BMW Drive For Team USA $1,000 Credit

SPJR · 07-25-2015, 06:58 PM

So I've placed my order for a M235 and would like to use this promotion but its not working for some reason?

Has anyone had any success signing up for this on BMW's website? I tried bunch of times but when I go to type in my zip code a list of dealers never shows up.

Here is the link:

Rather than me signing up does anyone have a spare code they're not planning to use that they can give to me?

I just got lucky that one of the dealers told me about the upcoming event when I was shopping around. Then I actually participated in the events at 2 of the dealers...with 1 I had to sign up on the dealership website before I went and with the other I just walked in and drove. If they had sent me 2 codes, I would share the second one with you, but for some reason they only sent one.

hmmm i got an email from my dealer (paul miller) with a code for registration. If it's not working with no code maybe you could email your dealer that you placed your order at and ask for a code

That sucks, I appreciate it though let me know if you get one in the mail

Did they give you a date of when they're having it? I can just drive there and sign up probably.

How it worked at my dealership was that you signed up, went to the dealer and actually participated in it on the scheduled date(or just signed in and left), and then you'd receive the credit. Speak to your client advisor, they'll be able to answer your questions about it.

Works fine for me in chrome, you don't need a code.

Click the link and hit no code. Enter your info, then type in your zip code and click the "search" text next to the zip code box. It should pop up your local dealer and date if it hasn't passed. Click "additional dealers" to see dealers that may have better dates.

Schedule your drive, show up the day of, walk around for a half hour and try a car then go home and you'll get your rebate code emailed to you. I do not believe they are transferrable.

Yeah I know, wasn't working when I was trying yesterday. Just tried it two minutes ago and its working now. Seems like they had something messed up with their website.

How long does it take to get the code? I did the event over a month a ago and still nothing.

Dan GSR · 07-27-2015, 02:41 PM

Does the credit only apply at the dealership that I test drive or can it be used at any dealer?

SPJR · 07-27-2015, 02:42 PM

Can be used at any dealer it's a universal code as fair as I'm aware.

When I've done events I've gotten the code within a day. Check your spam folder, it's possible it either got filtered by your junk email or went to the wrong address. Not sure if they can re-send the code or who you'd have to contact.

Any dealer. It's a BMW USA promotion, the rebate comes directly from BMW not from the dealer (which is why you mention it after you've negotiated your best price).

Dan GSR · 07-27-2015, 05:54 PM

Thanks

Not any dealer... None in my area pop up when entering zip. Only participating dealers I guess... Bummer

Most BMW dealers are participating. They just do it pretty spaced out.

Hey folks,

There is a 60 day time limit that starts after you Test Drive and receive the code. For those ordering it may be tight because of the August Factory shutdown.

Good news, I used my code and received the $500 Build Out credit on a 2015. Taking delivery today.

adema24 · 07-31-2015, 10:32 AM

August factory shutdown?

ralawren · 07-31-2015, 01:40 PM

I believe the Leipzig Factory shuts down for first two weeks in August (like the rest of Europe). I couldn't confirm this was happening in 2015 but it is common. Check with your SA at the Dealer to see how much of a delay the shutdown will cause if any.

SPJR · 07-31-2015, 01:54 PM

From what I heard this is true. In August they shut down for two weeks.

adema24 · 08-01-2015, 01:53 AM

Wow! I had no idea. I'd like a two week vacay
