Yeah, I tried. Just happy I got a car. I didn't have to wait since mine was an order cancellation.

If you apply for BMWCCA you could probably get a rebate back worth more than your initial investment if you've bought a new car. I paid $159 for the 3 year membership (which you can apply for the rebate after 6 months when it's usually after a year of being in the club) and I'll be getting $500 back for my 3 series. The higher end models will yield more of a rebate. Plus, my club chapter throws some pretty fun events and cruises!

Lol just cancelled mine coz HK is available now. Got a new allocation with them.

I'm happy with MSRP as I'm not good at negotiating any way

Yeah. This car had everything I wanted except the high performance summer/track package. I don't have any ambitions to go 155mph up Pike's peak, so a quick tire change to summer tires will suffice.

Have you used any shop for film wrapping and coating? Trying to do some research on installers before my car arrives.

After owning several BMWs over the past 25 years and only one Porsche, I'll say that Porsche is light years better at showing their present and past owners some love. I bought my 2007 C4S new and I still get some pretty cool and expensive swag from them as recently as last year. I'm talking stuff nice enough to be proud to display at home or office.

I'm on my second Macan GTS, and have received two nice Macan ball-point pens, as well as a free subscription to Christophorus magazine since 2018....

Are you looking for PPF or an actual wrap? Check out Simply Clean Detail Studio in Lafayette. It's a hike but Tyler does really good work. Much better install then Schomp did on my F23 (they did the front bumper he did everything else including ceramic.)

I used New Image Paint Protection in Englewood. Excellent work. They did ceramic coating and paint protection film.

For purchasing a Carrera 4S I've got a whole book shelf full of nice swag that I've received over the years since including some hard bound histories of Porsche. This is one of the cool things they sent along - not very expensive but pretty thoughtfully designed to show how the basic DNA of the car's shape has been retained through the years:



Each glass panel represents a model change over the years up until 2011.

I got a BMW cap, and the car cleaning kit in a nice bag. I also got a branded BMW umbrella.

This was for the purchase of a used BMW M4 from BMW Rydale, Worcester. The guy I bought it from was such a nice man, called Dale.

With my F82 I got a BMW umbrella. I paid for the 2-day M-school out of pocket during Black Friday in 2019 (20% off, if I recall) and went to Thermal in February of 2020 (1 month before COVID lockdown). M-School was worth every penny. Best experience in my life. I cannot wait to go back.

I am guessing I will get my choice of any trinket I want in their swag case when I pick up my G82. Which, as with the F82, was a keychain or an umbrella....for a $90k car..

[billnchristy]

2 keychains, insulated mug, air freshener and refill pack, and a carbon fiber pen.

[Kowalski2011]

Back when I paid off my loan with BMW FS I got a free M-track day. I thought what a great sales tactic to entice me to buy a new M4/X3M/whatever. I had a great time and there was ZERO sales pitch or pressure.

[RotaryP7]

When my wife leased her X1 last year, they gave us an M branded hat, M branded umbrella, M branded towels. Then again, she kept asking for goodies and the sales manager just gave in.

I forgot to mention that he also gave me a set of "M logo" valve stem caps.
