Hey.. I got the same spam message and this is a good practice to distinguish a real message from a spam. look at the addresses and the email addresses also, why can't he/she uses a BMW domain name why use gmail and yahoo email addresses, plus search for the postal code abd locate the correct location you'll see that this has nothing to do with BMW, anyway this IS A SPAM MESSAGE AND don't let this sucker to fool you.
