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 Z4 M Coupe and Roadster models pur-
chased from any authorized BMW center in the
United States or Puerto Rico are 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 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.

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 Vehicle Limited Warranty - such as brake
pads, brake rotors, and wiper blade inserts - are
included, provided wear and tear exceeds BMW

On-Site Assistance
On-site service for vehicle disablements such as
flat tires, dead batteries, and out of fuel condi-
tions is provided up to a maximum of $100.00
per incident by BMW Roadside Assistance.
The cost for parts and fuel, when used on-site,
are the responsibility of the owner/driver. The
New Vehicle Limited Warranty does not cover
any of the above on-site services.
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

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
