I believe in 2002, BMWs were covered with a 4 year warranty, but only 3 years free maintenance. Joe

This is a question.

I have a 2002 325ci (service date 12/15/01) and was able to get inspection 1 completed just before the maintenance expired (12/15/04). At that time, I still had a year left on the manufacturers warranty (12/15/05). Sometime between the

Must have been 2003 as my Z4 (built in Jan. 2003) has the 4 year maintenance.

Ditto - both my cars don't expire until late 2007 (Sept for the Z4, November for the 325i). Thing is, I only cover about 5k miles a year in each since I split driving between them - that spreads out the service intervals quite a bit. I may never get to use the free maintenance at this rate. epbrown

I have a similar "problem" with a daily driver 328i, the Z4 and a BMW motorcycle. Buried in the fine print in the manual should be a statement about yearly oil changes & I believe the dealers will provide it as part of the covered maintenance. Maybe you could negotiate a price discount on your next new BMW on this basis!

Thanks everybody for the answers - I am out of luck here, in 2002 BMW had 3 year 36000 miles free maintenance policy. Confirmed at BMW USA customer relations.
