BMW Performance Center

-=Hot|Ice=- · 12-05-2009, 08:57 PM

We just got a 6er and we got an invitation to the BMW Performance Center for two people. I was wondering when the best time to go was. Opinions are appreciated.

-=Hot|Ice=- · 12-05-2009, 09:13 PM

Anyone?

What do you mean you got "a 6er"?

i dont know much about this driving school or when the best time would go would be..but i guess when the weather gets nice? unless you want to learn how to drive better in your winter weather conditions in maryland? should be fun anytime you go tho!

Give us the details of your new 6er!

There is never a bad time to do the Performance Center. You will get very detailed information about your car on how things work/function .. and you get to play around / drive around / do safety scenario's in a 6er!

GO FOR IT!!

Indeed, the performance center delivery program is great fun!

Here's pics from my brother's Z4 M coupe delivery there in 5/2007 and my 335xi coupe delivery there in 5/2008.

From MD, it's just about 500 miles, so if you can do that in 4 hours, averaging 125 mph, maybe you don't need the training! <LOL>

Actually, I did it and had a GREAT time. The comp'ed hotel and meals was fantastic, the tiny-group factory tour a blast, the X6 driving over their torture hills was a lot of fun, and then to the track! Wow. They actually kept on repeating to us, "If your tires aren't smoking, you're not pushing it enough - keep saying to yourself, " 'It's not my care, it's not my car!' ".

A great experience. I have never heard a regret or complaint.

oh wow have fun at the performance center.

nonsns3 · 12-08-2009, 04:59 PM

I did PCD for 06 Z4 3.0si as well. Great experience.

I'll tell you a secret: The BMW roundel on "The Zentrum" sign as pictured above...if you take a picture at night with flash, something else will show up - and its not the roundel. Now you have a mission for that night.
