07/08 M CPO deal - free M school

[///My5UV]

Sorry if this is old news, but just got a thing in my dealer newsletter that if you buy or lease a 2007 or 2008 CPO M car through BMW FS then they'll toss in M school for free.

any idea if other M purchases (new) get the free M-school?

[docderwood]

I asked about that and was told "No".

Went to it when I leased an M5 4 or 5 years ago. It was a blast. Bummer it isn't offered for those of us purchasing M3's

If you're buying or leasing new you can do performance center delivery... if you're not unbearably far from South Carolina.

You can lease a 2008 M3?

Yeah, I guess you can lease used cars... never occurred to me, but then I never seriously considered leasing until recently since I tend to keep cars for a long time.

I think it is only for cars financed or leased through BMW. If you pay cash or finance elsewhere, you are not eligible.
