Sounds like another example of poor dealer service. :thumbsdown:
But frankly the auto renewal should be put in writing and have your signature on it, IMO.

I believe that the dealer does get involved in the BMW Assist registration process by sending in SOME info. about the new owner. Then, when the owner takes delivery, the sales associate has the owner make an initial call to BMW Assist to activate the account. I've taken delivery of two cars that have BMW Assist, and each time the dealership had NOT given any cc info to BMW Assist, but rather I was asked if I want to give it by the operator during that initial call.
When I activated my BMW Assist account, they asked may we have your credit card number. I asked why they needed it since the first year is free--they said it was "as a convenience to me" so they could continue my service automatically after the first year! I said no thank you. Then they asked may we have your email address, I said no thank you...

In Germany you don't need to give them a CC. They don't even ask. Long before the first year is over you get a letter in which they inform you, that you now have to cancel, or the service continues. If you then do nothing the service continues and you get an invoice you have to pay.
I just received my letter two weeks ago. That's more than a month before the free year is over.
