For on-the-road assistance, as well as help planning the trip.

The BMW Assist Safety Plan is included for four years in all model year 2007 and later BMWs equipped with the BMW Assist and Bluetooth® system – a value that’s unmatched in the automotive industry. The system is standard on every X5 M, X6 M, M5, M6, 5, 6 and 7 Series, and is included with the popular Premium Package or available as an option on all other BMW models.

Automatic Collision Notification
In the event of a severe accident, your BMW Assist system will automatically transmit your vehicle’s location and crash information to a response specialist, who will then speak to you to determine if you are alright. A second response specialist will request dispatch of emergency services to your location.

Emergency Request

In an emergency, just push the SOS button to transmit your location and vehicle information. A response specialist will speak with you to determine your needs. For example, you can request police, fire or medical assistance, or get directions to the nearest police station or hospital.

Enhanced Roadside Assistance

Need a tow? Out of gas? A touch of the “Roadside Assistance” menu option or Wrench button connects you with our response center. Your BMW also transmits your location, so we can quickly and accurately dispatch help.

Stolen Vehicle Recovery

If your BMW is ever stolen, call BMW Assist toll-free at 1-888-333-6118 immediately after filing your police report. We then help the police locate your vehicle. Your insurance provider may discount your premium due to this service.

Door Unlock
This helpful feature allows you to gain access to your BMW if you’re ever locked out. Simply call BMW Assist toll-free at 1-888-333-6118, provide your name and password, and a response specialist will send a signal to your vehicle to unlock the driver’s door.

Customer Relations
Have a question or concern? Your system can put you in contact with our helpful Customer Relations staff at the touch of the SOS button or the “Customer Relations” menu option.

TeleService
With TeleService, your vehicle’s operating status and upcoming service needs are transmitted to your BMW center automatically, or manually with a push of the “Service Request” menu option in your radio or iDrive display. A BMW service advisor then calls you to schedule a convenient service appointment. This feature allows your Service department to have needed parts ready, saving you time. It also reduces the chance of a breakdown later – adding to your peace of mind.

Critical Calling
Perhaps you forgot your mobile phone, or its battery is discharged – and you urgently need to speak to a family member or colleague. Don’t worry. Critical Calling allows you to make up to four operatorassisted calls per year. Simply push our SOS button to speak with a BMW Assist response specialist, who will then connect you to your requested party for up to five minutes per call.

Concierge
Want to know the best gas price in your area? A flight arrival gate or time? The best French restaurant, or perhaps a four-star hotel? Select “Concierge” on your radio or iDrive menu option and talk to a friendly representative who can even send the address and phone number of your desired destination to your Navigation system, if so equipped, and Bluetooth linked phone.
