Looks like a way to get your car in so they can tell you that you need $35,723 in repairs...

The roadside "support" (not roadside assistance) doesn't appear to include towing.

Meh-- I would pass, personally.

Thats what I was trying to figure out, if towing was there or not. Every time i googled road side support though road side assistance shows up so I wasn't sure.

Hmmm.

Found this on e90post. Looks like towing is included, which definitely makes it worth the $30.

...unless that only applies in Canada. I'd just call and find out for sure.

My local dealer performs the 55-point vehicle inspection for free. I have AAA Gold with unlimited mileage. I would pass on this.

I've never used the assistance from the premium CCA membership but I like knowing I have it. When it's time to renew my membership I might go for the regular membership and just get AAA roadside

If it included roadside assistance, it's worth it.

When I blew an ignition coil, I had to call Roadside Assistance. People were extremely nice, got me a tow, and even called me an hour later to see if the tow made it to the car (which was the estimated time for the tow...busy day).

The tow driver was actually caring towards the car, knew how to properly tow and buckle the car down...well worth the it IMO

Kyle, are you talking about the true BMW Roadside Assistance 'cause that's not what I was saying. CCA runs a different program of assistance, it's basically just like the one from AAA but more $$$
