Default BMW Ultimate Driving Event 8/08 NYC

Looking to get a head count of attendees for this free driving event... I will update this thread with more details when the date rolls around including registration info..

Here is more on the event..



Optimize your driving pleasure with one of three Ultimate Driving Experience® programs. Professional driving instructors help you master the skills you need to be a better, more confident driver. Learn about overall vehicle dynamics, navigating turns and most importantly, learn how to get as much joy as possible from the BMW driving experience.

Harness BMW power and performance and master the road with the Autocross Driving Program. Learn new skills and boost your confidence behind the wheel of the all-new X5 4.8i. You'll be rewarded with a finely-tuned appreciation for the art of handling a performance vehicle. This program will focus on three key comparisons:


Accident avoidance
Car Control / Braking
Competitive Comparison
Your day will kick off with a "chalk talk" from your professional BMW instructor. Together you'll review the fundamentals of vehicle dynamics and preview the skills to be mastered. Then you'll have the opportunity to experience the X5 on a specially-designed driving course.

TEENAGERS

There's only one way for a teenager to become a better driver: experience. As part of BMW's commitment to driver education, we offer the Student Driver Program to help your teenager drive with intelligence. Your 15 to 20-year-old student will get behind the wheel of a new X5 to learn the finer points of safe driving under the guidance of a BMW professional instructor. Students will learn key safety skills, including gauging the relationship between speed and stopping distances, braking, and accident-avoidance techniques. It's all about making your teen a safer, more confident driver.

The Ultimate Driving Experience™ also gives you the chance to drive some of your favorite BMW models while helping a worthy cause. As part of the BMW Ultimate Drive® supporting Susan G. Komen for the Cure, you can drive a wide variety of new BMWs, including the dynamic 3 Series Coupe, the exciting Z4 Roadster, and more.

For every mile you drive, BMW will donate $1 to breast cancer research, education and treatment. It's a great drive, with a greater purpose.

Last year they wouldnt let me drive the 335 because I didnt follow their directions when driving the 750 right before. But they were too dumb to let my friend drive it, so I met up with him outside, and he let me drive it when he was finished with it, lol. You should've seen the dumb look on their faces when they realized that.
