Default Isn't that part of an extra cost warranty option ? I don't think most M5

owners will keep thier cars all that long. On to the next thrill.... and all that;-)

Default Sometimes they use similar look-alike companies

I think it depends on where you broke down.

Speaking of AAA, a towtruck driver once told me that the standard membership was useless since it comes with only 5 miles of free towing. He said only AAA Plus gives you up to 100 miles of towing and it's worth the extra coinage.

Default Yes, it's true, AAA Plus is the way to go...unless...

you always drive around your local area and you have a place to bring your car to...or don't care where it goes...or don't mind paying the additional...

but in most cases Plus is the way to go.

Default AAA Plus, baby...!!!

...Especially if you hit the road as much as I do. If need be, it's the difference between being towed to "Uncle Bob's Auto Repair & Ribs To Go", or your nearest Audi Dealer...
