In the event of a breakdown where on-site assistance would not result in restored mobility, or in the event of a damaged/flat tire or accident your motorcycle will be transported by a qualified motorcycle tower (at no cost) to the nearest authorized BMW Motorrad Retailer. However, you may request (at additional no cost) to be taken to your preferred authorized BMW Motorrad Retailer as long as it is within 80 kilometers or less of the “nearest” authorized BMW Motorrad Retailer. Any additional charge to go beyond these distance limits will be your responsibility. Towing requests for motorcycles or scooters disabled because of casualty, fire, Act of God, or violation of law (federal, provincial, or local) will be at the sole expense of the owner/rider.

Claim reimbursement must be directed to the roadside assistance provider. Further details can be found in your BMW Motorrad Warranty booklet. All claims must be submitted within thirty (30) days of the disablement or occurrence and accompanied by the original receipts and qualified repair order from an authorized BMW Motorrad Retailer. Claims received after that time period may not be honored and are subject to the full discretion of BMW Motorrad Roadside Assistance.
If a mechanical breakdown occurs after normal business hours and is transported to a BMW Motorrad Retailer that does not have an after-hours drop process, your motorcycle or scooter will be taken to a secure storage location over-night and delivered to the selected BMW Motorrad Retailer on the next business day. Storage fees incurred if towing is for tire or accident related incidents will be at the sole expense of the owner/rider.
If towing is required onward mobility utilizing ride share services (e.g. Lyft/Uber, etc.) may be requested from the Roadside Assistance Specialist to pick up a rider (and pillion passenger) from the disablement point to travel back home, hotel, work, school, BMW Motorrad Retailer, etc. A maximum trip distance of 80 kilometers is allowed and covered under the program.
