M Driving School

jaihind · 04-21-2009, 11:11 PM

I was not sent an invite even though I bought my car in July 08.

Please advise if anyone got invited who has bought a 2008 M3, and what month your car was bought?

You have to fill out a form and fax it to them along with some other documentation. See attachment.

Are you supposed to get an invite to M school when you buy an M3? My SA did not mention anything about it.

Did I get screwed?

What is it all about?

jaihind · 04-22-2009, 12:04 AM

When did you buy your car?

About 6 weeks ago, say mid March.

I would wait a month or two more bro....when I bought my M5 initially, I didnt receive an invitation....but to speed up the whole process I would follow the link the guys posted above.

jaihind · 04-22-2009, 12:28 AM

****didnt receive an invitation till 6 months later.

RJD M3 · 04-22-2009, 01:03 AM

Again, this appears to be only good for sales between 9/1 and 12/31 of last year, too bad for the rest of us. Maybe they will reconsider? Has anyone gotten an invite after these dates of sale?

M3 must be purchased/leased between 9/1/08 and 12/31/08 to attend.

tightie · 04-22-2009, 01:40 AM

august 08.. never got anything.

Eliminator · 04-22-2009, 09:34 AM

Nov 08, got my invite in the mail about 2 months later. SA never mentioned it. Pleasant surprise. Going July 6th!

rominl · 04-22-2009, 10:27 AM

i thought it's only for cars sold between sept and dec like Technic said. i got mine 2 months after i got my car -- on 12/31/08

RL in Florida · 04-22-2009, 10:37 AM

Bought mine Aug 30th, 2008... "missed it by that much"...dammit

TRZ06 · 04-22-2009, 11:00 AM

I always thought it was an automatic thing with any M car? Didn't it used to be like that?

GT3 Tim · 04-22-2009, 11:05 AM

Purcahsed 7/08. Don't recall getting anything about it, but if I did, I am sure I just tossed it.

///M3Joe · 04-22-2009, 11:19 AM

I bought mine in October 2008. Never got an invite, do they honor that in Canada as well?

TommyBwell · 04-22-2009, 11:29 AM

I got mine in October and went to the school last Monday. It is a great time. If you dont get it for free it is worth paying for.

drsnooz · 04-22-2009, 11:38 AM

Ordered my 09 in July for a September build. Car was delivered and purchased in October. Never received an M school invite??? I wish it was automatic when you purchase an M car.

TommyBwell · 04-22-2009, 02:43 PM

I guess my salesman was one of the few that actually used it as an incentive. It had value to me and helped inspire me to hook up.

Sedan_Clan · 04-22-2009, 04:21 PM

I just attended the ///M school last week, and it was a blast. I purchased my car in September of 2008. I believe that the offer only applied to cars purchased 9/08 - 12/08.

+1. It comes in that package they send you in about 4 weeks after you purchase the car that talks about BMW M racing history and everything.

edcvin · 04-22-2009, 04:32 PM

I got my car in January and received the book with all the cd's. Along with it came a paper that said M school was geared for M5's and M6's. Not sure if M3 purchases are still considered for M School but I would really like to go.
