BMW Driving experience in Auburn

Anyone go to the driving experience? I went on Sat and did the quick little demo's and then the autocross. Quite fun for the price (free). There is also perf driving with M cars but that costs money.

I saw an AY with a custom plate like Tofili or something like that. Don't know if I have met them yet.

I will be going to the VIP event on Wednesday. They feed you and you get to take out 6ers, 7ers, and M cars! It will be a great trial run since I am currently toying with picking up a new M3 with ED sometime soon.

You must be doing something different. they had 2/3/4/5/6/7 series. No M's. Food was m&ms and water (well, other snacks too but you get the point).

If you do the autocross they give you $1,000 coupon off your next new car (USA Retail) if you buy in 6 months.

Correct. You likely went to the normal UDE event. I got a special invitation to the VIP UDE which is catered and has the more advanced cars on offer.

Ahh, yes, the VIP event tomorrow.

"You’ll begin your evening taking the luxurious and exhilarating 6, 7 and M Series vehicles out on the local roads for self-guided street drives. Then, at select events, you’ll further experience the power of the M Series on closed Autocross tracks with BMW professional instructors.* After driving, you'll enjoy a unique culinary experience featuring prominent local chef, Josh Henderson of Westward and his Northwest American inspired three course tasting menu. From the invigorating rides to the delicious fare, it’s sure to be a night you’ll never forget."


I am not going because well, I don't want to drive through all of that traffic to be there by 6:30. I only did the one last week because it was on a weekend. Have Fun!

Yeah, I live in Renton so it won't be a big deal. I will have the carpool lane in 167 which should make it a little easier to get down there.

My friend went to the VIP event yesterday and he had a great time. I'm not sure how you get invited.

That was my AY M4 - Tifosi. (We've met several times.) I was the one parked on the end of the row, only to return and find some A-hole in a Honda had squeezed next to me. Never mind there were many spots all around. Why can't stupidity be painful?

Killer-Bimmmer and I went to the "autocross" event on Saturday. It was okay. It's hard to get very excited by a 20 second lap in anything. Having said that, they do a good job with the event.

Killer-Bimmmer is going to the VIP thinee tonight. I have to work...

The biggest bummer was driving on an artierial at 30mpg and having a rock fly up from a car going the other way and chip my windshield. I got it repaired, but it's never perfect again. Wasn't worth it.

Though... I did pick up a nice ///M travel mug.

I thought that was you but I thought when I drove by the windows weren't tinted and I thought yours was. I knew it was one of a couple cars and probably you but It didn't match your avatar name so then I was like... hmmm.

I went last night too. It was fun to get in and push the M3. The auto-cross was kind of disappointing though. Just enough to give you a taste and then its over. I did like taking it out onto the roads though.

I am seriously impressed with the M3. Have never driven an M before I loved how it reacted to even stupid driver inputs. And when you mash the Loud Pedal, horry chit! I could get used to that feeling.

I was invited to the VIP event, but I didn't have time to go. I did go to the Car Control Clinic on Tuesday. Drove the M235i, M3, and M4 for the day. Did a bunch of crazy things like sudden lane change at 40 mph, sudden lane change and back at 40 mph, slalom, and autocross. It was very fun. These cars get grinded in 1st and 2nd gear and brake stomped (both CCB and steel brakes) all day, every day, and they keep going. Amazing.
