AAA and BMW Assist use the same towing companies... difference being that BMW will only compensate the tow company if your car ends up at a dealership.
+1 And get the AAA Plus or Premier, 100-200 mile tows (rather than 5 miles/closest AAA garage with the base plan).

When my wife ripped the sidewalls of two tires (and ruined two wheels) on a granite curb in my then new E46, I had the car towed (flat bedded) to my house so I could put on another set of wheels.
