BMW Assist
BMW Assist offers you various services; for
example, the position data of your vehicle can
be transmitted to the BMW Assist Response
Center if an emergency call
*
has been initiated.
Many functions of BMW Assist depend on the
individually agreed contract.
After your contract has expired, the BMW
Assist system can be deactivated by the BMW
Assist Response Center without you having to
visit a BMW center. After the BMW Assist sys-
tem has been deactivated, no BMW Assist ser-
vice will be available. The BMW Assist system
can be reactivated by a BMW center after a new
contract has been signed.
