Awesome video!! I also attended this event last week and I really enjoyed myself. Too bad they didn't give out any incentives this year, was hoping to get one to apply to my incoming g30. I don't know if you noticed but I felt like the Xdrive was a lot more responsive off the line compared to the rwd. |

Hey guys, I was also there earlier this week. The RWD was extremely slow off the line compared to the AWD. I ended up in the RWD for the competition lap, and I'm flooring it at the line, I wasn't moving. Watched every single other car afterwards, and I noticed the x-drive took off much quicker, every single time.

Literally same thing I said... you can even tell in the video on the final lap when he tells me to gogogogo.. i literally stepped on it pedal to the floor (you can hear it) and it was quite a delay before it actually got going

Awesome! My girlfriend, good friend and myself all attended the event and had a great time. Very well organized and our instructor was great very friendly. The street drives were also fun to abuse some cars that aren't ours lol.
The 540 was very impressive handled very nicely for the size of the car, and definitely felt quick. Was expecting them to give us 530s so was very happy to see the 540s. |

Great video...
pretty cool that you got to hang with Mr. Joshua in the back seat. Definite words to the wise.. if you take a test drive on the street at a UDE event.. the " recommended route" gets to be WELL KNOWN by cops .. and they usually love to set up a speed trap nearby and follow cars back into the event so they can make a display of presenting a certificate of High Performance driving to test drivers. |

Thats hysterical. And yeah the cop situation is true.. 2 years ago so many people got tickets and this year coming in I saw two cops waiting for someone to do something dumb lol My heart dropped when I downshifted coming in under the overpass cause my exhaust sounded a little loud there and the cop drove right by me at like 8am , luckily nothing happened i'd rather avoid the headache lol

Don't forget to pick up your free metal "s'well" water bottle with the BMW logo on it!
I went alittle too hard on the track and went off course by 10+ feet. Knocked over a bunch of cones. My friend nicknamed me "cone muncher" for the rest of the day. I know I ran over a few cones. Sort of got yelled at by the track prep guys as I over heard them via the instructor's two way radio stating if I'm not listening to him I should get kicked off the track. Which my instructor quickly turned down lol. He gave me late instructions But my instructor was a cool dude and didn't mind. But they did have to stop the track for a few moments and pick up all the cones I knocked over |
