BMW Ultimate Driving Experience Car Control Clinic
BMW put on a great event at Citi Field last week. Was able to test drive the F80 M3 for the first time which was nice, but the car control clinic really showed some of the highlights of the M3 and the M235i. It was basically a mini one day ///M school and so close to my house that I had to go. They say they will be adding more cities to 2015 so hope you guys get to experience this. It's a full day of braking, handling exercises and autocross.
There will be 2 events left in Miami and Houston. Register here NY Times Article One of the 4 M3's that were used (Borrowed from NY Times photo) Team Competition Autocross Final team lap from the outside Emercency Lane Change excercise w/ M235i Slalom w/ M235i Autocross lapping w/ M235i Skid Pad w/ 328i (Using plastic covers over the rear tires to simulate a wet skid) Next day went to the free autocross trial w/ 228i. Much smaller event (About 2 hours) than the car control (free compared to $650 for Car Control) but still pretty fun. Also had a team competition at the end.

I had the chance to try the Car control clinic back in July when they were at Metlife Stadium. First time I ever done an Autocross/class and also first time driving an M car and it was damn fun. I did all the same things you guys did albeit a larger class and more M3 color choices lol. I had chance to do the free Autocross at Citifield since I didn't get chance to try back in NJ. Whats cool is I met some of the same instructors during clinic and they remembered me also. Those guys are awesome to hang around with.

Hey Jason,
We talked a bit during the private dinner event and I'm still disappointed I didn't get to participate in this event. It seemed like it was loads of fun! How did you like the F80 and the m235i compared to your E90? I think I'll sign up for it in the future if there is ever another event like this. Anyway nice coverage and thanks for posting the videos!

I just got notice to sign up for the Houston one. @JDy80, did you have to pay for the M235i course? It looks like the car control clinic is $625?
