Customer Assistance Information
Your satisfaction with our product and the ser-
vices provided by authorized BMW centers is of
great importance to us. We take pride in our
product, as does the BMW center who services
it. If you should ever have a question regarding
your BMW center’s service or your BMW’s per-
formance, we recommend that you contact your
authorized BMW center. Should you travel to an
unfamiliar area, the BMW center directory pro-
vided at the time of delivery will help you locate
the nearest authorized BMW center. The centers
listed are equipped to help you with matters
related to your BMW vehicle.
When contacting an authorized BMW center, we
suggest that depending upon the nature of your
contact, you discuss it with either the Sales,
Service, or Parts Manager.
As all matters are resolved at the BMW center
level, it is important that they be given the
opportunity to provide a solution. Should you
feel that you were not provided with the proper
response, we urge you to contact the General
Manager or BMW Center Operator.
Despite the best intentions of all parties, a mis-
understanding may occur between you and your
BMW center. Should this occur and you require
further assistance, please contact the BMW NA
Customer Relations and Services Department at
1 800 831-1117. When contacting us, we ask
that you provide the following information:
Your name, address and telephone number
Vehicle Identification Number (last seven
digits)
Vehicle’s delivery date
Vehicle mileage
Selling BMW center’s name
Servicing BMW center’s name
Description of the problem
A BMW NA Customer Relations Representative
will carefully review all the facts involved and let
you know what further action will be taken in
conjunction with your BMW center. Please
remember: the first step in resolving a complaint
is to contact the authorized BMW center that performed the work on your vehicle. They have
the necessary equipment and the personnel to
achieve this goal.
We are confident that every effort will be made
to ensure your satisfaction.
Customer Assistance – Notification
During a specific period (for example, the earlier
of 12 months or 12,000 miles, though this
period varies by state), some states require us
or our authorized BMW 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 vehicle sold, leased or regis-
tered 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 vehicle is out of service by rea-
son of one or more repair(s) for more than a
cumulative 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 vehicle or reimburse the owner/les-
see 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
vehicle 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.

Lock-Out
Your BMW is equipped with an advanced entry
system, which cannot be bypassed by traditional
locksmith methods without significant damage
to your vehicle. BMW encourages you to always
carry your spare wallet key separately from your
other keys. However, in the event that you find
yourself locked out, a simple telephone call to
Roadside Assistance will help you get back on
the road. A representative will help you find
transportation or arrange towing service to the
nearest BMW center. Related towing costs will
be compensated up to $100 per incident. You,
or the person driving your vehicle, are responsi-
ble for any expenses related to replacement
keys.
Towing Service
In the event of a mechanical breakdown nor-
mally covered under the New Vehicle Limited
Warranty, your vehicle will be transported (at no
cost) to the nearest authorized BMW center.
Your vehicle is also covered in the event of an
accident or collision.
If a breakdown occurs after normal business
hours, your vehicle will be transported to a
secure location and transported to the nearest
authorized BMW center on the next business
day.
If you request that the vehicle be taken to a
location other than the nearest authorized BMW
center, any additional expense will be your
responsibility.
However, you may request (at no cost) to be
taken to a different BMW center as long as it is
within 50 additional miles of the “nearest” BMW
center.
Towing requests for vehicles disabled because
of casualty, fire, act of God, or violation of law
(federal, state or local) are provided at the
expense of the owner/driver. If it is necessary for you to have your vehicle
towed through your own arrangements,
you
must contact BMW Roadside Assistance for
prior authorization and instructions on claim
procedures. All claims must be submitted
within sixty (60) days of the disablement or
occurrence, 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” authorization, 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 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 automobile
together after the vehicle has been repaired by
an authorized BMW center. Original receipts
must accompany all reimbursement requests.
Trip interruption coverage is limited to $750.00
per incident, for a maximum of five days per
