Most people only drive one vehicle, but you are allowed to drive two, and most of the time they don't care if you drive more than that unless its really busy. I recommend driving the 335i sports line for sure, its the red one. I wanted to try the audi as well but didn't get the chance when I had it. Enjoy!

I asked them directly. It does not apply to "sold" orders--this includes orders palced but not delivered. If your production number sheet shows Priority 1 customer sold (like mine) you can't apply the $1000. discount.
Is it negotiable with dealer ?..I am going to try and bring in my code but doubt it. I did apply for the $750. owner loyalty and that was no problem, Just lease or fiance thru BMWFS (as little as &7500. on a purchase) and its yours. |

I got unlucky and had a dealer rep riding shotgun (this was early June) - this was bcz an old guy went right before me and disappeared for over an hour - they even had the cops looking for him. I had already driven one but really wanted to try the red sport line to test the ride of 19" wheels. It didn't ruin it for me w/a rep onboard - in fact, he encouraged me to drive faster. I was tip-toeing around a blind bend and found a cop w/someone pulled over, so glad I was taking it easy at that point.

Can anyone here confirm that the $1000 discount is applied as a "rebate" AFTER the FULL out the door purchase price of the vehicle is calculated?
Or did you guys have it knocked off the PRE-TAX sales price? Thanks.

the $1000 is treated like a cap reduction, you have to pay taxes on it, but my CA applied it towards the acquisition fee and the rest went into cap reduction where I paid less tax on it.

I ordered on Saturday and get to the event today where he now tells me it might not work since I bought the car a few days before. I bought the car based on the prices quoted and written on that sheet. So I told the CA I am confident he will do what he needs to do.

I called usaa about combining the BMW drive event and their discount. They say the only way they can't be combined is if you finance through BMWfs. Any other bank including usaa will let you combine the too rebates

When you read the small print it clearly states it's not to be honored on cars ordered before the event. The fault lies with my CA who wrote it into my sales sheet. I sent a follow up email to him which states: "Angel, FYI, I was sent my information regarding the redemption: "As a special thank you for your participation, we would like to offer you a limited-time $1,000 BMW Drive for Team USA Allowance, good toward the purchase or lease of a new 2012 or 2013 BMW model.* Your redemption codes for this special offer are: OL12068-00XXXXX / OL12131-F30XXXX." I really would like this resolved soon. I extended my comfort level for the payment agreed to of $(edited)and when mentioning how I can wait, you said with the $1000 Test Drive Event, it was the perfect time. Putting $1000 back into my payment as an increase is simply not an option. If your hands are tied and BMW corporate is causing the problem, we will need to be more creative. Thanks for your efforts, -Jameson I am being nice about it. His manager can make it go away by finding $1000 somewhere else, giving me a build allowance to put back into the car, hell-offer me the more loaded Sport '12 loaner they have for the same payment, or offer me at least $1000 in parts such as wheels, snow tires. etc. It should not have to get nasty if any of those things are offered.

Can anyone else comment on how their taxes were applied w/ the discount(s)? Did you pay tax on the FULL negotiated price, then remove the rebate incentive after that price, then that was your total? Or was it treated as a reduction in the price of the car and taxed after rebates were applied??

I haven`t paid it yet but my CA calculated like yours. Negotiated price+doc fee+tax-$1000. He said that it is a rebate so it is applied after tax.

Picked up our car on 8/9 and the $1000 allowance came off BEFORE taxes - you don't pay the state tax on money you didn't spend. Hope that helps!

I should add that it is an allowance, not a rebate - a typical rebate may be treated as "cash back" so that, in the state's view, it's money you are getting and then immediately spending, so you pay tax on that. This "allowance" is more like a "discount" - it's not cash you could theoretically choose to take with you, so it's not money you are spending. Sorry if that isn't a great explanation - point is, if your CA is treating it as a rebate and doing the calculation so that you would pay tax on the amt of this allowance, that is incorrect.

Automotive Sales Bulletin: Drive for Team USA Program Eligibility page 2 it states: "incentive is taken off final negotiated price." Which really means nothing, and could be interpreted multiple ways... WTF
