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.
Every X3 purchased from an authorized BMW
SAV center in the United States or Puerto Rico
is covered by The BMW Maintenance 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, whichever is
earlier.
Any authorized BMW SAV center in the United
States or Puerto Rico will perform the sched-
uled or additional maintenance services on your
vehicle at no expense to you.
Coverage
The BMW Maintenance Program covers all fac-
tory-recommended maintenance, as determined
by the Service Interval Indicator. Additional items
that need replacement due to normal wear and
tear, and that are not covered by the original
New SAV Limited Warranty - such as brake
pads, brake rotors and wiper blade inserts - are
included, provided wear and tear exceeds BMW
specifications. Any adjustments required due to
normal operating conditions are also included.

5. BBB AUTO LINE staff may try to help
resolve your dispute through mediation. If
mediation is not successful, or if you do not
wish to participate in mediation, claims
within the program’s jurisdiction may be pre-
sented to an arbitrator at an informal hear-
ing. The arbitrator’s decision should
ordinarily be issued within 40 days from the
time your complaint is filed; there may be a
delay of 7 days if you did not first contact
BMW NA about your problem, or a delay of
up to 30 days if the arbitrator requests an
inspection/report by an impartial technical
expert or further investigation and report by
BBB AUTO LINE.

before asserting in court any rights or reme-
dies conferred by California Civil Code Sec-
tion 1793.22. You are not required to use
BBB AUTO LINE before pursuing rights and
remedies under any other state or federal
law. “You are also required to use BBB
AUTO LINE before exercising rights or seek-
ing remedies created by Title I of the Mag-
nuson-Moss Warranty Act, 15 U.S.C. sec.
2301 et seq. If you choose to seek redress
by pursuing rights and remedies not created
by California Civil Code Section 1793.22 or
Title I of the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act,
resort to BBBAUTO LINE is not required
by those statutes.”
7. California Civil Code Section 1793.2(d) requires that, if BMW NA or its representa-
tive is unable to repair a new motor vehicle
to conform to the vehicle’s applicable
express warranty after a reasonable number
of attempts, BMW NA may be required to
replace or repurchase the vehicle. California
Civil Code Section 1793.22(b) creates a pre-
sumption that BMW NA has had a reason-
able number of attempts to conform the vehicle to its applicable express warranties
if, within 18 months from delivery to the
buyer or 18,000 miles on the vehicle’s
odometer, whichever occurs first,
one or
more of the following occurs:

form to the written warranty that substan-
tially impairs the use, value or safety of the
vehicle] results in a condition that is likely
to cause death or serious bodily injury if the
vehicle is driven AND the nonconformity
has been subject to repair two or more
times by BMW NA or its agents AND the
buyer or lessee has directly notified
BMW NA of the need for the repair of the
nonconformity; OR
• The same nonconformity has been subject
to repair 4 or more times by BMW NA or its
agents AND the buyer has notified
BMW NA of the need for the repair of the
nonconformity; OR
• The vehicle is out of service by reason of

agents for a cumulative total of more than
30 calendar days after delivery of the vehi-
cle to the buyer.

It is strongly recommended that any replace-
ment parts used for maintenance, repair or
replacement of emission control systems be
genuine BMW Service Parts or BMW Authorized
Remanufactured Parts. Without invalidating this
warranty, the owner may elect to have mainte-
nance, repair or replacement of the emission
control systems performed by any automotive
repair establishment, or elect to use parts other
than BMW Authorized Remanufactured or genu-
ine BMW Service Parts. However, the cost of
such service or parts will not be covered under
this warranty, except in emergency situations. In
an emergency situation, where an authorized
BMW SAV center is not reasonably available or a
warranty replacement part is not available within
30 days, repairs may be performed at any avail-
able service establishment or by any individual
using any replacement part.
A repair not completed within 30 days consti-
tutes an emergency. BMW NA will reimburse
the owner for such emergency repairs (including
labor, parts and diagnosis not to exceed BMW
suggested retail price for all warranted parts
replaced and labor charges based on the manu-
facturer’s recommended time allowance for the
warranty repair and the geographically appropri-
ate hourly labor rate) that are covered under this
warranty. Replaced parts and paid invoices must
be presented to an authorized BMW SAV center
as a condition of reimbursement for emergency
repairs not performed by an authorized BMW
SAV center.
The use of replacement parts, which are not of
equivalent quality, may impair the effectiveness
of emission control systems. If other than genu-
ine BMW Service Parts or Authorized Remanu-
factured Parts are used for maintenance, repair
or replacement of components affecting emis-
sion control, the owner should obtain assur-
ances that such parts are warranted by their
manufacturer to be equivalent to genuine BMW
parts in performance and durability. BMW NA
assumes no liability under this warranty with
respect to parts other than genuine BMW parts.
However, the use of non-genuine BMW replace-
ment parts does not invalidate the warranty on
other components, unless non-genuine BMW
parts cause damage to warranted parts.What is not covered
This warranty does not cover malfunctions
caused by any of the following: accident, flood,
misuse, modification, alteration, tampering, dis-
connection, improper or inadequate mainte-
nance, except if performed by an authorized
BMW SAV center doing warranty repair work,
use of leaded fuel or fuel other than as specified
in the Owner’s Manual.
The replacement of maintenance parts, such as
spark plugs, filters and similar items used in
required maintenance services or the repair or
replacement of maintenance parts beyond the
first replacement interval.
Any SAV on which the odometer has been
replaced or altered and the true mileage cannot
be determined.

altered or cannot be determined, or if the SAV
has been declared a total loss or sold for sal-
vage purposes.
