Default BMW Ultimate Drive Registration Starts Today in SoCal!

http://www.bmwusa.com/bmwexperience/...Programs/UDSK/

I registered for the Z4 3.0SI, 650Ci Convertible, and 760Li Sedan. I dont know if they'll let me drive all three since they only give you two spots though..

Anyways if you havent heard about this event, I recommend checking it out. I did one a few years back, basically they give you the car to drive anywhere (alone or with a passenger you brought) and it's a fundraiser, so the more miles you put on the car the more money is donated. They have a suggested route to go on but you dont have to stick with it. They also have both automatic and manual trannies there as well.

Thought I'd share with you guys since registration just began today so you can get your choice for times.

EDIT:
sorry i guess not all of the dealers are available today, the dealerships available for registration today are:
South Bay BMW - Torrance
McKenna BMW - Norwalk
Sterling BMW - Newport Beach
Crevier BMW - Santa Ana

The M cars were removed from the lineup a few years ago. They also use to have manuals, but those were also removed. To drive the higher end cars such as the 650, I believe you have to be 25.

It's really not that much fun, but you do get to drive the cars a bit and it is for a good cause. From what I remember the route that sterling bmw has is pretty week. They have you drive through PCH to HB, but if you go on a weekend, you'll be in traffic most of the time.

that sucks, did they really remove all of the manual transmissions from the lineup? when did that happen? that's a bummer.. i'm reconsidering going now since I wanted to drive the Z4.
