Only really used mine once. My understanding of how it works is you call BMW assist through I-drive and tell them what you want eg. a certain type of resturant or hotel in a certain location and they find it for you and send the details directly to your nav. Also you can book your car in for service plus I think the SOS button is part of the package.

There are two parts to the BMW Assist program (at least for the US. Other regions/countries probably have a diff variation of these programs):

1. BMW Safety Plan is automatically included with your annual subscription. This includes Emergency Roadside Assist, Automatic Collision Notification, Stolen Vehicle Recovery (all models produced after 10/04, except 7 series), etc.

2. The Convinience Plan is an optinal plan with additional charges (can't remember the cost..I think it's per call) and gives you services like travel directions, weather, and concierge services (reservations, tickets, etc).

You can read more at the BMW website:

I haven't used mine at all after the first activation call.
