Nice gift from BMW

YoungTurk · 06-02-2017, 06:46 AM

Yesterday received in the mail a small box from BMW with a USB drive shaped like a miniature 'shark tooth' remote. Nice, unexpected surprise.

Took delivery of my wife's X5 in mid March. First BMW since mid 90's. We're very happy with her X5.

i got mine as well earlier this week.. but strangely it wasn't the shark tooth f15 shaped one.. rather it was shaped like the keyfob that i had when i had my 2014 F30 335

from the freebies I've gotten at BMW events...these USB drives hold like 50mb of data. No joke...

2 gigs on mine

Damn, 2GB? Good for four photographs.

Over the past 10+ years of driving BMW's I've accumulated 4 useless USB flash drives, 1 concept art, 2 partial carbon fiber pen which was nice and one of the pens I use in my office (pic attached).

Actual key

on a related note, I bought my M3 used from a very small BMW dealer back in 2010. I complained a few months after the purchase that I'm basically not on their freebies mailing list. So they sent me a M key pouch.

That's the only gift I got ever from BMW (other than the junk I collect at events I sign myself up to). I suppose that's what I get for being frugal and cheap?

Although a nice gesture, nothing to get excited about. Most of my gifts are in the trash.

and conversely, I'm still using my M key pouch. Surprisingly, held up really well for 7 years.
