Saw this thread and thought I would re-post what I wrote in the F30 forum.

My car had a drivetrain malfucntion, then fuel supply malfunction, and proceeded to die on the side of the highway (during rush hour no less). Car was towed to BMW dealership service (I have Geico Towing which is cheaper than AAA and covers the first 22 miles), filed a claim with Geico for the MBI, and the BMW Service Advisor and Geico did the rest. Geico approved the claim very quickly and covered the BMW diagnostic costs. BMW replaced the fuel pump and I paid them $250 for the deductible when it was completed. Total cost of the replacement fuel pump was close to $1k and I estimate I have payed approximately $4-500 for MBI premiums on my insurance policy (which was payed for since the initial purchase of the car).

Overall, it was a very easy process and is well worth it, as long as you plan to keep the car to 100k miles like myself.

My car is a '12 328i F30 w/ 70k miles.
