I'm assume there's a limit to how many BMWNA is giving out; they dealer probably has to submit a form to them and then they'll send you the gift-card.

The BMW Test Drive Guidelines call for: "Start with your current car: Take it for a test drive to establish a baseline for your experience. Try to be as objective as possible. • Schedule a test drive. This ensures that a Client Advisor will be available to spend an appropriate amount of time with you when you arrive. • It’s a good idea to schedule several test drives for the same day, so you can compare different models back-to-back, while they’re fresh in your mind. Be sure to give yourself at least one hour with each vehicle. l Real-world driving: It’s important that your test drive simulates the way you really drive. If your daily commute involves a lot of highway driving, be sure to take your test vehicle on the highway. l Bring a friend. They can provide a sounding board to discuss features and benefits." This is similar to the time-share condo sales pitch where you are tortured for an hour and then get a dinner at Denny's.

I test drove the X5 3.0i and 4.8i today, the whole process was about 1 hour and 45 minutes although 15 minutes of that was the sales manager chatting me up.

My local store, BMW Seattle, has reponded with two emails wanting to set up a test drive. I want to test the E89 Z4 sDrive35i with the DCT and they don't have one in inventory.

I called my sales girl about it (she knows I have no interest in buying a car right now); she said she has the forms, so just to come in this weekend and I can test drive anything I want while there.

The card will be sent to you automatically (could take up to 8 weeks). The sales person needs to electronically state that you came in for the test drive and that sets the process in motion for getting the card.

I think not since I have no intention of buying a new Bimmer. Why waste my time and that of a sales person for a tank of gas.

I signed up to drive the new Z4 and only put in my E-mail address so I don't have to worry about phone calls. I figure one car should only take an hour and I don't know about the rest of you but I don't make $50 an hour driving bimmers, so not a bad way to make some money.

Don't hold your breath for that $50 gas card. I just got back from my dealer and he read me the bulletin they received about the Amex promotion. The promotion was intended for a limited specific target market who were sent invitations by mail to participate in the offer. As with many things these days, it immediately went viral via twitter/facebook/forums etc and BMW was overwhelmed with responses.
In short, in order to qualify you need to have the invitation from the mail. Notice the wording from the website link: Quote:
