Full and Half Marathon runners stand a chance to win a brand new BMW X1 sDrive20i.

Singapore – BMW Asia today announced their continued sponsorship of the Standard Chartered Marathon Singapore 2012 (SCMS) for the second consecutive year, by providing more than 25 units of BMW cars, with a mixture including; the flagship BMW 7 Series, the BMW 3 Series sedan, as well as sports activity vehicles like the BMW X1 and BMW X5.

Mr Lim Teck Yin, Chief Executive Officer, Singapore Sports Council, and Chairman of the SCMS 2012 Organising Committee said: “BMW’s continued support of the SCMS exemplifies how Corporate Singapore can be involved in sports events to engage their consumers in a meaningful way and help them live better through sports. Through its Pacers’ Programme and Team BMW – BMW has taken customer engagement to a deeper level. This builds brand awareness, affinity and loyalty in the long run. As we see more major sports events introduced in Singapore’s sports calendar, especially with the new Sports Hub opening in 2014, we encourage more companies to consider using sports as a channel to engage their customers.”

“BMW is pleased to be participating in the Standard Chartered Marathon Singapore 2012 for the second year. Contrary to popular belief, marathon running and BMW cars actually have a lot in common. While marathon runners aim to cover as much distance with as little energy spent, BMW cars are engineered to achieve more power without compromising on fuel efficiency and CO2 emissions thanks to the Efficient Dynamics technology,” said Mr Neil Fiorentinos, Managing Director of BMW Group Asia.

The philosophy behind the Efficient Dynamics technology comprises of a highly efficient engine through air and fuel management, minimised energy loss, lightweight design and superior aerodynamics. In principle, these are also core aspects of marathon running; proper breathing techniques, efficient use of energy and lightweight or aerodynamic running gear.

Apart from sponsoring the fleet, BMW Asia will also be providing a brand new BMW X1 sDrive20i for the runners of the Full and Half Marathon (more details as below).

BMW’s Participation in Standard Chartered Marathon Singapore 2012
Similar as before, BMW Asia will be unveiling a series of initiatives aimed at further engaging participants and improving the race experience for SCMS 2012 runners, in the lead up to and during the race on 2 December 2012.
Runners of the Full and Half Marathon will also have a chance to win a brand new BMW X1 sDrive20i by joining Team BMW. This will be complemented with a series of activities including running clinics where runners will be given expert coaching to hone their technique and performance ahead of SCMS 2012.

BMW will also be sponsoring the pacers programme for Full Marathon runners to help them improve and achieve their personal bests. And as the official car, a fleet of more than 20 BMW cars will be deployed to provide medical, logistics and operational support on race day.

Win the BMW X1 sDrive20i
All Singapore citizens and Singapore Permanent Residents, who are 18 years and above as of the date they signed up for either the Full Marathon or Half Marathon race category of the SCMS 2012, will be eligible to win the BMW X1 sDrive20i simply by registering for Team BMW. A point system and random draw will then determine the lucky winner of the BMW X1 sDrive20i, which will be conducted on 12 December 2012.

The BMW X1 is a tremendously popular compact all-rounder that has proved to be a bestseller with more than 300,000 units already delivered worldwide. The stand-out position of the BMW X1 is also reflected in the many national and international prizes bestowed on the BMW X model in recognition for its designed, deriving characteristics and high safety levels, including; Readers’ Choice for Off-Roader of the Year by “OFF ROAD” magazine, Red Dot Designed Award 2011 and 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating, just to name a few.

Now, the new BMW X1 comes equipped with a more powerful engine powered by BMW TwinPower Turbo technology and a broad spread of BMW EfficientDynamics technology fitted as standard to give the sports utility vehicle the tools to further increase its lead over the competition in terms of sporting ability and efficiency.
