6 months of waiting and it's here, not the car

Came home to see this long strange letter on my counter from BMW. Of course I think they are pitching me on something but it was my M drivers package information with voucher! Now just to decide between Spartanburg SC or Thermal in CA. Pretty cool flier they send for it also. So anyone else out there that got the m drivers package it may take some time but it does eventually show up!

Unfucking believeable, I have had the car for 1 year and still have not received any documentation.

Wait, you actually ordered and paid for the the $2500 M driver's package (7ME) with your car a year ago and did not get the docs or at least a voucher to do this event this whole time without calling and raising hell too BMW about it??

Speaking of which, they should really make this a standard perk, at least for buying a $100k+ M car, instead of making you pay $2500 extra for it. Ford gives an off-road "track day" for free to all Raptor owners, and that's only a $60k truck.

I bought the First Edition last August, the MDP is included with it and I did call BMW shortly after and they were going to look into it. Ill be honest that I have not followed up since but is this my responsibility to follow up for a product I bought? I guess I need to hound them more

Hopefully this benefit doesnt expire.

They included it in the past. When I bought my 2002 M5 they included 2 days the M School in Spartanburg for me and a guest along with a factory tour and a drive in Z3's to Asheville on icy roads following a chase car. It was a blast, especially for two guys in their 20's !! They also paid for the Hotel.

Unfortunately most people had to call BMWNA to get the ball rolling/force the issue.

Vic that sucks man but I would agree I would be the biggest PIA with BMW NA until I got my voucher. I kept it on my "to do" list and kept forgetting I guess luck won out in my case.

Now to decide which track. Anyone driven either?
