THE BMW SUBSCRIPTION VEHICLE RETURN.

When you cancel your BMW subscription, you return your vehicle on the cancellation date. When you return the vehicle, it will be properly inspected together for signs of use. It is clear that the vehicle is no longer new, but used. Therefore, we want to determine from the outset what constitutes damage or minor signs of use, and what is simply normal wear and tear. This means that it is not important for you and you do not have to worry.

Normal signs of wear and tear that occur within the scope of normal use and mileage are OK. Excluded are traces or damage caused, for example, by improper use or above-average stress. In the table below we have noted for you what are normal signs of use and what are not OK.
