Question about the raffle. After sending in the ticket form and $$, did you guys get anything back from BMW CCA, like a confirmation or actual tickets??

What raffle?!?!?

What raffle?!?!?

Every year BMW Car Club of America has a raffle for members. If you are a member, you should have been notified by now via mail. If not, call them asap because I believe there is a deadline to enter (I think mid June). Drawing is in July.

Odds are 1 in 2800, which is pretty low! Last year, there were 15 winners! Now, the prize is not an actual M3 - you win the cash equivelent (about $47,000). I just called BMW CCA, and it's interesting that all of last years winners just took the cash. Most used the $$ to pay off their current cars, or bought new cars of a "lesser" model. In which case, you still pocket some decent change.

15 winners???

 

[Mr. The Edge]

15 winners???

Yep--you're guaranteed a 1 in 2800 chance of winning, so the amount of winners is determined by the number of entries, divided by 2800.

Oh, that's cool. I thought 1:2800 was determined by the total number of raffles...

Just called BMW CCA, and you can't just order raffle tickets over the phone. However, you can ask them to send you the form with which you can order the tickets. Deadline is July 10th.
