I am going to enter my car into a company contest

This is when the contest for my car is.
I am going to present my car along with the story of my Euro delivery. Also going to point out features of my car like Logic 7 and Comfort access. What else should I point out?


Here is the memo:

SWEETEST RIDE COMPETITION
When: June 21st
Where: The Parking Lot.
Enter your ride and see how it compares to your fellow employees' .
The winner will be selected by employee vote, based on detailing, dressed up engine compartment, performance accessories, overall sweetness, and audio system.
Only cars with a sticker price under $50,000 can enter ; sorry no Lamborghinis or Ferraris.

and the empty spare tire trunk, Bluetooth (handsfree baby),Passenger rear view mirror tilt down in reverse, also lock someone inside your car with the remote and they cannot get out, and the roll down windows/mirrors with remote (i guess that is CA).

edit: what is the grand prize (a promotion )

Sounds like a rice competition. Anyway, I would think cars would be a touchy subject for companies to bring up... "let's all compare our cars"??

Anyway, I think it's cool that emergency braking makes the brake lights brighter.

Do the "Look at me, I am driving without the key" trick that you can pull off on CA and non-CA equipped cars...

In non-CA cars, start the car like you'd normally do, then shut off, remove the key fob and immediately restart the car (foot on brake, finger on button). You can showboat by throwing the key out of the window and proceed down the road to flabbergasted spectators ... j/k

My company does this also. It's mostly classic cars that people have restored and stuff like that. The employees vote on the cars they like the most and there are some trophys. It's just a fun time for people to show off their cars and their work.

Wow never heard of bringing your car to show and tell. I guess you could show them the RFT's. I think you pretty much covered the rest but what does the rest of your competition look like. I could understand if this were from a factory aspect but I assume that there will be some heavily modded cars. Think of what you could do with a simple Honda and even $10k spent. Good luck!

you could also point out that it brings you women

uhm ok let's see... auto headlights/auto wipers, puddle lights, side mirror goes down when you put it in reverse,
if you want to get technical then you could talk about the stuff on the bmw website like the auto hill hold, adaptive brakelights, brake-fade assist, etc.

And simply that it is the latest and greatest 3 series BMW.

Low emissions that surpass legislation etc. Passive and active safety features.

Best of luck too by the way in the competition. We are right behind you.

Not a comment on the original poster but I've seen some E90s with dipsticks...usually holding onto the steering wheel.

Point out the brake-drying when it rains, hill start assist, comfort stop, etc. If you really want to go into detail, pull out the flashlight from the glovebox.

Well aside from the rims, the car is stock. So I have high hopes too but someone else might win on mods. This one guy has a nissan sentra that's completely pimped out, in and out, from engine to system.
