Your local BMW dealer let you drive all these ?

[tanelvali]

Yes. all of them. Last year there were also 760 Li, X5 4,6 iS, Z4 3.0 and many others.. Next event is due in september.

Any favorites?

The wood in the dashboard of the 645ci is really nice! At least that's how I think of it when I see it like this. I'm gonna have to see it in real life but I didn't think it would be this pretty.

BTW, great selection of cars. Can you also get a bit extra fun with, let's say the M3 and do a high speed course or something?

I just LOVE the Bangle era cars, looking forward to the next 3 series

This event is held and initiated by BMW headquarters throuout the europe. Idea is to teach safe driving, proper driving techniques and ofcourse - promoting BMW cars. In estonia this event is held approx twice a year with different type of cars. Last year there were many top range cars (z4 3.0, 760 Li, M3 X5 4.8 IS (which you cans ee on my avatar) and many others).

First part of the event is highway driving - you can try out each car in about 15 km distances. After that you go to an emty airfield where you can perform some additional tests, extreme manouvering etc.. I wish there was also near top speed tryouts but unfortunately there was no opportunity for that.

What comes to my favorite then.. it was surprising for me also - I'd prefer 645 Ci from all those (remember there was M3 also!). This 645 is just soo quick and the brakes are just superb. In my opinion accelerating response was also better than M3's. This really is one MEAN and ANGRY car!

JW member "Imre" also participated on that event and I hope he can submit he's photos and comments here also.


And another thing, last year there was 2 persons in each car, so while 1 was driving the other could take pics and shoot a videos, this year we were alone in the cars so pics were taken only near dealership and in the airfield..

My local BMW dealer won't even let me into a 7 series! (or M3 or z4 or anything else for that matter). Around here you have to show them you've got enough money to buy a 7 series for any dealer to give you near proper treatment. I think I'm relocating to Estonia then
Anyway, is anyone around here pessimistic about the upcoming 3 series as I am ? I think the new "Bangle" 3 series with flame surfaces won't be a tiny bit as handsome as the current shape.

Great pix! There is a dark 5series with a plate no.535....is that the new 535d??? :shock:

[noosee]

Nice pics.
That means they would bring those cars to Lithuania also.
It happens every year. I was particepating several years ago when I drove M5, X5 & 740d
