Featuring the following services, BMW Ultimate Service™ lives up to its name:

  • BMW Maintenance Program: One of the most comprehensive maintenance programs in its class covering all factory-recommended maintenance, oil service and fluid service, as well as items that need replacement due to normal wear and tear - such as brake pads, brake rotors and wiper blade inserts.
  • Four years of the BMW Assist™ Safety Plan: Many 2007 and later models include a four-year, unlimited mileage subscription to the BMW Assist™ Safety Plan including TeleService, an exclusive BMW benefit which allows your vehicle to contact your BMW center directly when it needs service or maintenance.
  • 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.
  • 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.

         No other premium automaker provides such comprehensive benefits for absolutely no cost. So while other car owners will incur from several hundred to over one thousand dollars of maintenance or repair costs during the first 4 years they own their vehicles, you pay nothing for the first 4 years or 50,000 miles. After all, an Ultimate Driving Machine® - and its driver - deserve nothing less than BMW Ultimate Service™.

New Vehicle Limited Warranty


      Every new BMW purchased from BMW of North America, or sold through the BMW of North America European Delivery program, includes a limited warranty against defects in materials or workmanship for four years or 50,000 miles, whichever comes first.

       The warranty period begins either on the date of first retail sale, or the date the vehicle is placed in service as a demonstrator or company vehicle, whichever is earlier. And from that moment on, that BMW is covered for four years or 50,000 miles, whichever occurs first, regardless if it's with its first owner or a subsequent owner.

Rust protection for 2006 and newer models.
      For 2006 and newer models, we also provide a 12-year limited warranty, without mileage limitation, for defects in materials or workmanship that may result in rust perforation of the vehicle body. This coverage begins on the date of the first retail sale or the date the vehicle is first placed in service as a demonstrator or company vehicle, whichever is earlier.

Original owners can also extend their contracts.
If you're the original owner of your BMW, you can extend your service contract for up to 6 years or 100,000 miles for coverage of mechanical breakdowns.

    If your BMW requires service that is covered under warranty, simply schedule an appointment with an authorized BMW center where a specially trained, BMW certified technician will make the repairs using original BMW parts. This will guarantee that your vehicle will be repaired to meet our specifications and you can be confident that your BMW will be just as thrilling to drive after a repair, as it was before.

For complete information on coverage and limitations, see BMW of Schererville or refer to your Owner's Manual.
 

Maintenance

      For most luxury cars, maintenance is a hidden cost to consider. And when you compare maintenance programs, it's clear they're not   all the same.

      In fact, the BMW Maintenance Program* is one of the most comprehensive programs in its class and it offers the longest coverage period.

      We cover all factory-recommended maintenance at no charge for four years or 50,000 miles, whichever comes first, as well as items that need replacement due to regular wear and tear.

Your maintenance costs:
 

  • Scheduled inspections: $0
     
  • Brake Pads: $0
     
  • Brake Rotors: $0
     
  • Engine Belts: $0
     
  • Oil Changes: $0
     
  • Wiper Blade Inserts: $0
     
  • Inspections: $0
     
  • Fluid Services: $0 

      By offering such a comprehensive maintenance program with every new vehicle, we're able to help you manage the cost of ownership and keep maintenance costs down.

      And since all services are done at an authorized BMW center, by a BMW certified technician who has been specially trained by us, we can guarantee that only original BMW parts will be used. In other words, your BMW will be maintained by our standards, which are, admittedly, higher than most.

     To receive these services at no cost, just schedule an appointment at your BMW center while your vehicle is covered by the program. Items replaced due to wear and tear must be worn down past factory-recommended standards.

For even more value, extend your plan for another 2 years or 50,000 miles.
    
When you purchase your BMW you can choose to upgrade your BMW Maintenance Plan for an additional 2 years or 50,000 miles, whichever comes first. This phase begins after the initial four year or 50,000 mile plan expires and it offers the same benefits and ownership value.

Footnote
* The BMW Maintenance Program covers all factory-recommended maintenance on all model year 2006 vehicles and newer vehicles, as determined by the Service Level Indicator, for four years or 50,000 miles, whichever comes first. Exclusions from coverage: gasoline, gasoline additives, windshield washer additives, tires, wheels, wheel alignment, tire balancing and rotation. All work must be performed by an authorized BMW center. See the Service and Warranty Information booklet for more details and exclusions.

Coverage begins once the BMW New Vehicle Limited Warranty has expired.

  • Covered repairs are performed at an authorized North American BMW center.

     
  • Only Original BMW Parts are used for covered repairs.

     
  • You have 24-hour BMW Roadside Assistance, in the unlikely event of a breakdown.

The BMW Maintenance Program Upgrade

     When you invest in a BMW, you can drive confidently knowing your vehicle includes the BMW Maintenance Program, covering all factory-recommended maintenance and specific items needing replacement due to normal wear at no charge for the first 4 years/50,000 miles, whichever comes first.

BMW Assist Safety and Convenience Plan

     Imagine a travel companion who knows the directions, traffic and weather and can pick out the best destination, whether a fine restaurant, four-star hotel, or well-hidden tourist attraction. That companion can be with you all the time—at just the touch of your Concierge button in your BMW. The address and phone number can even be sent to most BMWs, then transferred to your BMW navigation system or Bluetooth® phone for route guidance or to make the call. We can tell you the airline gate and arrival or departure time, as well as the best fuel prices and availability. These services, and more, are available when you enroll in the optional BMW Assist Convenience Plan.

      It’s the ideal complement to your BMW Assist Safety Plan, which comes with most new models for four years at no additional cost, as part of BMW Ultimate Service. When you combine the BMW Assist Safety Plan with the Convenience Plan, you enjoy peace of mind whenever you’re behind the wheel.

Your new services will include:

  • Directions to a street address or point of interest.

     
  • Traffic information along your route or around your BMW.

     
  • Weather conditions and forecasts locally, at your destination or any other place.
