response, we urge you to contact the General
Manager or BMW Center Operator.

Despite the best intentions of all parties, a
misunderstanding may occur between you

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
Information

22

During a specific period (usually 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 reasonable number of attempts,
any defect or condition which substantially
impairs the use, value, or safety of a new
vehicle sold, leased or registered in that
state.

A “reasonable number of attempts” is gener-
ally defined as (i) two or more attempts to
repair the same defect (the number of attempts
may vary by state) or (ii) that the same defect
has caused the vehicle to be out of service by
reason of repair for more than 30 days (this
period may vary 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
number of attempts, we may be obligated
either to replace the vehicle 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 vehicle by the owner/
lessee.

YOU SHOULD SEND WRITTEN NOTIFICA-
TION DIRECTLY TO BMW OF NORTH
AMERICA  OF THE EXISTENCE OF AN
ALLEGED DEFECT.  SEND WRITTEN
COMMUNICATION TO THE NATIONAL
CUSTOMER RELATIONS DEPARTMENT
ADDRESS LISTED BELOW.

BBB Auto Line

If your concern is still not resolved to your
satisfaction, BMW offers additional assistance
through BBB AUTO LINE in ARKANSAS,
CALIFORNIA, IDAHO, IOWA, GEORGIA,
MINNESOTA and PENNSYLVANIA.  BBB
AUTO LINE is a dispute resolution program
administered by the Council of Better Business
Bureaus.  BBB AUTO LINE resolves disputes
through mediation or arbitration.  Mediation is
an informal proceeding whereby a neutral
third party (mediator) helps the parties to
find an acceptable resolution.  Arbitration is
also an informal proceeding in which an
impartial third party renders a decision after
a hearing at which both parties have an
opportunity to be heard. You can select
mediation or arbitration or both.

The program is free of charge to you, the
consumer but there are some minimum
requirements for participation in the program.
Please contact BBB AUTO LINE at the address
or phone number listed below for more details:

BBB AUTO LINE
4200 Wilson Boulevard, Suite 800
Arlington, VA 22203
1 (800) 955-5100

If you wish to use the program and you qualify
for participation, you will be required to provide
the following information:

Your name and address

The vehicle identification number (VIN)

The make, model and year of your vehicle

A description of the problem with your
vehicle.

BBB AUTO LINE will also ask you for other
information that may help resolve your
concerns, such as the purchase price of your
vehicle, any mileage at the time of purchase,
the current mileage, and copies of repair
orders.

BBB AUTO LINE will notify you when your
claim has been filed.  If you decide to arbitrate
you may attend the hearing in person or by
telephone.  You may bring witnesses and give
supporting evidence.  You may also submit

your claim in writing and ask for a decision
on the documents you submit, without
attending a hearing.  BBB AUTO LINE will
usually render a decision within 40 days
from the time you file your complaint.  The
decision is binding on BMW if you decide to
accept it.  BMW must comply with the
decision within the time frame specified by
the arbitrator.

Important:

  You must use BBB AUTO LINE

before asserting in court any rights or
remedies created by the Magnuson Moss
Warranty Act, (“The Act”) 15 U.S.C.  Sec.
2301, et seq.  You may also be required to
use BBB AUTO LINE before seeking
remedies under your state’s “Lemon Law”.  If
you choose to seek redress by pursuing
rights and remedies not created by Title 1 of
Magnuson Moss Warranty Act, prior resort to
the BBB AUTO LINE is not required by any
provision of the Act.

requires that, if BMW or its representative is

warranty after a reasonable number of
attempts, BMW may be required to replace or

cable 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:

24

• The same nonconformity [a failure to

conform to the written warranty that
substantially 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 or its agents
AND the buyer or lessee has directly
notified BMW of the need for the repair of
the nonconformity; OR

to repair 4 or more times by BMW or its
agents AND the buyer has notified BMW of
the need for the repair of the nonconformity;
OR

• The vehicle is out of service by reason of

repair of nonconformities by BMW or its
agents for a cumulative total of more than
30 calendar days after delivery of the
vehicle to the buyer.

tion, etc.  Lock-out service will be provided up to

In the event of a mechanical breakdown
normally covered under the New Vehicle Limited

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 accepted 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 not be honored 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 situations is $100.00.

Sign-and-Drive

In most instances, services provided under the
BMW Roadside Assistance Program do not
require immediate payment.

Usually, you will be able to sign a receipt, so the
provider of the service can be reimbursed
directly by BMW Roadside Assistance.

Parts, materials and fuel should be paid by you
directly to the provider of the services.
