The BMW Ultimate Drive is being held today for NYC at Belmont Racetrack in Elmont Long Island (same location Taste of Lexus is held each year). You get to ride and drive Volvo xc90's, Mercedes ML500, Lexus LX470. You do a shoot out of the X5 4.8is vs. the above mentioned, in pedal to the metal around an auto cross type course. SO much damn fun that you have to go for yourself! Anyone attend? Here are some pics
For those that will like to attend and did not pre-register, all you have to do is show up and bring your drivers license to register on the spot It does not matter if you are not a BMW owner come one come all. It is free!!!
This event is different than the Taste of Lexus in that you can drive the cars on the street (with a BMW rep along side you) for 15 minutes. How cool is that? Or you can drive the cars on the road course that they have set up. You can drive the 750I, 335c, 335I, Z4, X5, X3, The 335 makes you grin from ear to ear..The downside (for the hungry folks) No food is distributed at this event. It is all about the driving experience.
Is this mini roller coaster part of the event or they're just unloading it from a carrier?
The purpose of this apparatus is to demonstrate the BMW Hill assist and Hill descent feature. You actaully drive the BMW SAV's up & down the steel mountain
So, the even is still going on tomorrow? What time does it start/end? And I don't remember, which exit was it from Cross Island parkway?
Starts at 8:30 am & rwraps up at 6pm I believe. The exit is Hempstead TPK, East on the Cross Island Pkwy.. All I have to do is put on my slippers & head out there since i am less than 5 minutes away. I plan on being there at 12 pm i/f/o the registration tent.
Cool, Im defenately gonna go there with my wife, and possibly a couple of buds, probably a little earlier though. Is it very crowded there? How is it compared to the last years TOL event?

No crowds, no lines suprisingly. You sit under the tent once you register and wait for the cars to be available to be driven on the street or on the road course. Very well organized
