    I RSVP'ed for the BMW ultimate driving experience along with 5 of my friends. Only one of us was selected (FUCK!!!!). The event is in Spartanburg, SC and I'm bummed i didnt get invited.

    You meet at restaurant in ATL, for breakfast and check in. You get motorcoached to SC, where they have ultimate driving experience, including the "M" lineup.

    My friend was told to dress comfortably, bring good pair of shoes, bring racing gloves, and be prepared to test your skills on closed courses.

    After 5pm, free drinks and hor'dourves, then u get motorcoached back to your destination (either ATL or Charlotte).

    I was notified by emails a few days ago but every spot is filled up for ATL. It sucks only one of us got chosen. Has anybody on WRXatlanta going to this event. I've done Mazda, Lexus, and Dodge in the past but BMW limits their participation because they truly offer the "ultimate driving experience" for this event and take care of their people.

    I ended up going to the event. Showed up to BrickTop in Buckhead, where we departed. Once I got on the bus, everything was gravy from there. Event was SICK!!! Courses were 135i skidpad, 330i vs opponents, 335d time trial, X5 offroad, and M3 closed course (fuckin bad!!!). Placed fourth overall in time trial, my friend placed 2nd. At the end, the pros gave everyone a hot lap ride in the M5's. Their youngest driver was the best, can damn near do the entire track sideways. He's drifts professionally in Supra (some of you might know him).

    Anyways, this coming up year, i'll give everyone a heads up prior to the events. This year, only made it to Porsche's OKTOberfest and BMW event. I've done Mazda, Lexus, & Audi in the past. But i'll let you guys know
