What does it take to get invited to something like this? My family has bought over 20 new BMWs over the last 20 years and we never hear a peep from anyone.

in the past there was a closed room at m-power.com. I received an invite to an event after participating in a contest on that site.


that link is still a BMW link but currently routes you here..

Damn that sucks, I bought maybe only 3 new bmws and about 7 used/CPO cars and got invites to a few events like this. It's who you know....and maybe you guys bought 20 of the wrong bmws! Lol.

When the F10 M5 was coming out me and many members from this board attended the M event in Sevilla Spain that was very similar to this and it was amazing. I wonder why there was not an F90 launch event for M enthusiasts?

That's right. This is where the spyshots of the M2 Competition and X3M were taken. It's a workshop for international dealers.

I am a client, not a dealer, and I was invited to this year's event in Estoril. I guess it's up to the relationship you have with the dealership. I was offered the slot for free.
Also you can check the calendar for M Events around the world and sign in.
I definitely recommend the experience!

I'm guessing press credentials that's one way. If you run a fan website like the mods here or if you have a well-followed blog or a writer for a magazine/newspaper, then you'll get an invite.

Else, your dealer is hosing you. If you indeed have a strong relationship with a single dealer (have you bought all 20 from the same shop?), then they should have you on a VIP-type list. Call your sales guy and complain, either there's more VIPs ahead of you or dealership owner (employees) is taking the invited spots themselves.

So that was the other one? Definitely an SUV from the disguise.

I think they invite clients who are interested in bmw M cars to these events. if you have a close relationship with your dealer you can ask him to invite you to the next event. I was invited because I was interested in an M3 but there were friends of mine who always buy bimmers from the dealer and they were also invited even though I donīt think they were buying at the time

I guess my dealer doesn't value the relationship with me then. Probably 25 - 30% of the cars we are M cars. Looks like it might be time to shop the relationship to the other dealership in town.
