BMW Full Maintenance
Programs - 2005 Models
BMW Full Maintenance Programs are a benefit
designed to help reduce the cost of scheduled
and unscheduled maintenance.
2005 3 Series vehicles (except M3)
purchased from any Authorized BMW center
in the United States or Puerto Rico are
covered by Full Maintenance 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 in service as a
demonstrator 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
maintenance schedule intervals are based on

Should you request more frequent mainte-
nance service, the cost of these services
will not be covered by the Maintenance
Program.

mended maintenance, as determined by the

ments required due to normal operating
