A new BMW 3 Series was up for grabs at BMW of Santa Maria this weekend during a contest for local residents.

Santa Maria, CA -- (SBWire) -- 02/23/2012 --BMW of Santa Maria and KSBY hosted an event this weekend that offered thirty random KSBY viewers the chance to “Roll the Dice” and win a new BMW 3 Series. KSBY, a local news station, gave their viewers the details during a Super Bowl commercial, which then led to thousands of online submissions.

The lucky thirty participants were chosen randomly from those Super Bowl submissions, and were instant winners of a $50 gas card. The contestants then had the opportunity on Saturday, February 18th, to visit BMW of Santa Maria and roll five dice for a chance to win big. Each dice had a BMW of Santa Maria logo on one side, and all five die would have to show that logo in order to win.

Unfortunately, no one won the new BMW 3 Series, but each person walked away with the $50 gas card and BMW of Santa Maria plans to give local residents another chance next year.

On a side note, BMW of North America is now holding their own BMW 3 Series contest, which is open to all U.S. residents. The contest, “Zero to Desir3 in 5.9 Seconds” is a video contest and is running now through March 9th, at which point thirty finalists will be chosen and a public vote will then take place.

BMW of North America is looking for videos with a running time of about 5.9 seconds illustrating the contestants’ “desire” to have a new BMW 3 Series Sedan. Submissions are being accepted online at BMW of North America’s Facebook page and on YouTube.com.
