Customer Assistance –
Notification
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 condi-
tion covered by these statutes in a reason-
able 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-
TION DIRECTLY TO BMW OF NORTH
AMERICA OF THE EXISTENCE OF AN

BBB Auto Line
If your concern is still not resolved to your
satisfaction, BMW offers additional assistance
through BBB AUTO LINE in ARKANSAS,
CALIFORNIA, IDAHO, IOWA, GEORGIA,
MINNESOTA and PENNSYLVANIA. BBB
AUTO LINE is a dispute resolution program
administered by the Council of Better
Business 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

decision is binding on BMW if you decide to

decision within the time frame specified by
the arbitrator.

remedies created by the Magnuson Moss
