FLEMINGTON, N.J. - May 7, 2015 - PRLog -- BMW VDC Tour Raises $5000 for its Foundation Thanks To Contribution of Flemington BMW

It was a glorious spring day in mid-April; so you would figure that most people in north Jersey would be out and about enjoying the sunshine. Instead, a crew of just over 100 individuals chose to skip the sunshine and take a tour of the BMW VDC (Vehicle Distribution Center) on the Jersey City New Jersey coastline. This group makes up the NJ Chapter of the BMW Car Club of America Foundation...individuals who live, breathe and speak BMW 24/7. They were accompanied by a crew from Flemington BMW whose donations and sponsorship made this day possible.

"I was extremely pleased with the event as a whole," stated Paul Ngai, former VP of the NJ Chapter of the National BMW Car Club of America and organizer of this event. "We have to thank the folks at the BMW VDC Center for opening up their doors and their knowledge to our most distinguished group.  I also have to thank the BMW Performance Center for their donation as well as Byron Brisby Jr., General Manager of Flemington BMW and Executive Vice President of the Flemington Car & Truck Country for sponsoring lunch, providing two all-expense paid, one day driving school packages and generating a spring board to maximizing our donations. "

The BMW Car Club of America Foundation, dedicated to the Promotion of Safety and the Preservation of BMW History, raised $5000 that April 18th through silent auctions and donations from its members (their goal was $3000). At the start of lunch the donation level was at $2980 when Byron Brisby Jr. of Flemington BMW boldly promised to match any additional donations for the remainder of the day. From that point forward $1010 in additional donations were recorded. Brisby matched that amount with another $1010 from his organization bringing them to the $5000 total.

"It was certainly a fun day for all those involved," said Brisby. “ There is so much to be said for all the services this organization provides from a Teen School that teaches safety maneuvering in real word scenarios to a BMW Performance Center designed to fulfill the dreams of driving enthusiast, among others. We're happy to do our part in maintaining the history of this great BMW brand and contributing to these potentially life- saving driving programs."

The BMW VDC Center in Jersey City is one of four BMW VDC Center's in the country and is the point of entry for all BMW's, Mini's and Rolls Royce Models in the United States. The VDC is not only a distribution center but a quality control center for the above mentioned models providing quality assurance for these vehicles before they are delivered to area dealers.
