I've been looking forward to this event coming into my area, but now that its here it doesn't fit my schedule and the closest dealerships to me are already closed.

Been There Done That

Drove four different BMW's when it was near me. Good deal and a good cause.

Why oh why did you have to provide the pink ribbon gear link?

I want the clutch, the handbag, the gym bag, and the rollaboard!

Interesting - the invite a friend link doesn't work unless you use an email from someone who got the email originally.

This is a yearly event that BMW has been doing for the last 12-13 years - I've been doing it since the beginning (the neatest thing was that I saw my signature on the "signature car" at the LA car show after the first year). It's a really fun event that also generates money for a worthwhile charity.

Even if you can't sign up and reseve a car, just find out when the event is at a dealer convenient to you. You can just show up, register, and drive since there are no-shows on the reservation and the reservations are hourly while the road course is only about 20 min. Of course, the "hot" cars will have a waiting list for times etc.

So,

1) Minimum age to drive? 18 or 25 (like most rental car companies)?
2) Is the 7-series considered "hot"?

Thanks and I look forward to doing it next year!

Ditto. Saw a few items I might have to purchase. Next year I'll have to do the drive.

Cheers.

Minimum age is 21, I believe. (I was 23 when I participated back in May)..and it was a BLAST. I'm a huge fan of BMWs, so I was in hog-heaven. My favorite was actually the 135i...such a light, quick car. Also drove the 335i and Z4. Minimum age to drive the M3, Alpina 7, and I think the 6 series was 28 (I believe, or maybe 30..?). Don't quote me on that. All I knew was that I was too young to drive the M3. But still got a ride in the front seat, woot!
