Free Stuff from dealership?

yeung330xi · 07-10-2006, 01:28 PM

What kind of free stuff did your SA/Dealership throw in when you lease/bought your car?

When I lease my E46 back in 2003 they gave me 2 keychains and a leather CD case.

When I got my E90 they threw in the rubber mats

, 2 more keychains and car soap.

Are the keychains standard gifts?

Just wondering what everyone else got.

bavarian19 · 07-10-2006, 01:32 PM

I got my car for free

seriously... mats, and a good deal on tints and clearbra... My SA sent me directly to the company they outsource to for these. The dealership tried to sell me on them for about $350 more than what the company asked for...

E90: key chains, rubber mats, hat, shirt, and a bear
E46: key chains, rubber mats
E65: key chains, extra set of carpeted mats, polo shirt, bottle of wine, balloons
MB E320: key chains, bear, balloons

KL2DC · 07-10-2006, 01:35 PM

Rubber mats, 2 key chains, tire valve stem caps & chrome exhaust tips

bavarian19 · 07-10-2006, 01:36 PM

This has been discussed before though... It depends mostly on how much over invoice you got your car for... The better the deal, the less likely they are to give free items out...

Asiann · 07-10-2006, 01:47 PM

I got free rubber mats, keychain.
Got 35% off for cargo mat, BMW valve stem
BMW discount on tint

I'm pretty sure the keychains are always free. I was in the dealer the other day and the salesman gave each family member one.

I got carpeted and rubber floor mats, bmw hat, polo shirt, 2 keychains, $50 gift card for accessories, free hand car washes and a tin of Cheryl's Cookies with the BMW logo which is really cool!

HappyG · 07-10-2006, 02:00 PM

I got a micro fiber towel and that's it. For $500 over invoice, I can't complain I guess...still feel like I should've got at least a license plate frame or something, but it's petty compared to the amount I saved I suppose.

Agreed. With $500 - $1000 over the invoice, they probably ain't throw any freebie. I got mine in May 05 with carpet floor mats. That's it.

You bought a $40,000 car and you are concerned about a free keychain???

LOL

I certainly was not expecting anything to mark/celebrate 1 year of E90 ownership, that's for sure.

Nothing at the same time frame with my e36 & e46.

It is nice, isn't it!!!

Cheers
