Interesting that it says Service Inclusive is excluded this year. Or at least, that’s how I read the highly ambiguous wording.

Fox530 · 11-05-2023, 07:40 AM

The problem with this offer is that you can only benefit from it if your renewal date is lucky enough to be in November.

Which means those who do benefit get to do so every year as they'll always be due for renewal when the offer is in place, whereas those of us with a renewal that doesn't fall in November can never do so.

Thanks BMW.

Absolutely. Just renewed my wife's on her 220i (registered in the month of June) and when mine needs to be renewed it won't apply to me either (registered in the month of October). Bummer on both counts!

Sooo, I can get remote start for 20% off? This hasn’t popped up on mine yet though

lnlyssg · 11-05-2023, 12:18 PM

“Up to” 20% so may not be the same saving on everything. This was from the news page of the app, you’ll have to wait till the 22nd to see the actual prices.

I guess you could just not renew until November, if you can live without the feature in the meantime. Or doesn't it work like that?

It works exactly like that.

bmnut · 11-05-2023, 04:14 PM

My understanding is that you only have a limited time after expiry in which to renew.

I’m sure that isn’t right. Why would BMW restrict their income like that?

Yes, it says so quite explicitly, so I'd agree with your reading too.

I'll be renewing my speed camera alerts. I initially had it due August but then let it lapse last year to November. Worked OK.

Thanks Paul. Been a while since I renewed any services on my car and only had to do that on the wife’s car this year as it hit three years old in June gone.
Never gave a thought about any possible Black Friday deals or services being made free and unlimited! …. Oh bugger!

I presume this is still not available in the UK as not showing as an option for me?

Not legal in UK

Must be territory specific. I’m in the Netherlands and it does include up to 20% off service inclusive. Model dependent etc etc. For me and my 330e, no discount. So I’d be interested to see which models they have applied 20% off for and of course why

Neovo88 · 11-22-2023, 03:11 PM

Only got one option available to me is the speed camera warning £20 for a year. Worth a purchase for the peace of mind.

Riccardog · 11-23-2023, 06:00 AM

Yep, similar here, I've renewed my speed cameras. Not sold on the adaptive headlights, I think I've driven my car at night on country roads like 5 times since I bought it.

330Stevie · 11-24-2023, 01:32 AM

Wouldn’t be without the speed camera alert. It’s clearly updated very regularly as it’s picking up all the cameras that keep appearing on the M5 roadworks in Bristol.
Best £25 spent, so at £20 gotta be worth it for those considering it.

Same here & just bought.

Geoff G20 · 11-28-2023, 07:59 AM

I have 'Connected Booster Package' and 'Concierge Services' as options although I'm not really sure what either of them provide.

Both seem to mention real time traffic info, which is about all I would like.

Plus, it would be nice to know exactly what 'automate my habits actually includes' - does it remember my preferred drive mode for instance?
