Wow, that's a lot sooner.
At the rate BMW updates engines, we may be driving different cars.

Just remember the time you are scheduled for starts with a product review.
You get to drive about 20 minutes after that.
Each group has an X5 towing a trailer.

The better events tend to be in large parking lots. This is at a dealership so I don't expect too much, but I'm in for the show if they have one.
The last BMW one I attended (in Baltimore at the Ravens parking lot) was a mini-autocross course. Neat.

I'm pretty sure.. that wherever it is... I'm driving the crap out of those cars..
The Drive for the Cure that they used to do... was on public roads... I always made it a point to never exceed 110 mph..

These are public road events. I'll see if I can find out if there are any closed course venues.

I admire your discipline.
I suspect this event will be on public roads.
