Monday, Sept. 25 & Tuesday, Sept. 26, I participated in the BMW Ultimate Drive. Monday I was at Roseville BMW and Tuesday I was at Niello BMW in Sacramento. Tuesday evening I was one of the drivers who helped transport the cars to Sonnen BMW in San Rafael. We were given box lunches to eat before the trip and then were transported by shuttle bus back to Sacramento. We were also told that we had to stay behind the lead car and in front of the support van at the rear and that we were responsible for our own speeding tickets. Of course, none of us were speeding!!!
Following is the description of this years drive. I raised about $200 in my 2 days of driving. It was great fun. If they ever come thru your town, take the opportunity to drive some of the cars. You would have to inquire at your local BMW dealer (if you have one) as to the dates or you can search for BMW Ultimate drive on the internet. There are 2 fleets of cars each year, one goes across the northern half of the U.S. and the other goes across the southern half. This year they are going from the east coast to the west coast. Next year they will probably go the other direction.
Come celebrate the 10th Anniversary of The Ultimate Drive® with BMW and our partner, the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation, by driving a new BMW vehicle of your choice. Choose from the sporty 2006 3 Series or the luxurious 7 Series, or better yet take them both out for a thrilling test drive! For every mile you drive BMW will donate $1 on your behalf to Komen. Since the program’s inception in 1997, The Ultimate Drive® has raised over $9 million dollars for breast cancer research, education, screening and treatment programs. In 2006 you can continue to make a difference by taking a test drive to help us reach our 10th Anniversary goal: donating a grand total of $10 million!

This is the signature car. Everyone that participated signed their name on this car. It holds about 34,000 signatures.
It is hard to take a close-up without a tripod! For what it's worth, this is my signature on the car.
Following are some of the cars that were available to drive. We made quite a hit with the colorful paint jobs.
The following pictures are views from the X3 at the start of our caravan to San Rafael.
