I may be crazy, but it's worth a try. This letter will be sent to BMW's North American headquarters in New Jersey. The squeaky wheel gets the grease!
To Whom it may Concern:
My name is Matthew Jung, and I am a twenty year old student at Eastern Washington University. I am currently studying English and History, hoping to travel after school before beginning a career in firefigting. As I am sure you know from personal experience, being a student also entails not having much money.
As something of a car enthusiast, I have fallen in love with BMW's entire line of vehicles. From the classic 6-series to the 850 to Team Polizei's M5 - with their provacative styling and promise of superb performance the BMW badge never fails to capture my attention. My first real exposure to BMW has been my good friend's 1984 633Csi. The "first class" lines and smooth performance of this 6-series gem never fail to thrill when driving, riding passenger, or just admiring it on the road. Although I have some hope of acquiring this car, I currently drive a 1990 Honda Accord. The Honda has been good to me, but at 230,000 miles things are wearing out. Of course, as an economical family sedan, it could never fully deliver the performance I crave.
The purpose of my writing you is to ask a favor. Once out of school, I hope to begin a car collection ranging from classic American muscle cars to the most exotic offerings from Europe. I cannot tell you how thrilled I would be to begin that journey with BMW. It may sound incredibly presumptuous of me to ask for a car - especially one of the most advanced vehicles in the world today, but it is worth a shot. Not everyone can afford the premium price demanded at showrooms - many of whom have more enthusiasm for this benchmark company and its cars then a great deal who already own them. If you don't find it possible to donate a vehicle to my cause, a pair of driving gloves would also be spectacular. Please help this student starving for a true driver's car and the Ultimate Driving Machine.
Thank You.

you need to make it sound like BMW is way more superb, let them really know how amazing their cars are. SUCK UP MORE. and then come to canada when you get the car and pick me up! imagine if it worked.
o...i've imagined. many a time. ;)
I'm glad you are finally doing it. I think the letter is superb, you don't suck up too much, but you convey your great love and admiration for their fine cars. If you don't let me drive this car at least once I don't think we can be friends any longer.
Good letter. You may want to begin it with something like "Please give me a BMW" just to get their attention.
This line is confusing: "Not everyone can afford the premium price demanded at showrooms - many of whom have more enthusiasm for this benchmark company and its cars then a great deal who already own them."
i know. it confounded me too. so i rewrote it. it semed like the right thing to do.
Let me know if it works. This not having a running car is getting old.
someone get married? ;)
