It's great but how does somebody get invited in such events?

I honestly wish that I knew exactly... this is my third invite (the first was when a few months before the E90 hit dealerships, it was a test drive of all variations of the E90) and all are at the same place, which is one of the sites for the BMW driving school in Montreal.

I strongly suspect though that initially, it was because I had signed up with BMW Canada on their website for the E90 nation-wide test drive. That was first invite and was open to anyone who got registered for E90 newsletters (after initial press release, but months before the car was in dealerships).

I also later registered for xDrive 2.0 info when the X3 FL came out, possibly leading to the second invite. And most recently, I signed up for some X5 newsletter, which could be why I got this one. But I'm not 100% sure.

So basically, I now sign up for any newsletter, be it BMW, MB, Audi or Porsche.

If that's not it... I somehow got "in their system" ?!

One thing I know regarding regarding these BMW invites, is that it is NOT necessarily sent to owners.

You already drove most of these cars, and you're getting a new X5 in a matter of weeks... so no, you're not
