Default X5 free maintenance

I just bought 3.5y old 2002 X5 with 43500 miles on it. I checked that
is is covered by warranty till July 2006. How about free
maintenance/inspections 1 or 2/oil change? Does it have that too?

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

This is a question. http://www.bmwusa.com/Vehicles/X5/30i/Warranty.htm
(Full maintenance link) tells about 4y/50000miles full maintenance. Is
that for the new models or all X5s? I am not able to find any info on
2002 models maintenance at the official site. I guess I'll just call
customer care at BMW and ask about that on Monday.

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
2002 models and now, they changed to 4yr maintenance
coverage. Unless it's different for the X5s, I think your out
of luck.

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.

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.
