Dealer gift card, what to get

Jamesomania · 12-17-2013, 09:45 AM

Got my 2013 m3, and they gave me a $250 gc to use up... Don't really want to use it for mods right now, just want to go all out and buy something fun.... Any ideas?

Merry Christmas to all..

cme · 12-17-2013, 10:03 AM

put it towards carbon stuff....mirror caps, rear spoiler, or fr. lip. Or you can do the black chrome grill and/or gills.

Naturally you should use it to change your wardrobe to that of a typical M3 driver:

Seriously though I would just use it for practical stuff like rubber floormats/floor liners. Gotta keep the car looking clean.

buy the outdoor custom car cover. It is really good.

$250 off anything at the dealership is still too expensive in most instances IMO. +1 to the rubber floor mats. I am not into the BMW clothing or wallets or toys or whatever, but I know people dig that stuff.

Whatever you get, make sure your not paying MSRP.

808@702 · 12-17-2013, 05:47 PM

+100000000

Holy shiet $250-! I'm starting to think you might over paid for the ///M3?! I got a $50- gc and I think a few bottles of 10w-60 in the trunk would be a good idea cuz she's gonna be burning that oil!!

baba louey · 12-17-2013, 06:02 PM

I just read an article that said Mercedes dealers would be given $2500 from the factory which they could then spend on each purchaser of a S Class car. Ie. gift cards, dinner out, clothes, etc. Maybe BMW has a similar program for Ms?

Jamesomania · 12-17-2013, 06:09 PM

Good call on the floor liners. Got them, and an M key ring with an M credit card holder and M zip sweater and M3 toy car for my desk!
Thanks all!

I don't think BMW has anything built in to offer aka gc... I asked for it ha

That's another good buy, but I didn't think of it on time ha... Not sure if I overpaid. I got 8gs discount.

I almost got another E93 M3 recently. MSRP was 82,575, I was offered it at a selling price of $71,800. Quite a good discount if you ask me

I didn't pull the trigger though. Still on the fence if I want the same car again…

I got something like 9k off a new M3. I used dealer buildout cash, bmw loyalty cash, drive event cash, and then the dealership gave me 4200 off the sticker in addition to mfr rebates. There are usually a lot of mfr rebates to be had but dealers don't have to let you know about them.

1MOREMOD · 12-18-2013, 02:13 PM

Not sure what you would use it on, haven't bought much from the dealer except part here and there that I need right away. Maybe some cleaning supplies to get the poutine smell out.

My car just smells like burnt rubber most of the time. Just have to transport used track tires home to get the full effect.

No I only pretend to be a serious driver. No endurance racing. Just bench.
