Is that like an upgrade package?

The voucher for 1 day M school is with all M2CS. You can use that as credit towards any school you qualify for based on experience. You can also apply BMWCCA discount on top which is 15% if I remember correctly.

This is correct. I have done just this in the past. You can also combine other certificates such as the free 1/2 day loyalty related schools that are sometimes given out to loyal owners (happened during calendar 2020 for repeat buyers). I actually used 2 1/2 days that I had to get a big discount and then tacked on the CCA discount.

Finally, you can apply for the BMW Credit Card and get a 20% discount instead of 15% off, if that interests you, as well.

Doesn't have anything to do with BMW Marketing. It's automated and comes to the email associated with your owner account - if your dealer doesn't set it up correctly when setting up ConnectedDrive and the other owner registration stuff, the email won't come through and you have to call and get the voucher or just call and set it up.

Well, however BMW wants to deal with it, it is a huge fail for BMW. They should educate their sales people/finance people about the M driver's package, if this is the case.

This is awesome. What an unexpected treat. I am also a CCA member so I might upgrade.

However, I live in middle of the country, nowhere near any of the locations. I spent all my money on the M2CS that I am too cheap to fly out to the school!

I think you have a full calendar year or longer to use this voucher. You need a plane ticket and 1 night at a hotel for a priceless experience. Save $500 for the 1 Day M school and enjoy!

I got the loyalty driving school email ($849 credit)... does that mean I'll have two different credits I can apply towards my next class?

Yep! And make sure you ask about discounts. BMWCCA members and BMW CC holders get nice savings especially if it's 2 day M-school.

That's what I did! Used loyalty voucher plus voucher for m drivers package and CCA discount. Woman on the phone said she couldn't apply 3 things so had to get someone else, but got it done.

Nice! Didn't realize they were doing any in Virginia when I had checked the scheduled. I'm also setting up for the advanced school. Will probably do California though for the weather and spas for the wife.

Was your loyalty voucher a different number? I got an email for the drive experience and one entitled "BMW Owner Return" but the certificate numbers looked identical.

msmatt · 03-28-2021, 08:33 AM

How’d you all get a Loyalty voucher? Something you applied for?

I assumed the loyalty one was the owner return...that's the one I got. M drivers package certificate and owner return certificate.

Who did you guys call to get your vouchers mailed to you?

Bimmed Out · 03-29-2021, 11:04 AM

I called and emailed BMW Genius a few times to inquire (and then complain). You shouldn't have to work hard to get something that is supposed to come with paying up for a flagship car. Anyway, they turned it over to BMWNA, which called me last week and I received the email with voucher code today. I have been truly impressed by the near perfection of this car and my buying experience, but it was a bit of a pain to get the voucher.

Well said. It is a total flop on BMWNA behalf with making the owners jump through hoops to get their vouchers when they should know that every CS came with the package on the window sticker. Glad you got it sorted out.

I did this to get my ball rolling.

Just call the performance school. I called and gave them my ViN and they took care of getting it verified quicker.

Wah · 03-29-2021, 11:49 AM

I just called them... the lady that answered couldn't find my name or email (I've done PCD and 1 day M School!!!).

She took down my VIN and said she would get back to me. I am planning on using the credit towards the M4 GT4 experience in May. I really hope they don't give me any trouble combining my vouchers and CCA discount.
