Pretty nice. Coincidentally I just got something in the mail from Porsche today which wasn't nearly as cool as what you got. It was a certificate of authenticity for my car. First thought running my head was why?!?!? It's not as if there's Chinese knock offs and I would someday have to prove I bought a genuine Porsche.

come on eric, you sure you want to drive this heavy piece of metal comared to your e36?
oh i changed it already. it looks ok, not as bright as factory. only hid kits are brighter and i don't want to go that route. quite a compromise with the led i have to say, definitely not as noticeable as the factory more yellowish setup

I didn't get one either. All I get was an email saying " come back to fremont BMW for your future services" etc. I am assuming that your local dealer send you that gift rather than the BMWNA?
I did my M school in SC back in summer. I still get chills talking about it. It was a blast. I was allowed to take one guest, and I took my brother. I love BMW so much more after that event. They really know how to make a lifelong customer.

Oh forgot to add. At the end of the session, they will mail you a DVD of you driving. I don't want to spoil way too much! Just enjoy your trip! I am thinking about going back to do 3 days school.
