This year's BMW Ultimate Driving Experience presented by BMW of North America is a third of the way through its national tour. The Ultimate Driving Experience provides participants a number of dynamic, behind-the-wheel driving programs in many of the BMW models available today, including BMW i and iPerformance cars, BMW M and M Performance vehicles, and the new BMW 5 Series.

This year, participants can compete for the "Ultimate Driver" prize based on timed autocross-like events.

Four BMW Ultimate Driving Experience events remain on the schedule. These include:

•  San Francisco, CA, at the Cow Palace on August 11-17

•  Dallas, TX, at Lone Star Park on September 2-10

•  Chicago, IL, at Arlington Park on October 14-22

•  New York, NY, at Citi Field on November 2-12

To help promote the Ultimate Driver Experience, some ultimate drivers on the Turner Motorsport team #96 BMW M6 GT3 car will be competing while the M6 wears special Ultimate Driving Experience livery in the upcoming IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar championship races at Road America and Virginia International Raceway.

“The Ultimate Driving Experience gives drivers from across the country the opportunity to get behind the wheel of a BMW and experience firsthand why our brand is at the top of its class,” said Trudy Hardy, Vice President of Marketing, BMW of North America. “Further, drivers participating in the teen driving school, autocross or M control clinic will develop their own skills, gaining experience and confidence while learning under the guidance of our BMW Performance Center instructors.”

 “We are pleased to support BMW’s Ultimate Driving Experience,” said Will Turner, Team Principal. “It is an amazing program. Check out the website and watch the UDE video. Just awesome! Can you drive?”

For almost 20 years, Turner has been one of the most successful BMW customer racing teams. The BMW Ultimate Driving Experience is a great way for BMW customers, potential customers, and enthusiasts to drive current BMW models with instructors from BMW Performance Centers.
