Had a great day! This is the first time I've been to a UDE, and also a first time at autocross. Had a GRREEAT time!
Autocross was fun. I could only sign up for the 5 series (everything else was filled up before I could sign up). They did it in a 535i and a 535d. The instructors were cool and obviously had lots of experience with this sort of thing.
Test drives were nice too. Finally got my hands on a 2 series that I've intended to test drive for some time. The Z4 was nice too! The F10 5 series felt quite nimble for its size.
I waited for some time for the 650i test drive but ran out of patience. There was a long line for it.
It was also great to see the i8 in the flesh! The car is every bit as gorgeous as it seems on photos.
Wish they had "M" cars for test drives but hey you cant ask for everything
Clicked a few quick pics with my cellphone camera:
The registration booths and the display car tent. The staff were all friendly and professional.
This is the about-to-be-launched X4. I think its about as big as the X3 and as ugly as the X6. What's the point?
The X4 doesn't look bad from the front
The M235i. Drool!
The 4 series
They had this set up to show all-wheel drive capability of the X cars
4 series convertible. Felt good to drive this in the sunny but cool weather.
Showing off the X cars AWD capability
Appreciate
