Payment of Benefits - Benefits are recorded when paid. There were no amounts allocated to accounts of persons who had elected to withdraw from the Plan but had not yet been paid at December 31, 2011 or 2010.
3.
EXEMPT PARTIES-IN-INTEREST TRANSACTIONS

The Master Trust invests in BorgWarner Inc. common stock and makes loans to participants, which are permitted party-in-interest transactions. Certain Master Trust investments are shares of mutual funds and other investments managed by the Trustee and, therefore, these transactions qualify as party-in-interest transactions. Fees paid by the Plan to the Trustee for administrative services amounted to approximately $132,000 for the year ended December 31, 2011, and are included in administrative expenses. Fees paid by the Plan to the Trustee for investment management services were included as a reduction of return earned on each fund.
At December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Master Trust held approximately 278,000 and 326,000, shares respectively, of BorgWarner Inc. common stock, the sponsoring employer, on behalf of the Plan. These shares had a fair value of approximately $17,740,000 and $23,563,000 at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
The costs and expenses incurred by the Trustee under the Plan and the fee charged by the Trustee are charged to the Plan. The Company has the right to be reimbursed each year from the Plan for the cost to the Company of bank fees and auditing fees.

4.
TAX STATUS

The Plan obtained a favorable determination letter, dated February 13, 2009, in which the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) stated the Plan complied with applicable requirements of the IRC. The Plan has been amended since the receipt of the determination letter; however, the fiduciaries believe that the Plan continues to be designed and operated in accordance with the applicable provisions of the IRC. The fiduciaries of the Plan believe that the Plan and related trust continue to be tax-exempt. Therefore, no provision for income taxes has been included in the Plan's financial statements.

Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require Plan management to evaluate tax positions taken by the Plan and recognize a tax liability or asset if the Plan has taken an uncertain position that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by the Department of Labor. The Plan administrator has analyzed the tax positions taken by the Plan, and has concluded that as of December 31, 2011and 2010, there are no uncertain positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition of a liability or asset or disclosure in the financial statements. The Plan is subject to audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress.

MASTER TRUST INFORMATION

Use of the Master Trust permits commingling of trust assets of a number of defined contribution plans of the Corporation for investment and administrative purposes. Although assets are commingled in the Master Trust, the Trustee maintains supporting records for the purpose of allocating the total investment income of the Master Trust to the various participating plans.
Purchases and sales of securities in the Master Trust are recorded on a trade-date basis. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
The investments held by the Master Trust are valued at fair value at the end of each business day, with the exception of the investments held in the SVF, which are valued at contract value. The investment

9



contracts held in the SVF have been adjusted from fair value to contract value by $(5,522,000) and $(5,251,000) at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The Master Trust investments are administered by the Trustee. The ratio of the Plan's assets in each investment account to the value of all assets held in each Master Trust investment account is used to allocate interest income, dividend income, realized gains (losses) and unrealized increases (decreases) in market value of investments on a daily basis. Other changes in net assets available for benefits are directly attributable to the Plan and are therefore not subject to allocation.
At December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Plan's interest in the participant-directed investments of the Master Trust at contract value was 10.14% and 9.90%, respectively.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

ASC Topic 820 provides a definition of fair value which focuses on an exit price rather than an entry price, establishes a framework for measuring fair value which emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement, and requires expanded disclosures about fair value measurements. In accordance with ASC 820-10, the Master Trust may use valuation techniques consistent with the market, income and cost approaches to measure fair value. As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, ASC Topic 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair values. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 measurements and the lowest priority to Level 3 measurements. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC Topic 820 are described as follows:
Level 1:
Observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets;
Level 2:
Inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3:
Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are based on one or more of the following three valuation techniques noted in ASC Topic 820:

11



A.
Market approach: Prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities.
B.
Cost approach: Amount that would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset (replacement cost).
C.
Income approach: Techniques to convert future amounts to a single present amount based upon market expectations (including present value techniques, option-pricing and excess earnings models).

The following table classifies the Master Trust investments measured at fair value by level within the fair value hierarchy as of December 31, 2011:
