BMW Assist
BMW Assist provides you with various services. 
For example, the position data of your vehicle 
can be transferred to the BMW Assist 
Response Center if an emergency request
*
 has 
been initiated.
Many BMW Assist services depend on the indi-
vidually agreed contract.
After your contract has expired, the BMW

Assist Response Center without you having to 
visit a BMW Sports Activity Vehicle Center. 
After the BMW Assist system has been deacti-
vated, no BMW Assist service will be available. 
The BMW Assist system can be reactivated by 
a BMW Sports Activity Vehicle Center after 
signing a new contract.
