BMW Assist
BMW Assist*
BMW Assist provides a number of different ser-
vices. For example, the position data of the
vehicle can be transmitted to the BMW Assist
Response Center when an Emergency
Request
* is sent.
Many BMW Assist services depend on the con-
tract individually agreed upon.
After your contract has expired, the BMW
Assist system will be deactivated by the BMW
Assist Response Center without your having to
visit a BMW center. After the BMW Assist sys-
tem has been deactivated, no BMW Assist ser-
vices will be available. The BMW Assist system
can be reactivated by a BMW center after a new
contract has been signed.
