Help when you need it most - supporting you in an emergency, guiding you in unfamiliar territory and enabling you to avoid traffic jams: BMW Assist provides reliable help in every situation, bringing you safely and quickly to your destination.
Since it was first launched in 1999, the ground-breaking telematic service BMW Assist has provided convenient information and helpful services for BMW drivers when they need it most. In connection with the BMW Navigation system plus the BMW preparation for Bluetooth mobile phone with integrated SIM card, BMW Assist brings you a range of useful features.
The emergency call feature, for example, automatically transmits your vehicle's status and position data directly to the BMW Service headquarters and makes a telephone connection. The system sends an automatic signal to BMW Service immediately if the crash sensors in the airbags are activated.
In the event of a breakdown, BMW Assist activates the BMW breakdown service, connecting to Mobile Service and transmitting the relevant vehicle data. Your BMW Service partner will be by your side as quickly as possible, helping you get back onto the road.
Should you be driving on the German Autobahn network, BMW Assist also provides reliable and up-to-the-minute traffic information, thanks to a system of more than 4,000 sensors positioned along the motorways, that measure traffic congestion and transmit the results in real time.
A further feature of BMW Assist is the BMW information service, which provides up-to-date information directly in your vehicle: addresses and telephone numbers, recommendations for hotels, restaurants and places of interest. Opening times and entrance fees for museums plus current cinema and theatre programmes can also be called up quickly and conveniently on the on-board monitor with TV.
