The BMW Maintenance Program
The BMW Maintenance Program is a benefit
designed to help reduce the cost of ownership.
The program has been devised with the follow-
ing objectives: to maximize vehicle safety, reli-
ability, and resale value by minimizing
breakdowns resulting from wear, and minimizing
cost and inconvenience by computing mainte-
nance intervals based upon the specific manner
in which each individual vehicle is driven.
2008 7 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 into service as a sales demonstrator,
service loaner (SLP) or company vehicle, which-
ever is earlier.
Any authorized BMW center in the United
States or Puerto Rico will perform the sched-
uled maintenance services on your vehicle at no
expense to you.

tory recommended maintenance, as determined
