Getting Started
A temporary Roadside Assistance card can be
found inside your vehicle portfolio. It contains
the 24-hour toll-free number for Roadside
Assistance.
For your convenience a decal which shows the
same information as the Roadside Assistance
card, has been affixed to the tool kit cover on
the trunk lid.
In a few weeks you will receive a permanent
Roadside Assistance card by mail. The original
in-service date and vehicle identification number
(VIN) are embossed on the card.
This card should be carried by the driver of your
BMW.
