Your satisfaction with our product and the
services provided by authorized BMW SAV
centers is of great importance to us. We take
pride in our product, as does the BMW SAV
center who services it. If you should ever have a
question regarding your BMW SAV center’s

service or your BMW’s performance, we

recommend that you contact your authorized

BMW SAV center. Should you travel to an

unfamiliar area, the BMW center directory

locate the nearest authorized BMW SAV center.

The centers listed are equipped to help you with

matters related to your BMW vehicle.

When contacting an authorized BMW SAV

center, we suggest that depending upon the

nature of your contact, you discuss it with either

the Sales, Service, or Parts Manager.

As all matters are resolved at the BMW SAV

center level, it is important that they be given the

opportunity to provide a solution. Should you feel

that you were not provided with the proper

response, we urge you to contact the General

Manager or BMW Center Operator.

Despite the best intentions of all parties, a

misunderstanding may occur between you and

your BMW SAV center. Should this occur and you

require further assistance, please contact the

BMW NA Customer Relations and Service

Department at 1 800 831-1117 or through our

be taken in conjunction with your BMW SAV

center. Please remember: the first step in

resolving a complaint is to contact the authorized

BMW SAV center that performed the work on

Customer Assistance – Notification

During a specific period (the earlier of 12 months

or 12,000 miles, though this period varies by

state), some states require us or our authorized

BMW SAV center, to repair in a reasonable

number of attempts, any defect or condition

which substantially impairs the use, value, or

safety of a new SAV sold, leased or registered in

that state.

A “reasonable number of attempts” is generally

defined as (i) four or more attempts to repair the

same defect (the number of attempts vary by

state) or (ii) the SAV is out of service by reason of

one or more repair(s) for more than a cumulative

total of 30 days (this period varies by state),

except for delays created by conditions beyond

our control.

If we are unable to correct a defect or condition

covered by these statutes in a reasonable

number of attempts, we may be obligated either

to replace the SAV or reimburse the owner/

lessee in an amount equal to the purchase price

or lease payments paid by the owner/lessee, less

the amount directly attributable to use of the SAV

by the owner/lessee.

You should send written notification directly

to BMW of North America, LLC of the

existence of an alleged defect. Send written

communication to the Customer Relations

and Services Department address listed

below.
