Manufacturer’s Warranty

Defects in workmanship and materials are covered for 4 years or 50,000 miles from the original owner’s retail delivery date.

BMW Full Maintenance

Maintenance is one of many hidden costs to consider when you’re looking at a car’s sticker price. For most cars, that is. Fortunately, BMW offers one of the most comprehensive maintenance programs in its class. Not that service is needed often, only every 15,000 miles or so. Just about anything your BMW might need replaced or serviced — brake pads, wiper blades, oil change, checkup — is fully covered for 4 years or 50,000 miles, whichever comes first.* Which will save you money and simplify your operating instructions considerably: Fill with gas. Point to horizon. Go.
