Talking Wow - An AWESOME ///M Driving Experience

Wow - An AWESOME ///M Driving Experience

Had the chance to join a bunch of fellow ///M owners from the BMW CCA - National Capital Chapter and experience an ///M Driving Event at the Performance Center facility in S.C.

Totally exhilarating experience and I'd definitely do it again given the chance... The event had us driving in an E60 M5 and an M Coupe, such great cars!

Here are some pics and comments...

Arrived Friday at the Zentrum for what was supposed to be a plant tour but turned out as a meeting with
Museum Curator as the plant is currently closed for the ongoing retooling process...


Sad to see the US flag draped E53 X5 now just collecting dust and leaves in the parking lot...




The group..


Our auto-x instructor...


Our skid pad instructor...












Having fun in the skid pad...




Lunch time


Some X5 side by side pics...






Heading home...

Yes got the chance to meet him and his son... Also saw his impressive M3!

Is he the owner of the Martin Motorsport shop that you go to?

No, the E70's were owned by BMW Marketing and the Performance Center didn't have any during the time...

That would be the man. He's a great guy... love him to death. Quite possibly one of the things I miss most about Nova is being able to go to his shop and just chill and shoot the shit with him.

I guess he drove his white e46 zcp?
