Here's a couple reviews:

None of the reviews I've read ever talk about food and what not. It's more about cars and driving.
Here's a video:

They didn't let me drive that hard at any Lexus events. Not hard at all. I didn't hit any cones either.

The Susan G Komen BMW drives are fun. They allow you to drive the cars on a mapped route through the local area of the dealership. There are a large array of vehicles to try. It's definitely a lot better in my opinion than trying to autocross a car for 5 seconds.

I did the event with my wife several years ago, and it's worth your time if you can go. They had food, beverages, and an array of different cars to drive. The only problem, is that spots for the the more popular cars tend to fill up quickly, and depending on what time you go, you may or may not even get a chance to drive the car that you hoped for. Just keep your expectations low, as far as that goes.

If you go towards the end of the day, chances are good that you might get bumped for the car you signed up for. Just depends on how quickly the previous drivers get back to the dealership after navigating the course, and how efficient they are about getting the next person on their way. If you can swing it, sign up for an early timeslot.

BMW of Manhattan hosted the Susan Komen Ultimate Drive event here in NYC on May 19.. Beautiful glass showroom on 11th Ave
All the cars are in titanium silver, and the drive was along the West Side Highway in Manhattan. I must say the Z4 is so much fun to drive. No M cars though.
