BMW TELESERVICES.
The best connection for more comfort and safety.
The next oil change, vehicle check, new brake pads. These are appointments you no longer need to think about. Just lean back and relax – your BMW knows when and what services it needs and sends the vehicle-related service data automatically to BMW. Your preferred BMW Service Partner can then access the data quickly and get in touch with you right away. With BMW TeleServices from BMW ConnectedDrive you’re free to do what you really want to.
OVERVIEW OF BMW TELESERVICES.
BMW TeleServices are innovative BMW ConnectedDrive services that offer maximum comfort and let you focus on the important things in life. Through BMW TeleServices, your preferred BMW Service Partner receives detailed information from BMW regarding the condition of the vehicle, information which was previously available only through a workshop visit. This guarantees personalised service for your vehicle as well as a quick reaction in the event of a malfunction.
With the Automatic BMW Teleservice Call your BMW knows when a service is due. Through the Condition Based Service (CBS) sensors, the car identifies service requirements and automatically transmits all service-related data to BMW. Your preferred BMW Service Partner retrieves the data, is informed about the service need and vehicle status, and calls you to arrange a workshop appointment, if necessary.
In the event of a breakdown or technical malfunction, you can initiate the BMW Breakdown Call to get assistance, while the BMW Teleservice Update ensures that your mobile devices and media players are always well connected to your BMW. BMW Teleservice Battery Guard reliably keeps an eye on your battery day and night and informs you if the battery’s state of charge drops below a certain level.
