I'll be pretty disappointed if that is the case tomorrow.

You're lucky. I have to wait till August to make the sweltering 2 hour drive from the cool coast inland to Bakersfield. But it should be worth it.

Yikes, a 2hr drive? I'm curious to see what it will even be like. It's taking place at the local dealership that doesn't have much room for a course other than the local streets and access to a busy freeway. Would have been nice if they held the event some where that you can really stomp on the pedal.

Guess the dealers that are closer to me are to frugal to pay BMW to have them bring the event to them. Or maybe BMW goes by sales volume? Who knows?

I see they schedule a ride for every vehicle once every 10 minutes, so it must be for only a few miles at most. I know the dealer in Bakersfield certainly doesn't have any decent roads around it. Probably go a couple blocks, get on the 99 south for one exit then 2 blocks back to the dealer. Oh boy!!!
As I'm sitting here thinking about it now, I may just wait till later in August when one of the two local dealers near me may get an X3M for a proper test ride. When I was at the 1 day M School last month at the BMW Performance Center in Thermal, CA, they had an X3M and a camouflaged X5M parked behind a fence where we weren't allowed to enter. One of the instructors said the X3M is quite impressive on the track.
Anyway, let us know how it goes tomorrow. Enjoy.

Well just a heads up for anyone in Phoenix area, but not only is there no X3M, they also don’t have the M340ix... the only two cars we really came to drive.

I at least beat the snot out of an M4. I think they could smell it when we brought it back... so not a total waste.

Yeah, I was super bummed that they didn't have the X3M.

I got to beat the hell out of the M850, M5Comp, and M4. The exhaust on the M850i was simply amazing. It was the M40i on steroids x100. I thought it even sounded better than the M5 exhaust.

The F80 interior has not aged well compared to the G0X platform. Felt so dated sitting in that M4.

Just received this email from BMW:

"Thank you for registering for M Town Tour. We hope you are looking forward to getting behind the wheel of The Ultimate Driving Machine®.

Due to an unforeseen change in vehicle availability, attendees who registered to drive the X3 M Competition are now scheduled to drive the X3 M40i.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Should you have any questions about this change or about your M Town Tour reservation, please call...."

I called the number and they mentioned that there have been various mechanical issues reported with the X3 M Competition, and unfortunately my location in CT will not have that vehicle present. I already own a 2019 X3 M40i, so not interested in driving MY car. So bummed and annoyed.
