Roadside Assistance service representative
will determine the type of help required.
Dispatch Service
A service provider will be dispatched to the
site of your disabled vehicle.
On-Site Assistance
On-site service for vehicle disablements such
as flat tires, dead batteries, and out of fuel
conditions 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
For security purposes, the driver will need to
prove ownership by presenting proper
documentation, i.e., a valid drivers license,
registration, etc. Lock-out service will be
provided up to a maximum of $100.00 per
incident.
Towing Service
In the event of a mechanical breakdown
normally covered under the New Vehicle
Limited Warranty, your vehicle will be trans-
ported (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 viola-
tion 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" authori-
zation, 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.

mechanical breakdowns as follows:
– Breakdowns that are warranty related,
