Just joined the 1addicts group today. I have on order 135i coupe, A/W with nav, comfort, premium sound, black leatherette, sunroof, Msport, SIRIUS radio. I have asked Edmonton BMW to send me to the test drive event but they did not know if it was on or not. When is the event on in Calgary?

I want to go as well, but no luck with the website so far. I have over a hunrded points and some face book hits, but no email yet.
The dealer also told me the only way in was the website. I'm wondering if it is just a random draw, and if you have to reside in calgary to be picked?

Road runner, how many points did you have?

i'm gonna have to work some magic to get in guys...

who knows how, but if I am succesful, I'll get back to you.

last resort would be to just show up and say you ordered one and want to get in.

You will get an email once you're in.
Get down to your dealer and start bitching

Sounds like you may have found the problem!. If they are auctioning them off them that might explain why you are having so many problems. They didn't do that in Vancouver (as far as I know) and getting into the event wasn't all that hard.

No they didn't do that in Vancouver. Maybe they are trying to rule out the tire kickers.

I'm pissed off about it.
Isn't there a way to say, look, I have agreed to pay almost 60k for this car, can I get the bloody invite now?

(noticeably agitated) give me a number, I'll call it right now

Did you write this after the Sharks beat the Flames? Easy does it...take a deep breath there is still lots of games left!
All kidding aside, you have a right to be pissed off. Part of the event is to show you the features and technology of your car and it is valuable info. Plus is was fun wailing on the 135 in the autocross course and trying the traction control in a sanded corner. Keep trying!

The Friday sessions and the ones at 8:00 AM on Saturday & Sunday were wide open in Vancouver.
Try showing up at one of these times with your purchase order and start crying.
