The BMW Maintenance Program -
2007 M5 and M6
The BMW Maintenance Program is a benefit
designed to help reduce the cost of ownership.
2007 M5 and M6 vehiclespurchased 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.

mined by the Condition Based Service (CBS)

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 pages5-6of
