    The greatest day of the year is back!

    The Susan G. Komen test drive for breast cancer. I's a day that you 1. help save boobs 2. drive a whole variety of BMW's.

    It's a pretty great event. So pick one of the dates, go horse whip some beemers and save some boobs. I will try and make a couple of the ones around here.

    If that isn't enough to get you to go how bout this: there is no one with you on the test drive.

    Ever seen a 7 series go sideways onto an on ramp?

    Info: BMW North America

    How ever much you want to donate. I usually toss in 30-50 bucks. It's in essence free.

    "As a participant, you'll find plenty of BMW models to test drive, such as the thrilling 3 Series Coupe, the sporty X3 SAV® and this year's Signature Vehicle, the new and dynamic X6. For every mile you drive BMW will donate $1 on your behalf to Komen. "

    Re: The greatest day of the year is back!

    Well I'll put it to you this way, the last time I did this I had a brand new 6 series convertible at about a buck 20 on an S turn shaped off ramp SCREAMING for mercy. It smelled like brake and tire for the next 15 minutes.

    How much would you pay to put a brand new 3 series in the air over a bridge injunction?

    an alpina B7 or a 760i would be pretty amusing to cane.

    cars that would be actual fun would only be the 135i coupe, 335i coupe, and M3 coupe. possibly 550i/650i if you're old/enormous

    Re: The greatest day of the year is back!

    There are age limits on some of the cars. I think the Alpina is 30. The 6 series was 25 last time I did it. The 7 too.

    They are all fun in their own ways. The 5 is tail happy like you read about. That thing will slide just cause. The 7 is just straight pimp. It's like driving a lazy boy.

    Trust me, they're all fun cause they're not yours.

    +1, they're all a blast to whip. I was sliding the 535xi last year.

    Don't knock the 7, I took the ramp right by Tulley at, well, let's just say triple digits were involved.

    I was more comfortable pitching that car around then the base 3 series cars.
