Istanbul - Turkey next, who's going?

[solstice]

It looks like the M Power Experience drive event in Turkey at May 18th is the next chance we have to get driving impressions from regular folks. Anyone here that is scheduled to attend? I would love to hear your feedback on the big complaints of the in cabin noise, numb steering and lack of high rpm excitement. Also more details on the manual transmission as clutch engagement and throw.

Thanks Sir Loin. Isn't that is a special event just for BMW dealers held before the public events?

NO ... its an event for customers of BMW M in Europe ... it tours from dealership to dealership and this dealership can invite their best customer to spend an day in various BMW M models ... as I know the customers are paired in team of two and change the car during the ride.

I think the tourday ends at an track or test ground where the drivers coild do some fast laps behind an safety car piloted by an driving instructor.

I think the public events start May 18th. The one that is running now is what I understand to reward successful BMW M sales people?

I don't expect much objectivity in anything coming out of a BMW M salesman driving his bread and butter for the coming years

That could be right ... but I think its than only an closed preview of the later public events in 2014 !?

It's already May 19th, I'm surprised that we haven't heard anything yet.
May 19th is the "driving day" of the first public event.
