Remember that occasionally the limo is available for lowly SE's on a SFO-YYZ-YHZ routing, despite missing the connection (by hours) the limo might have saved 15 seconds of time for.

Can someone please inform me why BMW service is such a big deal? I presume it's to save on some walking, but after a 15 hour flight, I don't mind a nice walk, and I have, on a few occasions, declined the offer. If I really want to be driven in a high end car, I leverage a limousine service to take me home/to the airport.

I just arrived on a IAH-YYZ flight with a connection to YWG. As I reached the top of the ramp, there was a concierge with my name. I was concerned about a potential missconnect or re-route that would hurt my EYW plans. She was in fact there to escort me through and take me in the BMW. According to her, they are expanding the service!

She walked with me to the immigration area and stood nearby as I met with the officer. BTW, he used my NEXUS card which previously, they wanted my passport and permanent resident card. They have recently reconfigured the immigrations area (within the last week or so).

How many passengers do they fit into the BMW? I am travelling as a group of 3 and if the concierge (and driver) are also in the car it sounds like a tight fit! What if there are other passengers on the same flight that also qualify?

From what I gather, the car service is sporadic between now and Fall-2018 .I also gather that the service is randomly offered. In your situation, I wouldn't expect a the service to be offered; if it was offered, I would expect 2 cars to be present.

Looks like they're going to commit more publicly to the service for Signature Service by year end. Will be interesting if they can effectively manage the volume.

Photos are...misleading. You are not picked-up at the aircraft nor are you dropped-off at the next one. More like building to building.

If getting 2% off a new BMW purchase doesn't make your time in an airport better, I don't know what will.
