BMW Full Maintenance
Programs - 2005 BMW Z4
2.5i, 3.0i
BMW Full Maintenance Programs are a benefit
designed to help reduce the cost of scheduled
and unscheduled maintenance.
2005 BMW Z4 models purchased from any
Authorized BMW center in the United States or
Puerto Rico are covered by Full Maintenance
for 48 months or 50,000 miles, whichever
occurs first. Coverage begins on the date of
first retail sale or the date the vehicle is first
placed in service as a demonstrator or
company vehicle, whichever is earlier.
Any authorized BMW center in the United
States or Puerto Rico will perform the
scheduled or additional maintenance services
on your vehicle at no expense to you. The
maintenance schedule intervals are based on
normal driving conditions and operation.
Should you request more frequent
maintenance service, the cost of these
services will not be covered by the
Maintenance Program.

mended maintenance, as determined by the
service interval indicator. Additional items that
need replacement due to normal wear and

are included, provided wear and tear
exceeds BMW specifications. Any adjust-
ments required due to normal operating
conditions are also included. See pages 5-8
of this booklet for additional information.
Maintenance Intervals
Time intervals should be followed using the
maintenance interval as indicated by the BMW
Service Indicator lights on the check control

During a specific period (usually the earlier of
12 months or 12,000 miles, though this
period varies by state), some states
require us or our authorized BMW center,
to repair in a reasonable number of attempts,
any defect or condition which substantially
impairs the use, value, or safety of a new
vehicle sold, leased or registered in that
state.
A “reasonable number of attempts” is gener-
ally defined as (i) two or more attempts to
repair the same defect (the number of attempts
may vary by state) or (ii) that the same defect
has caused the vehicle to be out of service by
reason of repair for more than 30 days (this
period may vary by state), except for delays
created by conditions beyond our control.
If we are unable to correct a defect or condition
covered by these statutes in a reasonable
number of attempts, we may be obligated
either to replace the vehicle or reimburse the
owner/lessee in an amount equal to the
purchase price or lease payments paid by the
owner/lessee, less the amount directly
attributable to use of the vehicle by the owner/
lessee.
YOU SHOULD SEND WRITTEN NOTIFICA-

As a BMW owner, you will experience BMW
quality first hand. Our dedication to excellence
in design, engineering, and service is among
the best in the world. And we invest heavily
every year in our people and facilities to
ensure that our quality standards are consis-
tently applied from the factory to the BMW
center. Part of that investment program is
devoted to our multi-million-dollar
Import Processing Centers staffed by our
highly trained specialists.
At these state-of-the-art facilities, each BMW is
given a thorough inspection after its trans-
atlantic shipment to the United States.
Imperfections in the mechanical and electrical
systems or damage to the sheet metal, paint,
trim or other components of the vehicle which
may occur during transportation from the
factory to the United States are normally
detected and corrected at the Import Process-
ing Centers in the United States. Any defect in
material or workmanship which occurs during
the warranty period is covered under the New
Vehicle Limited Warranty.
Special Programs
SOMETIMES BMW OF NORTH AMERICA
OFFERS A SPECIAL ADJUSTMENT
PROGRAM TO PAY ALL OR PART OF THE
COST OF CERTAIN REPAIRS BEYOND THE

will determine the type of help required.
Dispatch Service
A service provider will be dispatched to the
site of your disabled vehicle.
On-Site Assistance
On-site service for vehicle disablements such
as flat tires, dead batteries, and out of fuel
conditions is provided up to a maximum of
$100.00 per incident by BMW Roadside
Assistance.
The cost for parts and fuel, when used on-site,
are the responsibility of the owner/driver. The

any of the above on-site services.

prove ownership by presenting proper
documentation, i.e., a valid drivers license,
registration, etc. Lock-out service will be
provided up to a maximum of $100.00 per

Towing Service
In the event of a mechanical breakdown
normally covered under the New Vehicle
Limited Warranty, your vehicle will be trans-
ported (at no cost) to the nearest authorized
BMW center. Your vehicle is also covered in the
event of an accident or collision.
If a breakdown occurs after normal business
hours, your vehicle will be transported to a
secure location and transported to the nearest
authorized BMW center on the next business
day.If you request that the vehicle be taken to a
location other than the nearest authorized
BMW center, any additional expense will be
your responsibility.
However, you may request (at no cost) to be
taken to a different BMW center as long as it is
within 50 additional miles of the "nearest"
BMW center.
Towing requests for vehicles disabled
because of casualty, fire, act of God, or
violation of law (federal, state or local) are
accepted at the expense of the owner/driver.
If it is necessary for you to have your vehicle
towed through your own arrangements, you
must contact BMW Roadside Assistance for
prior authorization and instructions on claim
procedures. All claims must be submitted
within sixty (60) days of the disablement or
occurrence, accompanied by the original
receipts. Claims received after that time period
may not be honored and are subject to the full
discretion of BMW Roadside Assistance. If
BMW Roadside Assistance is not contacted for
"prior" authorization, the maximum coverage
for towing situations is $100.00.
Sign-and-Drive
In most instances, services provided under the
BMW Roadside Assistance Program do not
require immediate payment.
Usually, you will be able to sign a receipt, so
the provider of the service can be reimbursed
directly by BMW Roadside Assistance.
Parts, materials and fuel should be paid by
you directly to the provider of the services.
Auto Valet Service
Should there be a need beyond BMW
Roadside Assistance, Auto Valet will provide a
personal assistant who will help in every way
to get you to your final destination. Auto Valet

hotel or even help procure airline reservations.
