What is the Ultimate Driving Experience?
The BMW Ultimate Driving Experience offers behind-the-wheel BMW driving programs and features many of the BMW models that you know and love. One of the events is Autocross, a course that tests your skills for 90 minutes in an M440i xDrive Coupe while a BMW Professional Driving Instructor gives you tips via radio. If you want a more laid-back experience, you can do a Street Drive experience in many of the standard BMW models like the X7 or a 3 Series. You’ll get to see what it’s like to drive a BMW in your hometown. You can also test the limits of BMW’s PHEV lineup or attend the M Car Control Clinic in the performance-based M3 Competition and M4 Competition models.
