Service and Warranty Information

2013 1, 3, 5, 6 Series and Z4 vehicles purchased
from any authorized BMW center in the United
States or Puerto Rico are covered by the BMW
Maintenance Program for 48 months or
50,000 miles, whichever occurs first. Coverage
begins on the date of first retail sale or the date
the vehicle is first placed into service as a sales
demonstrator, Aftersales Mobility Program (AMP)
Vehicle or company vehicle, whichever is earlier.
Any authorized BMW center in the United States
or Puerto Rico will perform the scheduled
maintenance services on your vehicle at no
expense to you.
Coverage
The BMW Maintenance Program covers all factory
recommended maintenance, as determined by the
Condition Based Service (CBS) system. Additional
specific items that need replacement due to
normal wear and tear, and that are not covered by
the original New Vehicle Limited Warranty - such
as brake pads, brake rotors, and wiper blade
inserts - are included, provided wear and tear
exceeds BMW wear limits. Any applicable
adjustments required due to normal operating
conditions are also included. See pages 10-11 of
this booklet for additional information.

Limited Warranty

conjunction with scheduled maintenance)
䉯 Parking brake shoes/linings
䉯
Tires, wheel alignment, tire balance and rotation
䉯 Reset Tire Pressure Monitor
䉯 Wear and tear of soft trim items, such as:
seats, carpets, moldings, headliner, door
panels and all chrome trim
䉯 Damage, including consequential, which
results from negligence, improper operation of
the vehicle, wear and tear or deterioration due
to driving habits or conditions, improper repair,
environmental influences, flood, accident or
fire damage, road salt corrosion, alteration,

or use of improper, poor quality or
contaminated fuel

work (as outlined in the customized
maintenance checklist printout) that is

Program period
䉯 Vehicles used in competitive events
䉯 Oil changes performed outside the
recommended maintenance intervals as

Maintenance Upgrade Option
Please contact your authorized BMW center for
information and availability on the optional
Maintenance Program Upgrade for coverage up to
6 years or 100,000 miles, whichever occurs first.
Eligibility and coverage exclusions may apply.
Intervals
Time intervals should be followed using the
maintenance intervals as indicated by the BMW
Condition Based Service.
Maintenance intervals on motor vehicles have
conventionally been specified based upon
accumulated mileage. However, driving
conditions have a major influence on routine
maintenance requirements; distance traveled is
only one of the significant factors. A vehicle
driven for 50,000 miles of short trips in the city
with numerous cold starts, prolonged periods of
idling, stop-and-go driving, and high engine
speeds during acceleration requires more
frequent maintenance intervals than a vehicle
driven for 50,000 miles for long distances at low
engine speeds primarily at operating
temperature.
