Here's a question....... I paid for my e60 in December 2004. I picked it up (ED) in Feb. 2005. Redelivered in April 2005. When would you think my "First year is ree" would end for BMW Assist?

BMW does offer a concierge service, but extra monthly charge for it....

Certainly for 08 cars you get three years assist included. Also 3 years connected.
