BMW Assist
BMW Assist provides you with various services.
For example, the position data of your vehicle
can be transferred to the BMW Assist
Response Center if an emergency request

has
been initiated.
Many BMW Assist services depend on the indi-

vated, no BMW Assist service will be available.
The BMW Assist system can be reactivated by
a BMW Sports Activity Vehicle Center after
signing a new contract.
