Are there trackers in BMW vehicles?
An additional subscription service provided by BMW Assist is theft recovery. Through the use of the GPS system and car computer, this service can track the whereabouts of the vehicle.
Most BMW owners who are worried about theft use tracking services provided by third parties. Both benefits and drawbacks of these technologies are numerous. The majority of gadgets are small and may be put almost anyplace in the car. Small power sources are also present in some high-end electronics. These gadgets might be harder to detect by the burglar and harder to disable. The BMW system, however, is connected to the computer system of the automobile and cannot be removed without making it immobile. According to BMW’s literature, the system also uses the vehicle’s power reserve to boost the cellular signal to three Watts. The usage of the vehicle’s huge antenna, which is several orders of magnitude bigger than a cellphone antenna, is said to have resulted in further signal increases.
If the theft is discovered quickly, the track record of the BMW Assist system is quite good.

Does BMW have a mechanism for recovering vehicles?
If a 2020 M550xi has a functioning theft recovery system, such as LOJACK, GPS tracking, etc., can anybody let me know?
Tomorrow my car will be delivered, therefore I simply added it to my USAA insurance. My annual cost will be little under $800, but if my automobile has this technology, it might be less.
I think you have it if your car has the Stargard GPS option. I think that many (though I’m not sure if all) BMW dealers automatically include this option on the majority of their models, and you have to explicitly say that you don’t want it.
I appreciate the response. I made a call to Tulley BMW, a nearby BMW dealer in Nashua. All M Series vehicles have anti-theft tracking integrated, they said.
The MyBMW app has a vehicle finder if you download it to your phone. It’s a simple way to track your automobile, whether it’s been stolen or is only being driven by a member of your family, unless the criminal understands how to disable that device. Beware of cheating partners…
Unless something has changed recently, the locate my BMW app only works across small distances to locate the car while it is parked or otherwise. It won’t function if the car is kilometers away.
All BMW vehicles sold in the US come with basic Stolen Vehicle Recovery service. It works with the vehicle’s built-in GPS and can be turned on by dialing BMW ConnectedDrive. When I bought my automobile, I received a stolen vehicle support certificate that I may give to my insurance company to get a discount.
I’m not sure how it works in the EU, but in the US, commands may be sent and the vehicle can be located from a great distance away.
Why does BMW not provide theft recovery in Europe if all the hardware is in my car? When the car is parked in front of my house on the street, MyBMW doesn’t even display GPS. ’18 540xi
Every time my vehicle starts or stops, its location is updated. *However*, this feature is enabled in the iDrive, making it simple to turn off if the vehicle is stolen:-/
Nope. Even from hundreds of miles away, I can still see our 2015 435i in its new owner’s home.
It must be a result of EU rules. Here in the UK, it works perfectly (i.e., from a distance of several hundred miles). However, it also functioned in this country prior to our exit from the EU.
Maybe it’s regional, like how Google Earth isn’t permitted to map the roads in Germany?
What does the BMW warranty not cover?
The new BMW guarantee does not cover components like brake pads and filters that experience typical wear and tear. Additionally, it won’t cover damages brought on by inappropriate use or sun damage.
How is BMW SOS put to use?

The same link simultaneously transmits information important to the rescue services, such as the danger of injury, the number of passengers, the model, and the color of the car, as well as the location of the vehicle to the nearest metre. You can manually activate the emergency call if you need to call for help for another driver, for example.
