[CSLManual]

Just like any other big organisation, don’t care Unless they think it will affect the bank balance , do your own service work ,spend cash elsewhere , use as much free warranty , ha ha ha but I’ve done this for 12 years..:thumbs:

I'm not sure that's too accurate or fair on BMW, Chad. Had you attended the 10 year anniversary trip you would have seen that BMW went far and above where they needed to.
The time, effort and expense they put into making us all feel welcome was, I thought, absolutely incredible given they didn't really gain anything from it. A tour of the Welt, access to the museum, M division with presentation, took us all out for lunch, brilliant day.

I'm sure in 5 years time the 20th anniversary would be celebrated in a similar manner (Just my opinion!).

They did look after us very well :thumbs:

So they should when you buy 2 m cars and many thousands on parts , :whistle: personally I’ve never been offered a days driving a new range of m cars , unlike after buying C class and getting full day driving full range amg’s, properly fed and watered,at posh hotel golf course in Cheshire,

We where properly looked after by BMW on the 10th anniversary. :thumbs:

Had a free half day at J Palmer from our local dealer & they let me take out a M5 on my own for a decent time.
Not used them for a few years as the mechanic moved on so I can't complain about not being looked after.

given they didn't really gain anything from it

Yes... after all we are not clients and we didn't pay a lot of money for purchasing and maintaining these cars.
Are you taking the piss mate ? Because I have been trying for half a year to organize something and BMW has ignored me epically. I only have 3 M cars, so not important for the franchise.

BMW went above and beyond for the 10th and they should be applauded for that. We had a great time.

Personally, I bought the car for the car. I know how much it costs, how much it'll be to run and the enjoyment I derive from it. I don't expect to receive any special favours from BMW, particularly on a 15 year old car, but if they come, then fine.

Big hand to the guys on this thread for trying to pursue this with BMW. I think it'd be great to repeat 2013 (with or without BMW contribution !) but seriously, you shouldn't be that surprised they're not jumping on this and scrambling to host us ! Not everyone wears the same rose tinted specs....even the manufacturer!
