^ Click on Registration along the menu that's 1.5" or so down from the top of the screen. It'll ask you for your zip, then you go from there.

It's a rare modified 7 series, by Alpina. It's kind of like a M7 but not with that same ///M soul.

Have to be 30 or older to drive an M3. I guess 250lb of torque is too much for us whipper snappers.

^ Wow, the B7 looks pretty sweet! Too bad I'm not 25 yet, as I'd have a choice of one of BMW's fancier cars... :twisted:

So, is it like on some kind of course or just a drive around the block? I don't really give a crap about driving a BMW around the block. :?

I believe it's driving it around the block... I'll glady take the chance to cruise around in a Bimmer... Never actually driven one before.

Meh. They need to do autocross deal.

I'd go test drive a Corvette, though. 8)

They do have a program for that, too. I think it's called the "Performance Driving School," or something like that. And it's not free. :(

Yeah. I did that in Atlanta a few years back. Waste of time and money. If the tires talk to you, game over.
