Here's a question....... I paid for my e60 in December 2004. I picked it up (ED) in Feb. 2005. Redelivered in April 2005. When would you think my "First year is ree" would end for BMW Assist?

In the UK we only get 6 months inclusive (hesitate to use the word 'free')

This is when you call for help:

I used this button not for bmw assist, but as a garage-door opener

BMW does offer a concierge service, but extra monthly charge for it....

Certainly for 08 cars you get three years assist included. Also 3 years connected.
