BMW Maintenance Program –
2004 745i, 745Li, 760Li
Maintenance Programs are a benefit
designed to help reduce the cost of owner-
ship.
2004 7 Series model vehiclespurchased
from any Authorized BMW center in the

is earlier.
Any authorized BMW center in the United
States or Puerto Rico will perform the sched-
uled maintenance services on your vehicle at

ule intervals are based on average driving

be covered by the Maintenance Program.

mended maintenance, as determined by the
