I have Allstate Road Service. This does everything except find the car. Also, the addition BMW service....$200. Anyone EXCEPT those who have 2K7 vehicles, paying $400 for the year for BMW Assist PLUS!!!!?

IMO, no, it's not worth it. When I needed help...and another bmw owner tried calling BMW Assist from her car...it didn't even work! AAA covers most everything for less $$$.

Nope Not paying it either... only good thing about BMW assist is the collision notification feature... but I'm not willing to pay $200+ a year for that. Other stuff is worthless to me. i dont need concierge services...

AAA is more like roadside assistance.. and thats good for 4 years 50K miles on the car... BMW assist is more of concierge services and air bag deployment notification and a low end LoJack system.

For what its worth, I renewed mine. Eventhough I have AAA as well, for $200 if they can find my car should it be stolen, god bless them! Also, since I have comfort access, who knows if my key will malfunction and they can open by door...at least I hope they can!

Mine is due this month, and I will be renewing it. It's just an extra piece of insurance I would like to know I have if anything was to happen. Just like house insurance, good to know you have, and pray you will never need to use it.

:thumbsdown: I just returned my cancel instructions. A cost/ utility calculation on the standard assist, but an absolute no brainer on the concierge service.

I never use the function, although the first year is free for me.
