BMW Junk Mail

Xiaofeng · 12-04-2007, 02:07 PM

I think usually junk mail originates primarily from the dealer, and not so much BMW itself, but I wanted to check if others are getting a bunch of advertisements and whatnot from BMW and/or your dealers. The reason I ask is because since I've picked up my car from my dealer (some 4 months ago), aside from a few stray e-mails from my CA, I haven't received much of anything from BMW or the dealership. While normally this isn't a big deal, I've never had a dealership that didn't send me junk when I purchased a car there, so I'm a bit worried that all my junk (along with any personal information) might be ending up in someone else's mailbox. The addresses and everything on my sales contract were correct, so I'm just hoping that this is just my paranoia talking.

Kind of a sad state of affairs when junk mail becomes a part of everyday life....

But with that said, do you guys get a bunch of stuff from BMW or your dealerships? Please share your experiences. Thank you!

Now that you mention it, I have gotten a couple of those, but I always thought that was because of my BMW CCA membership for some reason. Thanks for the reply, Jay.

Anyone else been getting junk mail (or lack thereof)?

Hmm, not a lot of replies. Just wanted to see if anyone else had any experiences either one way or the other (no spam mail vs. lots of spam mail).

I'll occasionally get something from my dealer. But it's good junk mail if I ever wanted or needed to use it. Like they've sent service coupons(obviously not needed, yet), coupons for parts/merchandise, and friendly reminders of upcoming events like the cancer drives and such. Oh they also sent me a BMW Xmas card last week with a 15% service coupon.

So nothing bad at all. Stuff I'd actually be using if we didn't have full coverage maintenance.
