My Ride: 2008 BMW 550i Sport
Carbon Black Metallic/Cream Beige
Manny tranny and other stuff
Recently gone, but never forgotten:
2005 Ford Mustang GT (hence the name)
Torch Red/Crimson
Manny tranny and every option available for that year
2002 Chrysler 300M Special
Brilliant Black/Light Taupe/Dark Slate
Autostick and goo-gobs of neat features that I will sorely miss
My free BMW Assist will be running out next month. (It's only the first year free, right?) Are there any real benefits to keeping it? I don't use concierge, turn-by-turn, etc. Will I lose any iDrive functionality by not having it?

That's good enough for me! Didn't think it had a real purpose...

Your iDrive won't be affected ... but Assist is idle unless you need it! When you do ... you might really miss it!

When I used to live in the middle of nowhere I thought this would really be a good feature, especially with kamikaze deer on lonely roads. Oh for a stretch of lonely road....
