BMW Announces New Intelligent Emergency Call Feature, 2024 Motorcycle Lineup

BMW Motorrad has announced the first updates for model year 2024. BMW models receive new color options, and BMW has also rearranged some of the options packages, moving some features from one package to another and removing some features from options packages to make them stand-alone add-ons. The brand has also added a new Intelligent Emergency Call feature, which comes standard on some models and as an option on other models.

The Intelligent Emergency Call feature includes an SOS button, a loudspeaker, and a microphone on the right handlebar controls. The system uses BMW Motorrad Connected Services, which can be activated during new vehicle delivery to the customer, to connect a rider to an agent whenever the SOS button is pushed or when a crash is detected. Once connected, the agent communicates with the rider to determine the situation and level of injury and to contact emergency services if needed.

For 2024, the Intelligent Emergency Call system comes standard on K 1600 models, R 1250 models, the R 18 B and Transcontinental, the S 1000 R and RR, and the CE 04. It’s available as an option on the F 900 R and XR.

Also included in this announcement is that all new BMW M models will include a 600-mile Ultimate Care Break-In Service, a program that was launched in 2021.

BMW has already released information on a couple new/updated models for 2024 in earlier announcements, including the new R 18 Roctane, the R nineT 12 to replace the R nineT, and a prototype for the BMW M 1000 XR.

  1. You know what would be a real advance in Motorcycling? A bike that will go 100,000 miles without maintenance just like most modern cars. Oil changes in fluid level checks would be the only things required. Having to have the valves adjusted , clutch adjusted etc.. are a thing of the past with most automobiles (at least for the first 100k) so why not motorcycles? Sometimes I believe the only reason they won’t design motorcycles that are near maintenance-free is because the dealership needs the income of the maintenance department to survive. It’s a sad situation that won’t likely change in the near future. If you own a BMW and take a look at the service department receipt, you’ll know what I mean.
    “Connectivity” advances are nice, but not everybody cares about being constantly connected. Many riders like to be free of all connectivity when they ride.
