When it comes to cost of ownership, BMW owners are in an enviable position. Because when you buy a 2009 BMW, you'll pay absolutely nothing for the industry's most comprehensive suite of premium vehicle services, including maintenance, for the first 4 years or 50,000 miles, whichever occurs first.
While other vehicle owners may pay hundreds of dollars out of their pockets – in some cases, over a thousand dollars – during the first 4 years of ownership for typical maintenance repairs, BMW owners will not. No other company provides such comprehensive benefits at absolutely no cost.
To illustrate the true cost of ownership** versus the competition, refer to the data below, as provided by Edmunds.com:
2009 Jaguar XJ-Series
$1,520
2009 Mercedes-Benz S-Class
$1,746
All BMW owners with eligible vehicles enjoy the following no cost benefits:
- New Vehicle Limited Warranty: your warranty covers defects in materials or workmanship for the first four years or 50,000 miles, whichever comes first, so you can rest assured your BMW will perform as expected.
- BMW Maintenance Program: One of the most comprehensive maintenance programs in its class, covering all factory-recommended maintenance services during the New Vehicle/SAV Limited Warranty Coverage Period, as well as specific items that require replacement due to normal wear and tear - such as brake pads, brake discs and wiper blade inserts.
- Unlimited-Mileage Roadside Assistance: receive Roadside Assistance 24 hours a day, 365 days a year for the first four years of ownership, without any mileage limitation.
If you select the Premium Package or opt for the BMW Assist™ and Bluetooth® system, BMW Ultimate Service also includes a four-year, unlimited mileage subscription to the BMW Assist Safety Plan™, at no additional charge. Among the features is TeleService, a benefit exclusive to BMW, which allows your vehicle to contact your BMW center directly when it needs service or maintenance.
