I DON’T NEED SOMEONE WHO’S ALWAYS THERE – JUST SOMEONE, WHO’S THERE QUICKLY.

In most cases we will already be able to help you over the phone. If you need help on site, we will immediately send out a BMW Servicemobile or organise BMW roadside assistance for you by selected specialist operators. We bear the costs for this service (up to a maximum of EUR 100). Note: roadside assistance on site is limited solely to restoring your vehicle’s roadworthiness.

We provide reliable assistance in the event of a puncture. If your BMW is fitted with runflat tyres and no replacement tyres are available within four hours, the costs of additional services are also reimbursed – excluding the cost of the tyres themselves. In the event of minor mishaps, e.g. if your keys have been locked inside the car or lost or if the wrong type of fuel has been added, we’ll be pleased to organise assistance. Please note that we do not assume any responsibility for the cost of roadside assistance on site, or of mobility services above and beyond the scope outlined above.

If a problem cannot be rectified on the spot, we will cover the costs of towing your BMW to the nearest BMW Service Partner.

If you have broken down and need to continue your journey by taxi, we will cover the costs of one or more taxi rides up to a limit of EUR 65.

If you need to stay overnight in a hotel as a result of a breakdown, we will cover the costs of hotel accommodation for all vehicle occupants until the car is repaired or for a maximum of four nights (hotel category up to four stars). This is subject to the breakdown site being more than 50 kilometres from your place of residence.

We will cover the costs of a replacement vehicle until completion of the repairs, for a maximum of three working days plus the weekend in your home country, and a maximum of five working days plus the weekend abroad. Please note that the availability of replacement vehicles may vary. The general terms and conditions of commercial car rental services may impose geographical restrictions for the use of their vehicles.

In addition to the services outlined above and to keep you fully mobile, we cover the costs of the following services up to an overall maximum of EUR 500 per breakdown.

If the circumstances require, we will also meet the costs of your return travel home by train or air – up to the maximum amount stated above.

If you incur costs for the collection of your vehicle, we will cover these up to the maximum amount stated above. If necessary, we will organise for the vehicle to be returned home on your behalf, subject to the repair taking more than three working days from the time of the vehicle’s arrival in the workshop to its anticipated time of completion. In this case, your place of residence must also be more than 100 kilometres from the breakdown site. Repatriating vehicles from abroad may take up to around ten days (consolidated transport).*

* Note on this service: the costs of multiple separate services provided for your seamless mobility can only be reimbursed up to an overall maximum amount of EUR 500 EUR per breakdown.

As a fundamental principle, only costs of a nature and scope that have been agreed with BMW Breakdown Assistance can be covered. Generally speaking, we take care of the costs of all BMW Breakdown Assistance services directly on your behalf. If, exceptionally, you need to pay for services, we will reimburse you immediately. To do that, we need the original invoices for the services used (for example vehicle recovery companies) together with a copy of the repair invoice, and the completed notice of breakdown.

Albania, Andorra, Austria, Belgium, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Great Britain, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Macedonia, Malta, Monaco, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Serbia and Montenegro, Sweden, Switzerland, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain (incl.

Do you have any queries regarding BMW Breakdown Assistance? If so, you can contact us by phone on 0800-21 53 99 in Austria and on +49-89-58 80 99 556 in all other countries covered by BMW Breakdown Assistance.

Included in this offer are comprehensive mobility services in accordance with the applicable BMW Breakdown Assistance terms and conditions of guarantee for a period of two years on all BMW new vehicles first registered on 1 January 2011 or later.

After the 24-month guarantee period has expired, you can then decide if you wish to renew the BMW Breakdown Assistance mobility guarantee for your BMW. When you have your scheduled engine oil service carried out by an authorised BMW workshop, the BMW Breakdown Assistance mobility guarantee is renewed automatically for a further 24 months up until a maximum of the end of the tenth year after initial registration. The date when the next engine oil service is due is determined by your on-board computer, according to your individual driving style. The entry in your vehicle’s Service Booklet or the service invoice serves as evidence.

Even if you have not had one of your engine oil services carried out by an authorised BMW workshop, there is nothing to prevent you from renewing your mobility guarantee. If you then arrange for the next engine oil service to be carried out by an authorised BMW workshop, the BMW Breakdown Assistance mobility guarantee will be automatically renewed for a further 24 months, but with the maximum being up until ten years after the initial registration. Please note: the BMW Breakdown Assistance mobility guarantee expires in all cases at the end of the tenth year after the date on which your vehicle was first registered.

The service entitlements under a BMW Breakdown Assistance mobility guarantee are not forfeited if other service and repair work – including any additional oil services required – are carried out by non-authorised workshops. However, services from the BMW Breakdown Assistance mobility guarantee are excluded if the vehicle’s loss of mobility is a result of failure to observe the inspection and service intervals specified by the manufacturer or if inspections, service work and other repairs by a non-authorised workshop do not comply with the manufacturer’s requirements.

Supreme quality, optimum value retention – technological advances mean that repairing BMW vehicles is becoming an increasingly sophisticated affair. Only your BMW Service Partner will be able to fully meet this demand. Highly qualified specialists restore your BMW technically and visually to its original condition and ensure it meets all crash test specifications. Original BMW Parts are used exclusively during the repair of your vehicle. If your BMW needs paintwork repairs, this is done using environmentally friendly paint from the BMW ColorSystem.

Especially after a serious car accident, time is of the essence when the rescue services need to get injured persons out of the vehicle. That is why they need to be given full information as quickly as possible about the car in question. Where are its batteries? Where are the airbags? At what points can a vehicle can be cut open quickly and safely? That is why we came up with the idea of BMW Rescue Information for the emergency services, BMW Rescue Charts, and a special sticker for the windscreen.

The BMW Rescue Charts supply the emergency services with important information that helps them gain swift, safe access to the occupants. You can print out the BMW Rescue Charts as a PDF file and keep it behind the driver’s sun visor. The rescue charts are in colour, to make them easier to follow. We therefore recommend printing out the rescue chart for your vehicle using a colour printer.

Legal disclaimer: The content of the rescue data sheets is intended exclusively for trained members of the rescue services, for the technical rescue of persons.

Your BMW Partner can also supply the “Rescue chart inside vehicle” sticker. So that rescuers know at a glance that there is a rescue chart in the car, the sticker needs to be affixed at the bottom of the windscreen, on the driver’s side. Your BMW Partner will be glad to advise you.
