BMW will give one hundred police motorcycles to the City of New York to help
replace equipment lost in the New York Police Department motor pool located
near the World Trade Center. BMW will also donate $1 million in cash and ten
new BMW X5 Sports Activity Vehicles to the Red Cross for its national relief
efforts. The total donation is valued at $2.4 million.
I drive a BMW, and it hit home for me, and made me pleased.
