Receiving assistance

The BMW Group's Mobile Service
offers you 24-hour assistance in the
event of a breakdown, even on week-
ends and holidays.

The telephone numbers of the Mobile
Service control center in your country
are listed in the BMW Dealer Directory.

If your vehicle has the necessary equip-
ment, you can contact the Mobile Ser-
vice or issue an emergency call using
buttons in the interior rearview mirror.

When an emergency call is initiated, a
telephone connection is established
with the general emergency call center.

In vehicles with activated BMW Assist
function, a telephone connection is set
up to the BMW Assist emergency call
center. If the current location of your
vehicle can be determined, this location
is transmitted to the BMW Assist emer-
gency call center.

Initiating an emergency call*

ditions.

emergency call is automatically initiated
