The BMW Maintenance Program -
2006 X3 3.0i
The BMW Maintenance Program is a benefit
designed to help reduce the cost of scheduled
and unscheduled maintenance.
Every 2006 X3 purchased from an authorized
BMW SAV center in the United States or Puerto
Rico is covered by The BMW Maintenance Pro-
gram 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 SAV center in the United
States or Puerto Rico will perform the scheduled
or additional maintenance services on your vehi-
cle at no expense to you. The maintenance
schedule intervals are based on normal driving
conditions and operation. Should you request
more frequent maintenance service, the cost of
these services will not be covered by the Mainte-
nance Program.
Coverage
The BMW Maintenance Program covers all
factory-recommended maintenance, as deter-
mined by the Service Interval Indicator. Additional
items that need replacement due to normal wear
and tear, and that are not covered by the original
New SAV Limited Warranty - such as brake pads,
brake rotors and wiper blade inserts - are
included, provided wear and tear exceeds BMW
specifications. Any adjustments required due to
normal operating conditions are also included.
See pages 5-8 of this booklet for additional infor-
mation.
Maintenance Intervals
Time intervals should be followed using the
maintenance interval as indicated by the BMW
Service Interval Indicator lights on the check con-
trol panel in the dashboard.
