My Ride: '04 545i/6sp SilverGray/Beige
In the SIB that describes how to get the BT stuff activated for our E60's, I noticed that there is a little diddy stating that BMW ASSIST now includes stolen vehicle recovery.
I wonder if that's universal to the ASSIST service, i.e. all ASSIST equipped vehicles come with it, or only new vehicles.
If that's the case, then there could be some insurance benefit to having the service.
Here is the text from the bulletin:

My Ride: E90 M3
Model Year: 2011
I saw another post from someone with a MY05 who said this was the case (vehicle recovery now available) but I have never seen any indication whether it works for MY04 or if there is some retrofit needed, etc. Of course I haven't bothered to ask my dealer as I'm sure they know nothing about it.

My Ride: 2004 BMW 545I
Titanium Silver Metallic / Black Leather / Poplar Grain Wood Trim /Automatic
Cold Weather Package / Heated Rear Seats / Xenon Headlights / Sirius Satellite Radio
Leather Selector Lever w/Wood Inlay / Wood E-Brake Handle / Red Rear Reflectors / BMW All Weather Mats / BMW All Weather Trunk Liner / LoJack Anti-theft System
I was told the same thing last night by my BMW dealer for the 2005 model year - he said that the car could be disabled by BMW if it was reported stolen.

I have so far been unable to get information regarding the 2004 models either.
