Along with this announcement, BMW started an Instagram competition, starting with this Instagram photo - https://instagram.com/p/8wisnpltJe/?taken-by=bmwusa If you look at the bumper there is an Instagram tag that leads to an Instagram account - https://instagram.com/72to16/ The @72to16 instagram account states that it is a competition to be 1 of 5 people to drive the M2 in Thermal, CA. Once you went through the riddles, it brought you to a final Instagram account that linked you to a registration page, which had the official competition rules about when winners would be notified and how. Does anyone happen to have a link or copy of the official rules? When the competition ended on Oct 27th BMW removed the landing page and I have not been able to access the rules since then.
