vices provided by authorized BMW centers is of

it. If you should ever have a question regarding
your BMW center’s service or your BMW’s per-
formance, we recommend that you contact your
authorized BMW center. Should you travel to an
unfamiliar area, the BMW center directory pro-
vided at the time of delivery will help you locate
the nearest authorized BMW center. The centers
listed are equipped to help you with matters
related to your BMW vehicle.
When contacting an authorized BMW center, we
suggest that depending upon the nature of your
contact, you discuss it with either the Sales, Ser-
vice, or Parts Manager.
As all matters are resolved at the BMW center
level, it is important that they be given the oppor-
tunity to provide a solution. Should you feel that
you were not provided with the proper response,
we urge you to contact the General Manager or
BMW Center Operator.
Despite the best intentions of all parties, a mis-
understanding may occur between you and your
BMW center. Should this occur and you require
further assistance, you may wish to contact the
BMW NA Customer Relations Department at
1 800 831-1117 or through our website @

digits).
3. Vehicle’s delivery date.
4. Vehicle mileage.
5. Selling BMW center’s name.

7. Description of the problem.
A BMW NA Customer Relations Representative
will carefully review all the facts involved and let
you know what further action will be taken in con-
junction with your BMW center. Please remem-ber: the first step in resolving a complaint is to
contact the authorized BMW center that per-
formed the work on your vehicle. They have the
necessary equipment and the personnel to
achieve this goal.
We are confident that every effort will be made to
ensure your satisfaction.
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.

have an opportunity to be heard. You can select
mediation or arbitration or both.

sumer but there are some minimum require-
