    Need For Speed Twitter Missions Could Score You A BMW

    Complete Need for Speed missions on Twitter and you could win a shiny new BMW M3 courtesy of Electronic Arts.

    Five days, five missions. EA is posting special tasks for fans of Need for Speed: Shift (or fans of BMWs I suppose) over at the Need for Speed Twitter. Completing the missions enters players into a drawing for the 2010 BMW M3, along with various other NFS-related goodies.

    It's really an interesting little contest. Take today's mission for instance. You have to use Google Maps Street to find a real-world BMW and tweet a screen capture to @NeedforSpeed, with 50 winners scoring a gift bag and 1 receiving concert tickets to a Need for Speed soundtrack artist. I'm not particularly fond of the prizes, but the getting there sure sounds like fun.

    Head over to the official Need for Speed Twitter to learn more.
