Our daughter recently moved from New York and just "bought" (actually leased) a new Mini last week, her first car purchase. They offered her the same/similar protection policy for minor damages that would be fixed with no deductibles--door dings, scratches, etc--things that would come back to bite at the end of the lease. Being an old-school type, I would not have bought it, but if it covers trim and mirrors (I did not read the policy), then I can see the value as the policy would be paid for with one side mirror accident.
