1974 in Red Cross Raffle

[mikem]

Got this in the mail today.

What is "The BMW Performance Center?"

Is it the Spartanburg factory, or some independent shop?

Why a '74 and not a roundie?

Actually, they're selling it for $ 100,000. Just one of the buyers gets to drive it though.

The BMW Performance Center is across the road from the Spartanburg Factory. It is owned by BMW and it has a small track where they do the M school and other driving events. There is also an off-road course for the X3 and X5 owners.

I went to Oktoberfest 2000 and many of the driving events were done there.

the car in the ad isnt a 74.

you don't know the color, you don't know about the 'custom interior'

(by what scottt said) and you only get a ride in it for $100 bucks???

am i missing something?

if not, then i'd rather donate $100 to the faq and drool...

the car was donated to the red cross for free and it was tired. the performance center is rebuilding it top to bottom with new interior, engine, suspension...the works. should be a pretty unique 02.

they are raffling it off for the red cross. 1000 tickets will be sold for $100 each. you get to keep the car, not just drive it. read the rules on the image above, it isn't just for a drive in the car....too many fumes in that garage, dave!

the car being raffled off IS a '74 squarie, not a roundie as pictured above.

there was a sidebar about it in last month's roundel.
