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')

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