These are the facts as we read them from Tuner Merch's official rules, in our own words. Always confirm the exact address, wording, and deadline against the operator's official rules before mailing.
Two cars, one ticket
Tuner Merch's TMG #7 is a winner's-choice drawing, and both doors are genuinely tempting. Door one: a Nitrous Blue 2017 Ford Focus RS — 350 hp and 350 lb-ft from the 2.3L EcoBoost, 6-speed manual, factory heated Recaros and Brembo front brakes — dressed with 18-inch white Sparco Terra wheels, a Turbosmart blow-off valve, an active-valve exhaust, a gloss-black roof, and an Escort CI Max 360 radar detector thrown in. Door two: a Techno Violet 1997 BMW E36 M3 with a freshly rebuilt S52 (the operator says under 1,000 miles on the rebuild), 5-speed manual, LTW rear wing, Garagistic short shifter and DSSR, Mishimoto intake and radiator, reupholstered Vader seats, and 17-inch Rotiforms — plus an extra $3,000 cash if you pick it. Door three: skip both and take $15,000 cash.
Why it matters
The Mk3 RS was the last genuinely hot Ford hatch sold in America, and Drift Mode made it a legend before it made it a collectible. The E36 is the enthusiast's counterpoint: lighter, purer, and Techno Violet is one of the great BMW colors. Honest caveats apply to both. Early 2.3 EcoBoost RS engines have a well-documented head-gasket history, so service records matter, and a rebuilt engine in a 29-year-old M3 is only as good as its receipts — both cars are awarded as-is, so budget for a proper inspection whichever key you take. Mileage isn't published for either car.
The fine print worth knowing
This is a raffle-style giveaway with a hard cap: it ends August 24, 2026 at 11:59 PM EST or the moment 4,000 total entries ("spots") are claimed, whichever comes first — which means your worst-case odds are actually knowable, and no entrant may hold more than 5% of the spots. Paid entries start at $20 (keychain, lanyard, or poster tier = 1 entry), with shirts, hoodies, and backpacks earning more. There is a free mail-in route — a hand-written 3x5 card to the operator's New Jersey P.O. box, limited to one per person per calendar month — with the exact wording required spelled out in the Official Rules. Winners are picked in a live random drawing after the period ends or the spots fill, shipping to the lower 48 is included, and remember a prize like this counts as taxable income. Tuner Merch has posted named winners with ticket numbers for six previous giveaways, most recently TMG #6 in May 2026.

Why It's Special
The Mk3 Focus RS (2016–2018) was the only Focus RS generation Ford ever sold in the United States — 350 hp, manual-only, AWD with the famous Drift Mode — and Nitrous Blue is its signature color. The alternative prize is arguably rarer still: a Techno Violet 1997 E36 M3, one of the most sought-after colors on that chassis, wearing an LTW rear wing.
Our value estimate
$25,000
Anchored to the sponsor's stated ARVs: $25,000 for the 2017 Focus RS (our headline figure), $18,000 plus $3,000 cash for the E36 M3 option, and a $15,000 cash-out. Neither car's odometer is published, so mileage-matched comps aren't possible — the sponsor's $25,000 sits in the realistic band for a typical-mileage RS, while exceptionally low-mile examples have brought well above that, making the unpublished odometer the swing factor. For the E36 option, a 101k-mile Techno Violet 1998 E36 M3 sedan sold for $26,250 on Bring a Trailer in May 2025; coupes in this color are desirable, but the freshly rebuilt (non-original) engine and unknown chassis miles support the sponsor's more conservative $18,000. Fewer than three recent mileage-matched sales could be confirmed for either car, so we anchor to the operator's figures.
