Though some limits and conditions apply, the BMW Protection Plan extends the existing BMW warranty to provide the customer with up to 6 years or 120, 000 km of coverage, whichever comes first.
The BMW Service Card provides 24hr/7day roadside assistance and includes such services as towing, winching, and trip interruption allowance (by reimbursement) of up to $100 per incident and travel planning services.
Normally, cars sold through such plans are slightly more expensive than similar models sold as regular used cars, either by a dealer or by a private citizen. Any extra cost caused by a program like this is usually justified by the notion that the product is better and it comes with a warranty and, in the case of BMW's Certified Series, with a money-back guarantee.
