24 From the information you provide, the BMW
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 SAV 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 docu-
mentation, i.e., a valid drivers license, registra-
tion, 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 SAV Limited
Warranty, your SAV will be transported (at no
cost) to the nearest authorized BMW SAV center.
Your SAV is also covered in the event of an
accident or collision.
If a breakdown occurs after normal business
hours, your SAV will be transported to a
secure location and transported to the
nearest authorized BMW SAV center on the
next business day.If you request that the SAV be taken to a
location other than the nearest authorized BMW
SAV center, any additional expense will be your
responsibility.
However, you may request (at no cost) to be taken
to a different BMW SAV center as long as it is
within 50 additional miles of the "nearest" BMW
SAV center.
Towing requests for SAV 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 SAV 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.
Auto Valet Service
Should there be a need beyond BMW
Roadside Assistance, Auto Valet will provide a
personal assistant who will help in every way
to get you to your final destination. Auto Valet
Services

25 will help you locate a rental car or taxi agency,
hotel or even help procure airline reservations.

will document the information, and will make
reasonable efforts to deliver the message to
the message recipient.

tives a call, and we’ll provide you with detailed,
