The Roadside Assistance of the BMW Group

tance control center in your home country can

liner to contact Roadside Assistance or initiate 
an emergency request.
When the emergency request is initiated, a

rent position of your vehicle can be determined, 
it will be transmitted to the BMW Assist 
Response Center.
