BMW Ultimate Drive

The BMW Ultimate Drive is a grassroots program that is currently traveling across the country visiting 210 participating BMW Centers. BMW North America will donate $1.00 to the Susan G. Komen for the Cure® for every mile test driven.  Please come out and support our mission to save lives and end breast cancer forever.  To make sure you get to drive your first choice vehicle, please click here, BMW Ultimate Drive, to reserve the model and time you would like to test drive.   The models available include Z4 Roadster, 328, 335, 535, 550, 650, 750, 760, X3, X5, and X6 (must be 21 and over).  There will also be a M3 and a B7 available.  Test drives for those two vehicles cannot be reserved in advance and will be taken on a first come/first serve basis (must be 25 and over).
