Arrive safely.
Reliability
Regular visits to the workshop
for routine servicing are
strongly recommended even
after the warranty period has
elapsed. They are the only way
to be genuinely certain that your
BMW C1 is being kept in per-
fect working order.
For generous treatment of
claims submitted after the war-
ranty period has expired, evi-
dence of regular maintenance
by an authorised BMW dealer is
essential.Certain signs of wear may not
otherwise be noticed until it is
too late to put them right at
moderate cost.
The staff in the authorised BMW
dealership or workshop know
every detail of your vehicle and
can take remedial action if nec-
essary before minor faults
develop into serious problems.
By having the necessary repairs
done properly and in good time,
you save time and money in the
long run.
… serviceYou can obtain accurate advice
in all cases, and make appoint-
ments with a firm completion
deadline which we will comply
with punctually.
But the most gratifying feeling
of all is that your BMW C1 is in
genuinely good shape when it
leaves the authorised BMW
dealer's workshop
–and above
all, safe.
