C63 AMG owners gift from MB?
Does AMG send out yearly gifts for your car? When I had my BMW, I got a picture of my car for the first year anniversary, then they sent me a CF pen for my second year anniversary. Just interested to see if MB does it also. If they don't we know what measures BMW is going through to make sure they have satisfied customers.

Thanks! Not yet. I had to cancel my order with dealer #1 because they were telling me it would be built in January and I would get it in April!
Dealer #2 is only ~20 minutes away so I went there and they have an open slot and I should get it late February or early March! The only thing that I need to do is pick which color I want. Diamond white or Pearl Blue. I haven't seen the blue and that's what scares me! There's a shade of blue on the M3 that looks purple in the sunlight and I don't want that!

Hmm, BMW really goes through a lot of trouble to keep their customers. No wonder they're selling so many cars.

I love Blue cars, but the capri blue, for instance, is nice, but it seems to have some of that purple shade to it. It's not really midnight blue enough for me. Although, it's still nice.
I don't know what Pear Blue is. I would have to check it out. Personally, I would opt for the Diamond white, that shade looks awesome on the coupe.
In my experience with MB, I don't feel the love per se, but I like their cars, so I drive them.

I'm sure you're excited. It's hard to wait, I imagine.

Also, It's just another marketing scam from BMW. This is how they impress their customers into buying another BMW. The new C63 sold me the second I laid eyes on it! The wait is going to be killer!!!

I got a year and 2nd year anniversary gift from BMW aside from the welcome gift. I didn't get one after that.
I haven't received anything from MBZ yet. Not even the supposedly free Basic AMG driving course. I even have to email them about giving me access to the AMG owners site since my VIN # is not found when I tried to register online. It is already 5 weeks since the delivery of my 2012 C63 and enjoying every moment I am driving it. Wait and see.

If your looking for gifts from Mercedes-AMG, maybe you should joined the Mercedes-Benz Club of America. I get stuff all the time, thru events and gatherings from the club. And as far as AMG goes, I've received AMG license plates, ball caps, posters, polo shirt, AMG jersey and AMG book containing a DVD and history of AMG. You guys really need to join the AMG Private Lounge; http://www.mercedes-amg.com/privatelounge They also give out gifts for the most posts during the month, offer discounts to the AMG Academy, etc. Check it out.

I can say that in my chapter of MBCA, besides the President, I'm the only other AMG owner that shows up at the events. I don't feel that it's a waste of money. We have DIY events, drives, meetings, dinners, autocross events, etc. I really enjoy what my chapter offers, although it would be nice to see a few more AMGs. And the various dealerships, that we are associated with give out freebies all the time. I have recieved numerous stuff from Golf size umbrellas, watches, mugs, pens, t-shirts, etc. I also volunteer to coordinate AMG events for the dealership. I'm a huge AMG enthusiasts, and always networking.

Basing from my observations and as a current PCA and BMWCA member, it looks like MBCA is not as widely popular as compared to PCA and BMWCA. The BMWCA is widely accepted to a lot of Bimmer drivers specially M drivers. They even have some close relationship with BMW USA. They give rebates when you buy or lease a new BMW if you been a member for at least a year prior to buying/leasing the car.

I always thought that BMW did it to try and keep their customers by 'ooing and ahhing' them. I wonder why MBZ won't adopt something like that. I'm not in it for the gifts, it's just interesting that MBZ won't do something like that. I got a CF pen when I had my 3 series, and a USB for the 5er, and 6er.

Congrats on the C63, I'm leaving the BMW family as well into my first MB.

Yup same observations also. As I mentioned from my previous post, even the BMWCA has a close relationship with BMW USA. I also noticed that there are more Bimmer enthusiasts that join actively in the club. There are small gestures from BMW that makes you feel special. I just bought 2 MB for the past month and I haven't received any letter or call from MBZ for thanking me for the business.
Congrats on both cars! How do you like the switch? A letter thanking you showing some appreciation never hurt anyone. I mean, look at Bimmerpost.com, it is much more active then this site. BMW has more of a following because advertises performance and handling while MB advertises luxury and safety. If you notice, many new M3 owners are 16 year old's with a car that daddy bought them. They really don't know what anything else is.
The average age of a 3 series buy is 40 but the younger folks also tend to buy BMW's for their performance.
