Re: Breakdown Cover (including Europe)
I have to say thanks for all the great information, I'm so impressed with the depth of knowledge on this forum! Anybody had any experience in using the BMW breakdown cover (specifically abroad)?

Marco, you seem to be anticipating a failure as a given on your road trip
Take the plunge, plan the route book your ferry ticket and go
You'll love it, if the experiences of others on the forum are anything to go by the question of who is the best breakdown recoverer will never be an issue: ah now i've probably cursed it
But hey it's not exactly living dangerously unless your planning to spend 2 weeks driving in Falujah
Your next task is to start a thread with your intended route on
PS in the Roadtrip section
PPS Thanks wondermike

Although I agree there's very little chance of a problem, I think I would make sure I am covered too, better be safe than sorry

Apologies if i made it sound like i was saying go and don't get cover, just meant pick some cover and goTaz x wrote: Although I agree there's very little chance of a problem, I think I would make sure I am covered too, better be safe than sorry
Before i had BMW warranty cover i used to just buy AA cover at the ferry terminal on the way through, or just over the phone, i would always have euro break down cover

Re: Breakdown Cover (including Europe)
Thanks "roofless" - you are right, too much planning and too little doing leads to no fun! That's my problem, never been a risk-taker......I'm working on it though
I will start a new thread as now I need ideas of where to go and any good road recommendations, and I'm sure there will be many!
Thanks again everyone for the advice.......

Look forwards to seeing how your trip comes together

Re: Breakdown Cover (including Europe)
If your car is an "approved used" car bought from a BMW dealer, then European brake-down & recovery is included for 12 months.
I did phone up BMW to confirm this was indeed the case with my car, before I set off on my trip this summer.
