The BMW Maintenance Program is a U.S. specific program. It applies to eligible U.S. specification BMW vehicles purchased in the U.S. or through the BMW NA's Military Sales Program, and is valid only when repairs are performed at an authorized U.S. BMW center (including Puerto Rico), subject to all applicable exclusions or limitations.
The BMW Maintenance Program has two categories:
- Standard Maintenance, as described below, is available on new BMW vehicles for the first 4 years or 50,000 miles from the original in-service date, whichever comes first.
- The Upgraded Maintenance option extends the Standard Maintenance period, when purchased, by an additional 2 years/50,000 miles to 6 years or 100,000 miles from the original in-service date, whichever comes first.
The Maintenance Program Upgrade, when purchased on or after July 1, 2009, also extends the standard 48 months/unlimited mileage BMW Roadside Assistance Program benefit time period to 72 months/unlimited mileage on eligible BMW vehicles.
