2007 BMW 5 SERIES tires

The BMW Maintenance Program -
2007 525i, 525xi, 530i, 530xi,
530xi Sports Wagon, 550i
The BMW Maintenance Program is a benefit
designed to help reduce the cost of ownership.
2007 5 Series vehicles purchased from any
Authorized BMW center in the United States or
Puerto Rico are covered by the BMW Mainte-
nance Program for 48 months or 50,000 miles,
whichever occurs first. Coverage begins on the
date of first retail sale or the date the vehicle is
first placed in service as a demonstrator or com-
pany vehicle, whichever is earlier.
Any authorized BMW center in the United States
or Puerto Rico will perform the scheduled main-
tenance services on your vehicle at no expense
to you. The maintenance schedule intervals are
based on average driving conditions and opera-
tion. Should you request more frequent main-
tenance service, the cost of these services
will not be covered by the Maintenance
Program.
Coverage
The BMW Maintenance Program covers all
factory recommended maintenance, as deter-
mined by the Condition Based Service (CBS)
system. Additional items that need replacement
due to normal wear and tear, and that are not cov-
ered by the original New Vehicle Limited War-
ranty - such as brake pads, brake rotors, and
wiper blades inserts - are included, provided
wear and tear exceeds BMW wear limits. Any
adjustments required due to normal operating
conditions are also included. See page s6-7of
this booklet for additional information.

yourself locked out, a simple telephone call to

compensated up to $100 per incident. You, or

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.

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 be dishon-
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.

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.
