BMW Ultimate Drive Program Rolls Into Dallas May 12

'Friends' Autographed SUV Travels to Dallas to Raise Money and Awareness for the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation

DALLAS, May 11 -- Dallasites who've always wanted to test drive a BMW can do so May 12 and May 17 while helping raise awareness and money for breast cancer research and community outreach programs. For each mile driven in one of the BMW Ultimate Drive vehicles, BMW will contribute $1 to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation to support breast cancer research, education, screening, and treatment.

Featured in this year's Ultimate Drive program is a BMW X3 Sports Activity Vehicle autographed by all six cast members of the hit television show "Friends." The X3 is the grand prize in a national drawing, and anyone who stops by the two Dallas BMW dealerships during the Ultimate Drive event will have an opportunity to enter. A $10 donation is suggested, but no donation is required to enter the national drawing.
