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 center, to repair in a reasonable number of
attempts, any defect or condition which substan-
tially impairs the use, value, or safety of a new
vehicle 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 vehicle is out of service by reason
of one or more repair(s) for more than a cumula-
tive 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 vehicle or reimburse the owner/les-
see 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 NOTIFICATION
DIRECTLY TO BMW OF NORTH AMERICA OF
THE EXISTENCE OF AN ALLEGED DEFECT.

5.BBB AUTO LINE staff may try to help resolve
your dispute through mediation. If mediation
is not successful, or if you do not wish to par-
ticipate in mediation, claims within the pro-
gram’s jurisdiction may be presented to an
arbitrator at an informal hearing. The arbitra-
tor’s decision should ordinarily be issued
within 40 days from the time your complaint
is filed; there may be a delay of 7 days if you
did not first contact BMW about your prob-
lem, or a delay of up to 30 days if the arbitra-
tor requests an inspection/report by an
impartial technical expert or further investiga-
tion and report by BBBAUTO LINE.
6. You are required to use BBBAUTO LINE
before asserting in court any rights or reme-
dies conferred by California Civil Code Sec-
tion 1793.22. You are not required to use
BBB AUTO LINE before pursuing rights and
remedies under any other state or federal law.
“You are also required to use BBBAUTO
LINE before exercising rights or seeking rem-
edies created by Title I of the Magnuson-
Moss Warranty Act, 15 U.S.C. sec. 2301 et
seq. If you choose to seek redress by pursu-
ing rights and remedies not created by Cali-
fornia Civil Code Section 1793.22 or Title I of
the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, resort to
BBB AUTO LINE is not required by those
statutes.”
7. California Civil Code Section 1793.2(d) requires that, if BMW or its representative is
unable to repair a new motor vehicle to con-
form to the vehicle’s applicable express war-
ranty after a reasonable number of attempts,
BMW may be required to replace or repur-
chase the vehicle. California Civil Code Sec-
tion 1793.22(b) creates a presumption that
BMW has had a reasonable number of
attempts to conform the vehicle to its appli-
cable express warranties if, within 18 months
from delivery to the buyer or 18,000 miles on
the vehicle’s odometer, whichever occurs
first, one or more of the following occurs:
• The same nonconformity [a failure to con-
form to the written warranty that substan- tially impairs the use, value or safety of the
vehicle] results in a condition that is likely to
cause death or serious bodily injury if the
vehicle is driven AND the nonconformity has
been subject to repair two or more times by
BMW or its agents AND the buyer or lessee
has directly notified BMW of the need for
the repair of the nonconformity; OR
• The same nonconformity has been subject
to repair 4 or more times by BMW or its
agents AND the buyer has notified BMW of
the need for the repair of the nonconformity;
OR
• The vehicle is out of service by reason of
repair of nonconformities by BMW or its
agents for a cumulative total of more than
30 calendar days after delivery of the vehicle
to the buyer.

ment program is devoted to our multi-million-dol-
lar 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 transatlantic
shipment to the United States. Imperfections in
the mechanical and electrical systems or damage
to the sheet metal, paint, trim or other compo-
nents of the vehicle which may occur during
transportation from the factory to the United
States are normally detected and corrected at
the Import Processing Centers in the United
States. Any defect in material or workmanship
which occurs during the warranty period is cov-
ered under the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.

tion with the BMW ownership experience.

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

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 Vehicle Limited Warranty,
your vehicle will be transported (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 autho-
rized BMW center on the next business day.
If you request that the vehicle be taken to a loca-
tion other than the nearest authorized BMW cen-
ter, 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.
25

Towing requests for vehicles 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 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 hon-
ored and are subject to the full discretion of
BMW Roadside Assistance. If BMW Roadside
Assistance is not contacted for
prior
authoriza-
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.
Emergency Valet service
Should there be a need beyond BMW Roadside
Assistance, Emergency Valet service will provide
a personal assistant who will help in every way to
get you to your final destination. Emergency Valet
service will help you locate a rental car or taxi
agency, hotel or even help procure airline
reservations.
In event of an emergency, this service will assist
you in getting information out to the proper party
whether it’s business or personal. If unable to

the information, and will make reasonable efforts
to deliver the message to the message recipient.
