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.

ness Bureaus. BBB AUTO LINE resolves
disputes through mediation or arbitration.
Mediation is an informal proceeding whereby
a neutral third party (mediator) helps the
parties to find an acceptable resolution.
Arbitration is also an informal proceeding in
which an impartial third party renders a
decision after a hearing at which both parties
have an opportunity to be heard. You can
select mediation or arbitration or both.
The program is free of charge to you, the
consumer but there are some minimum
requirements for participation in the program.
Please contact BBB AUTO LINE at the address
or phone number listed below for more details:

decision is binding on BMW if you decide to
accept it. BMW must comply with the
decision within the time frame specified by
the arbitrator.
