Woodcliff Lake, NJ – April 11, 2019… BMW’s annual Ultimate Driving Experience is back [sign up link]! Building on past success, BMW’s signature experiential driving event returns this year to an expanded, 16-city line-up, with new program components in select cities. The Ultimate Driving Experience invites consumers, from coast-to-coast, to get behind the wheel and experience “The Ultimate Driving Machine” first-hand.

This year, drivers will experience some of BMW’s newest and most exciting vehicles – including the all-new, redesigned BMW 3 series – on an exhilarating closed autocross course and in extended street drives. Additionally, for the first time, consumers in five markets will also have the opportunity to experience the power of the first-ever BMW X7 Sports Activity Vehicle on a hill-descent obstacle course and learn first-hand about some of BMW’s newest Advanced

Driver Assistance Systems including: Frontal Collision Warning, Backup Assistant and Parking Assistant.

“There’s no better way to experience the Ultimate Driving Machine than from the driver’s seat, so we’ve tripled the number of cities where we’ll offer the Ultimate Driving Experience this year in order to give more people than ever before that opportunity,” said Trudy Hardy, vice president of marketing, BMW of North America. "We’ve also added several new program elements to showcase the incredible performance behind our latest models, like our first-ever BMW X7, and demonstrate some of our most advanced new driving technologies.”

The 2019 BMW Ultimate Driving Experience launched on April 4 in Washington, D.C. at FedEx Field. In the following five markets, including East Rutherford, NJ this weekend, the tour will feature multiple immersive experiences.

Signed up for the autocross which I've never done so I'm excited to check it out. Maybe next time I'll do the M driving school.

these events are paid for by local area dealers.. One dealer can pay or all the dealers in a market area can join in.

Go see your General manager.

having visited the area a few times for BMW CCA events.. methinks Schomp has been running a lot of customer centric events themselves.. and perhaps Co's as well... You certainly have plenty of area dealers, but they are spread out, and they don't seem to be inclined to work together to bring this to the area.

After nearly every BMW UDE - type, or even Susan G Komen/Jump into Spring/ Fall Holiday Drive type Test drive event I have attended, I received a discount coupon for $1000 off a new vehicle purchase shortly afterwards.

Explains a lot - thanks. I'll skip my visit to the GM here, it's one of the reasons my two recent purchases were done out of state.

Anyone know if you can get 15% off the control clinic if you're a CCA member? It's usually 15% all the classes at the performance centers but idk if it still applies to UDE control clinic
