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.
26
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 will help you
locate a rental car or taxi agency, hotel or even
help procure airline reservations.
In the event of an emergency, this service will
assist you in getting information out to the proper
party whether it is business or personal. If we are
unable to contact one of your party, the message
relay service will document the information, and
will make reasonable efforts to deliver the mes-
sage to the message recipient.
Personalized Trip Routing
Leave the planning to us. Simply give one of our
Roadside Assistance service representatives a
call, and we’ll provide you with detailed, easy to
read, computerized trip itinerary and companion
map package. Please allow two weeks to process
your request.
Trip Interruption Benefits
Trip interruption benefits are provided for
mechanical breakdowns as follows:
– Breakdowns that are warranty related, and;
– Must occur in excess of 100 miles from the driver’s residence, and;
– Repairs cannot be completed during normal business hours on the same day of breakdown.
Reimbursements will be made for meals, lodging,
car rentals, and alternate transportation to bring
the driver and the BMW SAV together after the
SAV has been repaired by an authorized BMW
SAV center. Original receipts must accompany all
reimbursement requests.
Trip interruption coverage is limited to $750.00
per incident, for a maximum of five days per inci-
dent.
Always contact BMW Roadside Assistance for
trip interruption benefits. They will assist in mak-
ing all the necessary arrangements.
Car Rental Discounts
Discounts are available from Hertz and Enter-
prise car rental companies. Benefits may vary
with each company and location, and are subject
to change without notice.
Simply display your Roadside Assistance card
(showing the applicable Plan number) during res-
ervation and at the time of rental to secure your
discount.

– Fines, taxes, or impound towing fees caused by a violation of local or state law.
