AFAIK each dealer has a budget for promotions and key rings and stikers come out of that, its up to the salesman to give the stuff out as he sees fit.

When my wife picked up her Z4 he gave her a free key ring.

if buy a bit of stuff off them you should get one out of them my local dealer is always giving me them every time i change my car

isn't that kind when you've dropped 25k on a new car!

Exactly what I thought Simon. How very generous of them.

May be an idea to ask for the bits next time you place a large-ish parts order. If they see you spending money I'm sure they will cough up the bits.

Nah, but I hope these are free, they looks so good.

Got a free tax disc holder the other day, just asked if he happened to have one lying around and he gave it to me. There's no harm in trying . My local dealer uses most of them on valet cars he said.

Did you ask the parts department?

I use a motorcycle garage not far from Synter. Next time im passing through ill go in and try to blag as many Tax disc holders and stickers as i can from there. I also have a Benhams near me, ill try there for you too. If i get any ill post them out to you or something.

How about Cotswold BMW ones

went in Sytner bmw parts department today for a spigot bearing!
remembering this post i asked if they had any tax disc holders,he went under the counter and pulled one out with a sticker,so yes they are free
ill ask about the keyring next time (got to go back tuesday)

Just got this from the sales department.

It even have a BMW Emergency Service number on it..... thats ACE!

Always fit these to my cars, John my parts contact spoils me even gives me plastic fold up funnels and gloves when i buy top up oil for the Alpina.
Bought a drive couling and a front exhaust bracket for my iS project today replacing the lower arm bushes and a full service monday.
Still looking for a nice rear light grey iS bench and a drivers seat,sold the car 7 years ago and bought it back recently you will see it next year Diamond Black iS H759 TRM.

pm me i work at my local dealer in preston called 'Bowker' and i may be able to pick some up for you and post
thanks
josh

pm sent josh

bowker is where the car was originally sold

My old Sport was from Bowker.

I really want to get one from Sytner Canary Wharf.

Look what I've got

ive got some bowker ones comming since thats where it was originally purchased

Thanks josh

Rear sticker is coming as well.

can anyone find out where mine came from???

I phoned up the dealer where mine originally came from when I first got it and just asked if they could send me some. Couple of days later this fell onto my door mat...





The lady on the end of the 'phone at the dealership was very helpful so anyone else who wants any, I'd recommend just giving them a call - didn't cost me a thing!

don't really understand why anyone would want to put them on their car tbh.

i understand keeping the originals on a clean tidy, standard original car, but i can't see the appeal of modern versions which are obviously retrofit as they have different numbers, web addresses etc

the tzx disk holers in particular are extremely ugly, i have to replace the holder in all my cars with a nice simple plain black from the outside magnetic type. dont see the appeal of half an acre of white plastic being bunged on the screen

Don't put any on then...

im just curious to know where mine came from
