Towing Service
In the event of a mechanical breakdown nor-
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.
If a breakdown occurs after normal business
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.
Sign-and-Drive
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.
Trip Interruption Benefits
Trip interruption benefits are provided for
mechanical breakdowns as follows:
Breakdowns that are warranty related, and;
Must occur in excess of 100 miles from the
driver’s residence, and;
Repairs cannot be completed during normal
business hours on the same day of

Reimbursements will be made for meals, lodg-
ing, car rentals, and alternate transportation to
bring the driver and the BMW SAV together
after the SAV has been repaired by an autho-
rized BMW SAV center. Original receipts must
accompany all reimbursement requests.
Trip interruption coverage is limited to $750.00
per incident, for maximum of five days per
incident.
Always contact BMW Roadside Assistance for
trip interruption benefits. They will assist in
making all the necessary arrangements.
