BMW Assist*
BMW Assist*
BMW Assist provides a number of different services.
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 individually
agreed contract.
After your contract has expired, the BMW
Assist system will be deactivated by the BMW
Assist Response Center without you having to
visit a BMW Sports Activity Vehicle Center.
After the BMW Assist system has been deactivated,
no BMW Assist service will be available.
The BMW Assist system can be reactivated by
a BMW Sports Activity Vehicle Center after a
new contract has been signed.
