Service Request
Automatic Service Request
The Teleservice data on the vehicle's service requirements is sent automatically to the service center by BMW prior to the service deadline. If possible, the service center will contact you to arrange a service appointment.
This way, the dealer's service center can plan the necessary work in advance. This shortens the duration of the service appointment.
Manual Service Request
Concept
Using a manually initiated Service Request, data on the vehicle's service requirements is directly sent by BMW to the service center. If possible, the service center will contact you to arrange a service appointment.
General information
A Service Request can also be started via a Check Control message, see Owner's Manual for the vehicle.
