Don't you have to be the original owner to get that LIFETIME roadside assistance?

Also, the BMW goo has an expiration date on the canister. If it's too old it won't work anyway, so there goes any peace of mind that might give you. I doubt that anyone here has checked the date and actually replaced theirs with newer stuff!
Even though, I have no intention of using mine, I still replace the canister every 4 years or so. There are places that I visit without cell phone services for miles and miles...so I have AAA, a plug kit and the BMW mobility kit is my back up.
