My Ride: 2005 530i, SMG, Silver Grey, Black leather w/anthracite trim, Premium, Sport, Cold, Rear Fold Down Seats, Rear Seat Heating, Xenons. Mods: 545i chrome grill, Euro Red Reflectors and 20% window tint. Coming Soon: Dual LCD monitors w/DVD and Subwoofer install.
My BMW assist subscription is set to expire next month and I do not plan to renew it. My questions is, if I press my SOS button after Assit has expired, will it still contact someone at BMW or will it just cease to function.
Thanks.
Matt

Cool! I guess when mine expires I can't pretend like it's the passenger eject button!?

My Ride: -SOLD- 530i Alpine White. Sport package, comfort seat package, premium sound package, power rear shade, premium package, rear red reflectors, and adaptive headlights with xenon’s
That's funny they just called last night for a renewal. I asked the same question and he told me that it would be completely disabled. I asked again and more directly, if I was in an accident would they dispatch help if the air bags were deployed and he said NO.
So is s this true?

My subscription expired back in April and since then it has been totally disabled. I tried using it a couple of times to see if it would work but it doesnt dial or anything.

:'( Ahhhh what the hell, mine is set to expire in October, I already sent my $249.00 bucks to renew. It always happens, you cut it off and before you know it something happens and you damm wish you had renewed it.
Who would have thunk it.????
