York, PA -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/04/2012 -- BMW Financial Services has taken the next step in offering its Ultimate Lease customer a smoother, less-stressful lease-end experience – and overall simpler leasing experience – with the introduction of its BMW Lease Protection Program. The BMW Lease Protection Program is available at all BMW locations, including Apple BMW of York in Pennsylvania.

“Our new BMW Lease Protection product , which some might refer to as extended-wear-and-tear coverage, virtually eliminates the potential out-of-pocket costs of common repairs at lease-end , thus making the leasing experience that much more pleasurable,” explained Lisa McPherson, BMW Financial Services general manager of insurance. “This is our latest program to make leasing a BMW (or a MINI) a pleasurable experience and minimizing issues surrounding wear and tear, tire and wheel problems and minor dings and dents which may become apparent when the vehicle is returned at the end of the lease.”

The BMW Lease Protection Program must be purchased at the time of new-vehicle delivery and covers up to $3,750 in billed excess wear and tear. Some of the items covered in this new program include dents and dings, tires, wheels, glass, carpets, convertible tops, mirrors and mirror covers, headlamps, bumpers, and missing parts up to $300 per occurrence.

The process for determining excess wear and use occurs at the lease-end inspection, generally performed at the BMW Center. There an inspector reviews the vehicle, noting if there are any items in need of attention. If so, the information is presented to the customer (who will receive a comprehensive lease-end inspection report) and the claim is submitted to BMW Financial Services directly by the dealer – the customer does not have to do anything.

For more information on the new BMW lease offer please contact Apple BMW of York at 717-845-6689 or visit their Service Department page online at www.applebmwofyork.com.
