2 Series Autocross at L.A. Ultimate Driving Experience

Carvacious · 09-17-2014, 08:42 PM

We attended the BMW Ultimate Driving Experience on September 13th and had a blast! The M235i and i8 (among others) were on display and available to climb in. We signed up for the "2 Series Autocross." A fleet of 228i's were waiting for our group and after a lap with the instructors we put the cars through their paces with plenty of corners to conquer on a tight, parking lot track. The 2's short wheelbase really helped whip the car through the S curves and hairpins nicely. Check out the pictures. Enjoy!

Awesome! I'm scheduled for the autocross on the 21st.
Would my girlfriend be able to watch during the event?
Didn't want to sign her up because I doubt she'd want to drive lol

Wish I was able to make it out to this. Looks like a blast!

Yes definitely! My girlfriend came with me as well and it was easy. She just had to sign a form and they gave her a grounds pass. You can also ride in the X5 Hill-Climb demo they have. Give her a camera so she can take pictures of you tearing up the track

Awesome!

Did they have test drives also?
I'd love to drive the 650i

Yes they did! They had a good variety, including a 650i coupe. Also saw a 750Li and a 3 Series GT among few others. Good mix to choose from. You also get to drive solo - no sales rep in the car with you.

Yesterday was fun!
Girlfriend decided to autocross and she actually beat half the guys in her group lol.

It was a good experience.
I was hoping to do some laps in Sport+ but the instructor said no
