Active Giveaways / BMW Car Club of America
1988 BMW M3
WTW review incomplete — WTW has confirmed a current campaign, but complete terms and prize verification are unfinished. Official ARV is not stated on the raffle page, so no value is shown. The rules only reserve a right to substitute a cash prize of equal value. The final ticket day is stated as Tuesday, December 15th on the 2026 Classic Raffle page; the year is clear from context, but no time of day or time zone is stated, so the exact close is unconfirmed. The drawing is "this December" at BMW CCA National Headquarters. Tickets ($25 each) are sold only to active, logged-in BMW CCA members aged 18+. The cost and renewal terms of the required membership have not been reviewed for this listing, nor has the organizer contact page. If fewer than 5,500 tickets are sold, the club may refund all tickets and not award the car; it may also substitute a cash prize of equal value. Mail-in ticket requests use an official form that is not available on bmwcca.org to review, so mail deadlines are unconfirmed. Official campaign photos show a silver 1988 E30 M3. They are labelled campaign imagery because the page does not use explicit "actual unit" wording. Current page confirms identity, ticket price, membership requirement, drawing month and photos; ARV, exact closing time, mail form, membership cost and organizer contact remain unresolved and are disclosed. Closing deadline is unresolved. No exact closing time is assumed; check the official campaign. Official campaign illustration; the actual prize vehicle may differ.

Entry-method deadlines
Not yet reviewedThe rules give the final ticket day as December 15th for purchases and say mailed requests received after the official closing are excluded, but give no postmark cutoff and send mail requests to an official form. That form is not on any public page: the raffle buy link and the ticket-history link answer HTTP 301 to the member login (R07 and R08), the ops manual link does the same (R09), and the Dream Car raffle page (R10) links no form either. Redirects and logins are not followed, so the mail form and any postmark or receipt terms on it are unread; the mail-deadline facets are unresolved for that source-access reason.
