Any Of You Guys Receive These AMG "Gifts" When You Bought Your Car..Pic!

Hey Gang - I got this a few weeks ago and wondered if any of you guys received this same package? I was pleasantly surprised and really impressed and appreciated the P.R and the thought from MB to send this to me. It includes:
1) A Hardback book 50 or so pages telling of AMG's histroy
2) Another book explaining the benefits of AMG ownership \ experience
3) A 30+minute or long DVD video of AMG cars and history - great footage in it BTW
4) An personally addressed letter to me and signed by MB USA CEO
5) A Saks 5th avenue $100 gift card!

Yeah, got mine. They're doing it with the E63, too. But I think you have to register your VIN with MBUSA or something (?) ... can't quite remember. It's a MBUSA thing.

This sort of little giftie thing on higher priced models is pretty common (Porsche, etc..)

p.s., the letter wasn't personal, it was an electronically signed form letter and just had your name filled in at the top

Trying to make you feel 'special' after dropping a bucket of your coins at their door

Yeah, okay, I know, I know. I'm being way, way too cynical.

The DVD was fun to look at and I gave away the gift card to a good friend who likes shopping at Saks....

Well well well. What makes you so special?
Kidding aside, I didn't receive anything when I bought the ML.

Same with me, this was almost 3 years ago, so it looks like they've upgraded the gifts.

That's awesome! I love extra information and I would love to see that DVD, too bad there aren't any copies on Ebay or any copies a member made. I'll love to see what's on it.

The dealer I bought my car may have registered my car with MBUSA, I know I didn't.

I don't know man, my letter was hand written...j'kidding.

Why don't you drop some dollars on my doorstep instead of coins

Got the same stuff. 100$ at saks is kinda like giving someone a 1$ to go to the grocery store. It doesn't go very far.

Watched the DVD, pretty cool.

They have to give away sweet crap now to get you happy about your overpriced AMG.
Now in my experience BMW is rad, I still get their magazine and cool trinkets, Benz gives out cool stuff in the mail sometimes..but if you want the real deal cool crap. Buy a Porsche and get that owners list. For years to come you will get really cool random P Car branded gifts. Like Pen Sets', Knives, Toys, Books..ect..
