BMW Assist*
BMW Assist provides you with various services.
For example, the position data of your vehicle
can be transmitted to the BMW Assist
Response Center if an emergency request* has
been initiated.
Response Center contacts you and takes
further steps to help you.

Automatic collision notification:
Under certain conditions, a connection is
established to the BMW Assist Response
Center immediately after a serious acci-
dent. If possible, the BMW Assist Response
Center contacts you and takes further steps

Many BMW Assist services depend on the indi-

vice will be available. The BMW Assist system
can be reactivated by a BMW center after sign-
ing a new contract.
