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

casualty, fire, act of God, or violation of law (fed-
eral, state or local) are provided at the expense of
