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"

tion of law (federal, state or local) are

you
must contact BMW Roadside Assistance

claim procedures.

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" authori-
zation, the maximum coverage for towing
situations is $100.00.
