GREENVILLE, S.C. (May 19, 2015) – For the first time in the history of the annual Car Of Your Dreams raffle, the BMW Car Club of America will offer a grand prize custom-built and tuned with a full complement of performance parts from one of the world’s foremost authorities in BMW tuning—Dinan Engineering. Built, tested, and tuned at their California headquarters, the Dinan Club Edition M4 is unlike any grand prize that has come before. This no-expense-spared M4 boasts 530 horsepower, 504 pound-feet of torque, and a full array of carbon-fiber accessories.
In addition to Dinan, the Club has joined Forgeline wheels and Michelin tires to complete the special car. The M4 features a set of Forgeline GA1R lightweight forged performance wheels wrapped in Michelin Pilot Super Sport Tires for an aggressive look and maximum traction. Along with the upgraded wheels, the Grand Prize M4 features many BMW M Performance Parts carbon-fiber accessories.
The Dinan Club Edition M4 has over $20,000 in performance and aesthetic upgrades, and is valued at $110,000—making it one of the most valuable and powerful M4s on the planet.
“This year, we’re proud to present a Grand Prize raffle car engineered by Steve Dinan, rolling on Forgeline metal and gripping the road courtesy of Michelin. Three of the top names in automotive excitement join the Ultimate Drivers’ Club in bringing you the M4 of your dreams,” said Frank Patek, executive director of the BMW CCA.

MOTORSPORT TRIBUTE GRILLE BADGE OFFER
For this year’s raffle, we have created a special grille badge inspired by BMW USA Motorsport’s throwback race-car livery. The badge is free with each purchase of ten or more raffle tickets, and pays tribute to the 40-year history of BMW NA and BMW USA Motorsport.
It was 40 years ago that BMW opened its North American headquarters—and also launched their U.S.-based motorsports program. Their first major motorsports victory in the U.S. came in 1975 at the 12 Hours of Sebring in the famed #25 3.0CSL race car, piloted by Brian Redman, Allan Moffat, Hans Stuck, and Sam Posey; that win set the tone for what would become an incredibly successful BMW racing program in this country.
Our grille badge pays tribute to these great accomplishments by boasting the numbers 40 and 25, signifying the 40 years of BMW NA and BMW USA Motorsport along with #25, a salute to the number of the 3.0CSL that captured their first victory. But you can’t buy this special limited-edition badge; it’s only available by purchasing ten or more raffle tickets!
