Default Best end to a work day EVER.

<a href="http://hipmotional.com/erwinpenland/BMW-performance_driving_school/">BMW Performance Driving School</a>

Let's start by flogging some M5s on a relatively open track.

Then we'll trounce some 335is around a wet/dry auto-x track.

And next, we'll toss some M3s onto the wet skidpad for some tail-happy action.

Finally, we'll conclude with a lovely little auto-x session on a dry track with the 335is.

Oh, and then they gave us beer/wine and some munchie food before giving us all a goodie bag and sending us home.



Yeah... I really can't imagine a better end to a work day -- especially when it wasn't something that I had any foreknowledge of...

No, no 1-series. The new M5 was pretty spectacular. It felt MUCH smaller than it is.

Default Not a convert, no. There are too many BMWs around here for them to be appealing to me.

I mean, the North American HQ is just up the road...


But I definitely understand why they claim to be the ultimate driving machine: All of the cars were very predictable, even the M3 on the wet track.
