1 year driving an X1? Why not give them an X6 or something equivalent?

They are BMW fans, go the Welt to look around and just happened to be the 20,000,000 visitors.

Get to drive a new X1 for a year! This family will never forget this experience, ever.

What people don't know or forget is that you reward customers loyalty and passion for your business and products in ways they cherish.

Exceedingly awesome.

I was expecting/hoping BMW to give the X1 for free completely. But hey! I surely would not be complaining if BMW lends me a car for 1 year for simply visiting.

I thought that was odd/cheap as well. Maybe it is some tax loop hole in Germany though. Could save the winner coming up with several thousand Euros or it could just be BMW trying to get some press and save a few thousand Euros.
