Since there's so much talk about the BMW Driving experience, I thought that I would share it with everyone for those who don't know what it's all about. Keep in mind that the events listed below are complimentary. Please read the details below. Thanks.


Performance Driving Class, 2 Hours

Discover the BMW difference firsthand with a complimentary Performance Driving Class. Your two-hour session with a professional BMW instructor will begin with a "chalk talk" orientation. At the wheel of a new BMW 3 Series Sedan you'll learn essential handling techniques, accident avoidance strategies, and other performance driving skills. At the end of your session, you'll walk away with new skills, greater confidence, and a profound desire to be driving away instead.



Student Driving Program, 1/2 Day

There's only one way for a teenager to become a better driver: experience. As part of BMW's commitment to safety education, we have developed the Student Driver Program to keep your teenager driving intelligently and safely. With this half-day program, 15 to 20-year-old students (with a driver's permit or license) will have a chance to get behind the wheel of a new BMW 3 Series Sedan to learn the finer points of driving. With hands-on instruction, students will learn key safety skills, including gauging the relationship between speed and stopping distances, braking and accident avoidance techniques. Your teen will drive with more confidence and intelligence. And you'll sleep better at night.


Ultimate Drive for Suan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation

Join BMW in a drive to fight breast cancer by participating in the Ultimate Drive for Susan G. Komen. Take a free test drive in your choice of vehicle, and BMW will donate $1 per mile in your name to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. Get behind the wheel of a BMW and accelerate the cure today with the Ultimate Drive.

Your welcome! The BMW rep also called it an AutoCross and stated something about a competition at the end or something like that for the Performance Driving Calss. I don't know but it sounds fun anyway.
