At Sterling BMW, we are committed to supporting our community during challenging times. In response to the recent wildfires in Southern California, we are proud to offer a disaster relief program to help those affected rebuild and move forward.
Through the remainder of January, eligible customers who have suffered the loss of a home or vehicle can take advantage of a $1,000 OL Code relief offer, with $500 contributed by BMW of North America and $500 by Sterling BMW. This program is available on all new 2024 and 2025 BMW models, providing flexibility and support when it’s needed most.
In addition, BMW Financial Services is offering a special 90 Days to First Payment program for new BMW retail installment contracts, exclusively for those impacted by the California wildfires. This initiative allows customers more time to get back on their feet while still enjoying the ultimate driving experience.
Our team is here to assist you every step of the way. Please contact us today to learn more about these programs and take the first step toward recovery with Sterling BMW.
