I drove a G20 330i M Sport at the BMW Ultimate Driving Experience
I just got home from the BMW Ultimate Driving Experience in New Jersey. The car I drove was a G20 330i M Sport.
They gave us a twenty minute basic driving course, and then, with an instructor, let us drive on a course they set up for us at full speed. The instructors drove to show us how it was done, then we had a few practice laps, and then two timed laps. I can't express how great this was. I highly recommend it. If it comes to your town: https://f80.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1603117 make sure you don't miss it. |

I did it many times before when the event came to DC. The problem was there is 3 passengers and the instructor in the car, so very time consuming until you get your turn. Hopefully they changed that now. I do it mostly for the $1000 voucher

i've done this a few times. Honestly I am not a huge fan of having some SCCA driver telling me to power through this auto cross faster and faster... I don't really think its that enjoyable an experience.... the last time I did it was in a 530e and it was just like, yeah i'm never gonna drive this car like this.
That said its worthwhile to just go there, check in and get the voucher emailed to you if you are buying a car soon. |

Very fun event indeed, and the test drives are great as well. They allow you 15 minutes to personally drive a vehicle from a select list without having someone supervise the drive. Got to test out an M240i, and since it was a press car and was already broken into, I easily could push it to the limits. A great way to fully test out a car and push it past what a normal test drive may allow you to do.

I received the invite today. I don't see where they are offering $1000. I did it 4 years ago and checked in at the dealer, and left. Received my $1000.

Looks like it's only in 5 states, and I'm not driving 8 hours roundtrip or flying for what is a glorified test drive. I thought historically this was offered in more locations, so that's disappointing.
