can anyone in the USA comment on how 'assist' works here. when i picked up my car 2 weeks ago, the dealer told me bmw will be calling me while i was in the car to activate the system....havent gotten any calls yet.
also, do we get 'assist' in the USA for free? if so, for how long? how much is it per year after the trial period?? the dealer never mentioned anything about having to subscribe to it.
many thanks.

In the USA, you get BMW Assist free for the first year. If you want to extend it beyond that, the price my dealer quoted me was $240 for each additional year.

The dealer should have already registered you for the Assist program. Check in your documents for the form which spells out your username and password. If everything is set up properly, you should be able to press the SOS button and talk with the BMW folk directly using the built-in phone. If it doesn't work, get back with the dealer.
