BMW Test Drive Event

[Feersty]

The BMW Ultimate Drive for Susan G. Komen is coming up again this year. It is a special event BMW puts on around the country where you can test drive any car in their lineup (except for the M's and some manuals). For each mile you drive BMW will donate $1 on your behalf to the Susan G. Komen breast cancer research fund.

You have to be 21 to do it and of course have a valid driver's license. I think they'll have an event in Charlottesville and they'll most likely have one at FedEx field or Sterling BMW. Go to either or both.

I've done this three times and it is always pretty fun. You've gotta sign up early though because the cool stuff gets picked pretty quick. Now that the new 5 and 6 series are available as well as the Z4 this should be a really fun ultimate drive.

Not sure the day of the event, but signup opens for 22801 and 22152 on 18 April 2005.

Here is last year's thread:

I would highly recommend this. Last year it was in C-ville and was a lot of fun. I'm having trouble finding the actual date of the event, but it probably tells you once registration opens.

[Mike]

definite blast, i'll probably take a day off for this

[Feersty]

Yeah definitely can't wait for this, hopefully more MMers can go. Fingers crossed for that 545i manual. Definitely gonna drive the 7 again too.

[Feersty]

So who is going to drop everything to do this? I know I would...

[CaptainHenreh]

I *think* I've got a 545i at 9 and a 330Ci at 10.

Got a weird server error, then when I tried again it said I already had a reservation, so it must have gone through. Anyone get a confirmation email or something?

[Mike]

yeah i got an email.

[Feersty]

I believe you can, I intend on doing it at least. The 22152 doesn't open till 25 April so yeah I will get on it.
