Thanks Wondermike. I don't think the information in the link gives prices, which kinda makes me think it will be expensive. I read that in th US it is about $240 a year, which would mean about £160. That feature where they can locate your car anywhere from Assist HQ, surely that is equivalent to having a tracker in the car? Apart from the unlock feature, all the other benefits can be had by using a mobile phone. Come to think of it, if you lock your keys and your mobile in the car, how do you call BMW Assist to get it unlocked!!
