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 SAV center, to repair in a rea-
sonable number of attempts, any defect or con-
dition which substantially impairs the use, value,
or safety of a new SAV 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 SAV 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 SAV or reimburse the owner/lessee
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
SAV by the owner/lessee.
You should send written notification directly
to BMW of North America, LLC of the exist-
ence of an alleged defect. Send written com-
munication to the Customer Relations and
Services Department address listed below.

sumer but there are some minimum require-
ments for participation in the program. Please

dence. You may also submit your claim in writing

mit, without attending a hearing. BBB AUTO LINE

mally covered under the New SAV Limited War-
ranty, your SAV will be transported (at no cost)
to the nearest authorized BMW SAV center. Your
SAV is also covered in the event of an accident
or collision.

hours, your SAV will be transported to a secure
location and transported to the nearest autho-
rized BMW SAV center on the next business
day.
If you request that the SAV be taken to a loca-
tion other than the nearest authorized BMW
SAV center, any additional expense will be your
responsibility.
However, you may request (at no cost) to be
taken to a different BMW SAV center as long as
it is within 50 additional miles of the “nearest”
BMW SAV center.
Towing requests for SAV disabled because of
casualty, fire, act of God, or violation of law (fed-
eral, state or local) are provided at the expense
of the owner/driver.
If it is necessary for you to have your SAV towed
through your own arrangements, you must
contact BMW Roadside Assistance for prior
authorization and instructions on claim pro-
cedures. All claims must be submitted within
sixty (60) days of the disablement or occur-
rence, accompanied by the original receipts.
Claims received after that time period may be
dishonored and are subject to the full discretion
of BMW Roadside Assistance. If BMW Roadside
Assistance is not contacted for “prior” authori-
zation, the maximum coverage for towing is
$100.00.

Typically, if you are within the terms of your war-
ranty, the services you receive under the BMW
Roadside Assistance program will not require
payment. In most cases, you will simply sign a
receipt from the provider of services.

mechanical breakdowns as follows:
Breakdowns that are warranty related, and;
Must occur in excess of 100 miles from the
driver’s residence, and;

rized BMW SAV center. Original receipts must
accompany all reimbursement requests.
