I got home tonight to find a UPS box from BMW Motorrad on the side porch. Inside I found a bunch of cool swag:
-- A sturdy, leatherette box with the Motoman logo and BMW Motorrad embossed "for your motorcycle papers and receipts." About the size of a large shoe box. Very nice, very elegant.
-- A very heavy and very cool R32 Lucite paperweight "available nowhere else in the world." It is very, very cool. Smudges easily, though. I don't know how the hell they did it, but it is a lovely 3-D image of BMW's first motorcycle. Did I say very cool? I'd have easily paid $50 for it.
-- A nice, zippered leatherette map case, with a BMW roundel and BMW Motorcycles on it. Inside were a BMW spiral note pad, a small map of the US with all of the dealers marked on it, a nice little plastic ballpoint pen with a roundel on the clip and dealer directory.
-- A map measurement tool. I haven't figured out how exactly to work it yet. No hurry.
-- A DVD with racing and historical footage "never seen in the US." Haven't seen it yet, so it still hasn't been seen in the US. Or in Austin, anyway.
-- A nice little hardcover book, "BMW Motorcycles: The Evolution of Excellence" by Kevin Ash. Looked nicely produced, but the R1200R is not in it. $30 at Whitehorse Press.
-- A decent leather key fob with a BMW roundel in it that sells for $15 at Sierra BMW.
Also included was the roadside assistance card and policy. I haven't put my lawyer eyes on it yet, but will advise (entirely unofficially, of course).
I don't remember anything like this when I bought my last Beemer. It's a nice touch.

I got mine yesterday. Just as Alan said "Nice Touch" I was impressed by the qaulity of everything even the leather like boxes.
I don't know what I'll do with most of it, closet I guess.
I am finding that I much prefer being special to not being special.
