However this might have more to do with the ineptness of the dealer than the actual warranty.
I have heard very positive things re the warranty otherwise and with the "well known" issues on the 335i engine, I don't think I'd want to run without one so I will be renewing mine in a few months on the monthly scheme which is quite reasonable. The only downside is that you are locked into main dealer servicing.
As for the emergency assist, the one time I have had to call them out for a flat on one of my RFT's, they were brilliant. Arrived in about 20 minutes and transported me, the OH and a friend home on a dedicated low loader and offered to take me to a garage the next day if required so well worth the money I reckon.

Hmm...I actually contacted bmw re: their aftermarket warranty' to ask them If I would be tied-in to bmw servicing and their answer was - No.
As long as the garage carrying-out the service uses bmw service kits then there is no issue.
I better call them again to get somebody to confirm this.
