Since the safety plan does not pay to repair your vehicle, there is no way you are going to spend anywhere close to $800 towing your car to a dealer, etc. The cost would be worthwhile if it was $200 for a lifetime service contract per vehicle or closer to $50 per year. But at $200 per year, unless you are wrecking all the time, it is too expensive. And if you are wrecking all the time, get a cheap POS instead.  |
Again, think in terms of insurance. If you have just one wreck in 4 years where having BMW assist makes the difference between you getting the assistance you need to save your life or someone's life in your vehicle or you or them dying then $800 over 4 years is a small price to pay. Don't you think?
