BMW MOA (value $15,000)

One thing that gets everyone excited is the chance to win some of the fantastic daily Door Prizes or incredible Grand Prizes.

As is the case every year, this year’s top prize is a new BMW. More specifically, a 2019 F 750 GS equipped with a BMW Navigator VI and a set BMW Vario Cases, which altogether retails for more than $15,000.
