When it comes to cost of ownership, BMW owners are in an enviable position. Because when you buy a 2013 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, BMW owners will not. After all, a vehicle this extraordinary deserves a service plan to match.
To illustrate the maintenance cost savings versus the competition, refer to the data below, as provided by Edmunds.com for the competitive vehicles:
2011 Infiniti M37
$1,060**
2011 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class
$2,052**
2011 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
$2,248**
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.
