Crewe’s BMW and Mini dealership, Blue Bell, has handed Team GB Olympic qualifying swimmer Francesca Halsall the keys to a new BMW Z4.

Halsall will compete in the women’s 50m and 100m freestyle and 100m butterfly events at the London 2012 Olympics this summer, of which BMW Group is the official car supplier.

Blue Bell Crewe dealer principal Barry Holt said: “The BMW Z4 forms part of Francesca’s sponsorship deal. We are delighted for Francesca. She has trained extremely hard and is now in great shape to go for gold.”
