Customer Assistance —
Notification
During a specific period (the earlier of 12 months
or 12,000 miles, though this period varies by
state), some states require us or our authorized
BMW SAV center, to repair in a reasonable num-
ber of attempts, any defect or condition which
substantially impairs the use, value, or safety of a
new SAV sold, leased or registered in that state.
A “reasonable number of attempts” is generally
defined as (i) four or more attempts to repair the
same defect (the number of attempts vary by
state) or (ii) the SAV is out of service by reason of
one or more repair(s) for more than a cumulative
total of 30 days (this period varies 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 num-
ber of attempts, we may be obligated either to
replace the SAV 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 SAV by
the owner/lessee.
YOU SHOULD SEND WRITTEN NOTIFICATION
DIRECTLY TO BMW OF NORTH AMERICA OF
THE EXISTENCE OF AN ALLEGED DEFECT.

tional cost. (Subject to certain limitations and

OR;

less of the driver. Protection is concurrent with
the New SAV Limited Warranty.

years/unlimited miles. NOTE: This does not
affect warranty coverage which remains at 4
years/50,000 miles.

found inside your vehicle portfolio. It contains the
24-hour toll-free number for Roadside Assis-
tance.
For your convenience a decal which shows the
same information as the Roadside Assistance
card, has been affixed to the tool kit cover on the
trunk lid.
In a few weeks you will receive a permanent
Roadside Assistance card by mail. Your date of
purchase and vehicle identification number (VIN)
are embossed on the card. This card should be carried by the driver of your
BMW.

(1 800 332-4269) is answered by a BMW Road-
side Assistance service representative. In order

essential that you should provide detailed and
accurate information to the service representa-
tive.

Services
From the information you provide, the BMW
Roadside Assistance service representative 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 condi-
tions 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
New SAV Limited Warranty does not cover any of
the above on-site services.
Lock-Out
Your BMW is equipped with an advanced entry
system, which cannot be bypassed by traditional
locksmith methods without significant damage to
your vehicle. BMW encourages you to always
carry your spare wallet key separately from your
other keys. However, in the event that you find
yourself locked out, a simple telephone call to
Roadside Assistance will help you get back on
the road. A representative will help you find
transportation or arrange towing service to the
nearest BMW center. Related towing costs will be
compensated up to $100 per incident. You, or
the person driving your vehicle, are responsible
for any expenses related to replacement keys.
Towing Service
In the event of a mechanical breakdown normally
covered under the New SAV Limited Warranty,
your SAV will be transported (at no cost) to the
nearest authorized BMW SAV center. Your SAV is
also covered in the event of an accident or colli-
sion. If a breakdown occurs after normal business
hours, your SAV will be transported to a secure
location and transported to the nearest autho-
rized BMW SAV center on the next business day.
If you request that the SAV be taken to a location
other than the nearest authorized BMW SAV cen-
ter, any additional expense will be your responsi-
bility.
However, you may request (at no cost) to be
taken to a different BMW SAV center as long as it
is within 50 additional miles of the “nearest”
BMW SAV center.
Towing requests for SAV disabled because of
casualty, fire, act of God, or violation of law (fed-
eral, state or local) are provided at the expense of
the owner/driver.
If it is necessary for you to have your SAV towed
through your own arrangements,
you must con-
tact BMW Roadside Assistance for prior
authorization and instructions on claim pro-
cedures. 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 hon-
ored and are subject to the full discretion of
BMW Roadside Assistance. If BMW Roadside
Assistance is not contacted for priorauthoriza-
tion, the maximum coverage for towing is
$100.00.
Sign-and-Drive
Typically, if you are within the terms of your war-
ranty, the services you receive under the BMW
Roadside Assistance program will not require
payment. In most cases, you will simply sign a
receipt from the provider of services.
