2007 Susan G Komen - Ultimate Drive for the Cure

1996 328ti · #1 02-24-2007, 06:53 AM

For the eleventh year in a row, BMW will partner with the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation in the BMW Ultimate Drive program. As part of the program, fleets of specially marked BMWs travel across the Country to increase breast cancer awareness and raise funds for breast cancer research. Participants are invited to test drive one of these special BMWs. In return, for every mile these cars are test-driven, BMW donates $1 to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation to aid in the fight against breast cancer. The test drives are free to the participants. There will also be lots of information on breast cancer awareness, early detection, etc. In addition, a community resident is honored for his or her work in the fight against breast cancer. To participate in the Ultimate Drive for the Cure, call 1-877-4-A-DRIVE or visit BMW’s website, www.bmwusa.com, to make your reservation. Of course, you can also just stop by that day and drive as well, there will be plenty of spots available.

Eight drivers are needed for Passport to Bel Air (4/17/2007).
Transport leaves at 5:00 pm.
Get there early to drive the Hydrogen car.

I had a lot of fun at MoS at this event.

Got to drive the 335 hardtop convertible (that someone backed into as I was waiting to park it

...it was still being driven the next day when a colleague went to Arlington for the same event), the Z4 & the 650i.

@1996 328ti - Which one is the hydrogen one? 7?

Sorry, I didn't see this earlier...I hope you got either the 335 or the 6-series.

They were the best of the lot in my opinion, but then again I am a 10 year old pretending to be a grown up

Since you already drove the 3, try to get the 650 (either one). It's damn nice.

If not, get there early and get the 335 hardtop convertible. That's the one that has had the highest demand as far as I know.

I decided to go with the Z4 (hardtop)... more close to my style.

Fun drive last night as the group of transporters following the leader got lost !! All the Zs stuck together and arrived first !!!

Thank you Steven for giving me the opportunity to help.

Proudly marked the leader car with "La Strega" signature !!
