BMW of Bakersfield always loves to see two popular brand names combine in a mutual effort to give away really cool, free stuff. We're guessing that consumers in the Bakersfield area share this feeling as well. That's why we're excited to tell you that BMW has teamed up with world-renowned ski equipment company K2 to bestow a pair of K2 Limited Edition BMW M Design Edition skis upon a handful of lucky snow-lovers.

Unfortunately, the BMW-styled skis aren't available for the general public to purchase. So those who are looking to get their hands on them, listen up! As part of its BMW xDrive Cup contest, the generous automaker is giving away 500 pairs of the limited edition skis. In order to get yourself in the prize pool, follow these simple rules:

-          Purchase a ski pass at a participating BMW xDrive Cup destination
-          Enjoy the fresh powder as you swoosh down the slopes
-          Take note of your ski pass number
-          Register and enter your number at: http://www.bmw-xdrive-guide.com/xd_en/bmw_xdrive_cup/login

Once you've completed these steps, BMW will award you badges and the rest is simple. The more badges you acquire, the better chance you have to win. Oh, and BMW of Bakersfield hasn't even mentioned the best part yet. In addition to giving away cutting-edge, limited edition skis, BMW will also hand out a trip to Sweden for BMW Ice Fascination Training and, get this, an all-new BMW X1.

To those winter fanatics who choose to participate, we wish you the best of luck. But no matter whether you enjoy plunging through the powder or prefer to stay warm and toasty inside, BMW of Bakersfield welcomes you to stop by 5400 Gasoline Alley Drive Bakersfield, CA 93313 and let us know how we can help improve your new BMW driving experience.
