You may prefer to roam the highways on your BMW bike alone, but thanks to an iPhone app you’ll always have help at hand if you need it.
Every BMW motorcycle comes with BMW Motorrad USA Roadside Assistance for three years, with the free iPhone app you can get help whether you’ve run out of gas, need a tow, have a flat or are looking for a dealer or need access to your service records.
It can hold info for up to four bikes — you can ID them with nicknames, photos or vehicle identification numbers — and is compatible with any BMW Motorrad model in the US from 1981 onward.
Developed with Allstate enterprises, BMW also provides similar service for BMW cars and Mini drivers.
Here’s hoping the concept will trickle down to the humble Vespa.
