Did anyone else got their gift from BMWNA for attending "Ultimate Driving Event"? I just got mine, and it could not be a better time since I'm about to buy a new BMW
This is the kind of e-mail I got from BMWNA today:

"A $1,000 THANK YOU.

On behalf of BMW of North America, we would like to thank you for attending our BMW Ultimate Driving Event this summer. We hope you thoroughly enjoyed your experience at the event. As a special thank you for your participation, we would like to offer you an Ultimate “Drive-Off” allowance of $1,000 on a new BMW.
From June 1st until September 30th, this offer is available on the 2010 X3, 535i Gran Turismo, 550i Gran Turismo, 550i xDrive Gran Turismo, all 6 Series models and all model year 2011 vehicles with the exception of the all-new 5 Series Sedan.

This year, there are 11 new BMW models to experience, including the new 3 Series Coupe and Convertible, as well as the X5. With so many options to choose from—and all of them boasting the legendary BMW performance and no-cost maintenance—it’s the perfect time to get into the Ultimate Driving Machine.

Your redemption code for this special offer is xxx xxx xxx xxx

Please retain this e-mail. It must be presented to the dealer at the time of the sale. Make sure to visit any BMW center before September 30th to take advantage of this special offer.

Sincerely,
BMW of North America"

Does that email have any personal identifiable information?

[dimabimmer]

yes, it does have "personal redemption code". I just edited my post as well, so that you can see it comes with redemption code (which for privacy I did not disclose).

Also, this event is still going on at some other BMW dealerships. It is still being advertised on National Television... You do not need an invite to attend this event... many people just walk in and sign up at front desk, they just log in your name, DL #, and your signature, and off you go for 30 minutes driving a car of your choice.

You can call this number and get more info 866-905-4BMW (4269)

I believe this $1000 gift would work this way,- Negotiate the selling price with dealer first down to "invoice price"... and only then, right before the deal is finalized, hit them with $1k redemption discount.

$1000 discount off the sale price = monthly payment is $17 less every month on 36 months lease, or 60 months finance...

the 1k would be a rebate from BMWNA. you don't have to spring it on the dealer. We know

I wonder if these codes would be transferable. If so, anyone have a code they don't plan on using and would like to share? The event has stopped running where I currently am

Where and when did you attend the event? Trying to figure out turnaround time on this.

6/4/10 Life Quality BMW (Brooklyn NY)
6/5/10 BMW of Manhattan (Manhattan NY)

...this event is all over New Jersey and everywhere, I keep getting e-mails with invite from different dealerships, so it's moving around.
I thought this event was over, but last night BMWNA was running a commercial on TV about this, so I figure it's going on still ?

A friend of mine went to event, got the $1k rebate, but he is not planning to use it. If it's transferable, I will ask him if he would let it go. PM me if you find out it is transferable and we will hook you up.

Thanks Dima, does it say anything on the email about transferability? I dont think there should be a problem. Someone just PMed me a code already, but I appreciate the offer. Now time to figure out if it's transferrable.

[bmrowe]

If there are any more of these out there that people are willing to part with I would be really thankful if someone would PM me. Thanks

i did test drives at two different bmw dealerships. does that mean that I will receive two rebates and be able to double up when i go buy a new bmw?

My SA just told me there are some crazy rebates/money back on M3 right now... something like $2500 back. He clearly said to me not to worry about $1k coupon, and that there much better savings in rebates/money back. You should check with your SA and press him to give you those discounts before you sign the deal.

What if you negotiate dealer invoice and then use the coupon? You can still press them for best pricing and then BMWNA would pickup the $1k extra. Everyone could use an extra $1000.

Exactly. "Fine Print" says you can use this $1k coupon in combination with other offers.
