BMW Assist.

BMW Assist turns your BMW into your personal travel manager. Its automatic emergency and breakdown assistance with vehicle location feature increases passenger safety. En route, current traffic conditions are monitored and an alternative route is recommended if congestion threatens. BMW Assist also provides useful information, for example, about hotels and restaurants, and addresses can be transferred directly to the navigation system.

From available parking spaces to the address of the nearest chemist or cinema, BMW Online provides invaluable assistance throughout your journey. With its address book, e-mail and information applications, BMW Online enables you to transform your BMW into a mobile office.
