The Roadside Assistance of the BMW
Group offers you assistance in the
event of a breakdown around the clock,
also at weekends and on public holi-
days.

The phone numbers of the Roadside
Assistance control center in your home
country can be found in the BMW
Dealer Directory.

In the case of vehicles with the corre-
sponding equipment, you can use
buttons in the headlining to contact
Roadside Assistance or initiate an
emergency call.

When the emergency call is initiated, a
telephone connection is established to
the BMW Assist response center.

If the current location of your vehicle
can be determined with vehicles with
an activated BMW Assist, it will be
transmitted to the BMW Assist
response center.

gency call or contacting Roadside
Assistance:
