HD PHOTOS! BMW G30 "Back To The Track" Training At COTA

BIMMERPOST
     Featured on BIMMERPOST.com
As the representative of Chicago Fields BMW store, My GSM and I went to BMW NA's "BACK TO THE TRACK" G30 5series training at COTA, the only Formula One racing track.

We drove the 530i, 530xi, 540i and 540xi on the track. We drove the cars from hotel downtown Austin to the track and back. The car handles great. The interior is awesome, they did several improvement with controls based on customer's J.D Power IQS survey feed back.

I'm very excited about this new generation 5. Enjoy the photos.

Love the alpine white. Gives the car a perfect sporty look, the atlas cedar is not bad look either. M-sport looks gorgeous in blue

Nice pics! I was there on the 18th. The track was super fun....the hot laps with the drivers was amazing. The junk thing was that I was caught behind an older lady driver lol

One of the best "trainings" BMW has ever sent me on. Back to the Track was absolutely dope. Loved the G30 and the new Night Blue interior color is absolutely gorgeous in person. So much fun and COTA is an amazing track.

While you don't usually associate a 5 series with track work I really appreciate the pictures and love reading about the car. It sounds like a true winner

I was at the training last Tuesday and wednesday. I was very impressed with the new 5. It seems to me they hit the nail right on the head. It will really stand out from the competition with it's driving abilities and the huge improvements in tech, it's now above the pack once again. We will likely sell a lot of these cars. I'm excited for it.

Looks great thanks for sharing

I think AW still my favorite, I saw a Silver one in a pic or two not bad at all, my 2nd favorite ... this car needs M-sport for sure

Anyone know if this new 5 will be at the Washington auto show this week?
