BM roadside assist

Bmpete · 07-10-2012, 07:20 AM

I'm getting close to the end of my 3 year warranty and will now have to pay for it. Interested to hear from other members their experience with BM roadside assist. Pro's/Con's when compared with RACV etc. One query I have is seeing as I'm considering running Non-RFT's whether BM assist would cover having to change/provide tyre/wheel or tow? in case a flat/punctured tyre could not be re-inflated with a can etc. Anyone had this experience?

Hello,
I changed my RFT's out, they are rubbish. You can buy a tyre repair kit from BMW (includes mini compressor that plugs into cig lighter and the slime to block the puncture. These retail for about 250 I believe. I'm sure if you have to use it you could just buy the slime as the compressor is obviously reused.

1. i just bought the 'extended' bmw roadside as it was cheaper than nrma, cheap piece of mind.

2. get a slime kit 50-60 does the same as the bmw mobility kit for a fraction of the $

+1 I'm sure it does do the same job. But I bet it doesn't come in a nice case with non slip rubber on the bottom and a pair of silk gloves LOL.
