Bayerische Motoren Werke Aktiengesellschaft, BMW of North America LLC, and BMW US Capital LLC
BMW's US financing arm settled an SEC fair fund case tied to private-placement debt securities sold between 2016 and 2020. If you bought those bonds, you may be owed money from the fund.
Each claimant's recovery is determined by their Interest Amount, divided by the Aggregate Interest Amount, multiplied by the Net Available Fair Fund. Minimum distribution threshold is $250.
Your share is based on the interest amount tied to your securities relative to all eligible claimants' combined interest. The minimum payout threshold is $250 — claims below that aren't distributed.

How to file this claim
- Check whether you submitted a claim at www.BMWFairFund.com before May 10, 2024, 11:59 P.M. PT — that was the hard cutoff.
- If you filed, contact KCC Class Action Services by email at [email protected] or by phone at 1-844-460-0580 to confirm your claim was received and is in process.
- If you never filed and believe you qualify, contact KCC immediately to ask whether any late-claim exception exists — the plan was approved November 22, 2023 and the bar date has passed, but the administrator can tell you the current status.
- Your payout (if approved) is calculated from your Interest Amount as a share of the total Interest Amount across all valid claims, applied to the Net Available Fair Fund — any result under $250 is ineligible for distribution.
Watch out for
- The claims deadline was May 10, 2024, 11:59 P.M. PT — it has already passed. Do not assume a claim filed after that date will be honored without explicit confirmation from the administrator.
- The minimum distribution threshold is $250 — if your calculated share falls below that amount, you will receive nothing regardless of your eligibility.
- This is an SEC enforcement action Fair Fund, not a typical class-action settlement; the process and administrator are different from most consumer settlements.
- Only purchasers of BMW US Capital, LLC debt securities in private placement transactions are covered — public market bond buyers are not in this class.
We prepare — you file on the official site yourself. This is not legal advice and is not an eligibility decision; the administrator and court decide.
