I don't know why they didn't give me a jump. BMW Canada's roadside assistance program uses tow-trucks from a company called Abrams. They are BMW's official contact here in the province of Ontario, but I think they just don't want liability (trying to fix a BMW).

Once I drove a 1997 Audi A4 1.8T Q. And once something went wrong. The pickup truck that came was from CAA (same as AAA in USA) and that guy jump-started the car. However, in the process he managed to somehow burn the car's computer. The car's tranny skipped and slipped the gears. I brought it to the dealer, and they said the computer was physically fried!

I'm reluctant with jump-starts since then.
