My 3 year warranty expires soon, and I've decided not to take out the BMW extended warranty. Any recommendations for breakdown cover?

I use GEM motoring assist. They seem much better than RAC & AA & were very competitive on price

I can vouch for the Nationwide cover - my A4 broke down so i called them - previously with the RAC they would only send patrol to then tell me i needed a loader as it's quattro. I asked the lady to directly send a loader and they did, quick response and i was up a hill in the Dales.

Not sure if you know , might be of interest but the AA offer this as an extra -


Parts and Garage Cover – if your vehicle needs parts or garage work, we’ll be there to help out with your repair bills, so you can:

Claim up to £500, including VAT (with a £35 excess) towards expenses if your vehicle needs parts or garage work after we’ve tried to fix it at the roadside
Make up to 5 claims a year (6, if you cover more than 1 vehicle on a joint or family policy)
Cover up to 4 vehicles on 1 policy
If you opt for National Recovery, At Home or Onward Travel, you’ll be able to use them 24 hours after you buy. And, if you add Parts and Garage Cover, you can get help with repair bills for breakdowns that happen after the first 14 days of your cover.

I believe you can get BMW Assist without having a BMW warranty.

Worth a look, at least.
