Anybody part of this thing or attended the events or activities?
Is it worth looking into/tracking?

I have been a part of it for 5 years now. They do not have many good events on East Coast of U.S. I did attending one event and it was well executed and worth the money spent. My plan was to attend more events, but COVID-19 pretty much shut them down except for virtual events.

Agreed, most of the events are in other countries with little or no events in my region. I've been a "member" for two years and haven't gotten any benefits from it.

I've been a member for a year and have "attended" all the online events.
Each event has been first class with foods drinks and discussions about the places foods etc. I'd strongly recommend taking advantage of it.
The latest event "Tillingham wines" is this Friday and that was a freebie which was very unexpected.
The next one is a drive around Scotland, which appeals to people that DON'T stay in Scotland lol I stay here and find pothole avoidance an unnecessary inconvenience!!!

Would recommend taking advantage of the events as they are very well organized.

Anyone that bought the car new. Some cars, if ex-bmw/management, were not registered with impulse so the next owner can - as was the case with my LCI - I wasn't expecting it but about 6 months in I received a letter to sign up! I'm not sure if regular BMW approved used gets the option to.

It's dealt with in Munich. They're really helpful and very efficient. Email is service@pure-impulse.com
I used that and was signed up that day with the pack arriving the following week or so.
Also noreply@bmw-i-pure-impulse.com is the email for events etc
Email service with your vehicle identification number and they can check if it's eligible, which it should be, then they do the rest.
