Christmas gift for bf! Please help

bimmerguy'sgirlfriend · 12-21-2021, 12:07 AM

Hi everyone, my boyfriend drives a 340i and I want to surprise him with something for his car that he hasn't asked me specifically for. I've got the gifts he has asked me for for his car. I need some ideas for cool, sweet or must have gifts for BMWs in general or for a 340i specific. Thanks to those who help.

aliiin · 12-21-2021, 01:34 AM

What's the budget?

A cool gf would rebuild his whole motor.

A gift card for an oil change at the local BMW dealer

New floor mats if the ones he has are getting tired

A BMW keychain or apparel item from the BMW dealer parts department

How about a die cast model of his car? Is his blue -

M5Rick · 12-21-2021, 08:02 AM

BMW air freshener with spare refills.

BMWCCA1 · 12-21-2021, 08:20 AM

Contact the BMW Performance Center in SC and gift him an M-school, or any of their other course offerings. Or book two, if you'll go with him. Or, if that doesn't match your budget, give him a BMW CCA membership—assuming he doesn't already have one.

Mintsopoulos · 12-21-2021, 08:36 AM

-Get him scheduled with a local detailer for a full on detail.
-A canvas print of his car
-Hot wheels/model version of his car

A bottle of blinker fluid would be pretty funny too lol.

Alfisti · 12-21-2021, 08:42 AM

Find a nice steak, cook it right. You're half way there.

Jokes aside, a proper full blown (ha!) detail is always appreciated.

Bush Pilot · 12-21-2021, 08:50 AM

A wash and wax of his car.

King Rudi · 12-21-2021, 08:55 AM

I got you.

Disclaimer: This is a joke. Do not do this, unless it's joke. Tell him someone off here suggested it. If he thinks it's funny, he's a keeper. If he puts it on his car, break up with him immediately and go find yourself a real man.

Another vote for floor mats.

I have these. They aren't weather tech, slightly cheaper, I really like mine.

Thanks, I have been looking to get one of my car...I can go as far as even getting my license plate in a decal for it but they have no stock and no option to await stock

you took me up, and dropped me off in minutes.

Finds and joins a BMW forum to ask for gift giving advice for her boyfriend. That's pretty damn thoughtful and creative.

You didn't tell us what your budget is. That would help.

Agreed. Points for being an awesome girlfriend!

DocL · 12-21-2021, 09:46 AM

Maybe a BMW shirt or hat.

heitzke · 12-21-2021, 09:57 AM

Yeah budget is my first question as well. Also, props for coming onto a forum to actually ask lol.

Barring having pics of the car in question I may do something like a Dragy or something vehicle agnostic that's just a cool toy - https://www.amazon.com/dragy-10Hz-Ba...0098630&sr=8-3

Floor mats and official air fresheners are a good idea too.

Maynard · 12-21-2021, 10:08 AM

I'd second the votes for BMW CCA membership, and a day at M-school (that covers the $50 to 2-grand range, assuming you throw in hotels and travel $ to M school). If M school is too pricy, the local club probabyl does autocross or taste of the track (or car shows, meet/drives). He might also appreciate you setting up a nice driving trip to use the car (good roads and a fun destination are all it takes; or for us total gearheads, just some good roads).

You mentioned car gifts he'd already asked for - send details so we know what he's into, and we can probably get more specific.

Tommy-G · 12-21-2021, 10:09 AM

Dont get too high and mighty on her, she hasnt responded to anything yet. Could be another SPAM attack....or maybe she has a life not on internet forums like the rest of us

Finn Germai-Yaz · 12-21-2021, 11:20 AM

BMW Watch
BMW Shoes
BMW Lunch Bag

Box Collector · 12-21-2021, 11:36 AM

LuxoM3 · 12-21-2021, 11:58 AM

I got this for myself. I love it. About $20-$25.
Had it about 2 years, the logo and screen print is pretty bulletproof. Hasn't rubbed off or faded.
