Three hours. That's good.
I always worry about these driving experiences that you get 20 minutes in the car & the rest is listening to a sales pitch.
I think BMW do something similar. Please see below

Hi Stephanie,

Thanks for the update.
Sorry my last question was ambiguous. What I meant to ask was:

In Europe they offer driving courses for different abilities, motor circuits, etc.
Why don't BMW run similar courses in the uk?

Regards

Peter

Hi Peter

Thank you for your email and apologies for the delay in responding.

The experience will include a good 2 hrs of driving if not more. It’s hard to say the exact timings as it will all depend on group ability and the briefing timings, but hopefully that’s a good indication.

BMW UK currently only offer their Driving Experience Day programme in the UK, we are not aware of any Driving Experiences outside of the UK however this may be something that they decide to offer in the future.

Kind regards

Stephanie

Cheers. I'm going to have a look at this. If there are driving options, which, one did you choose?
Thanks in advance.

If you are ever in Germany, Audi offer something similar at their test track in Neuburg. Been meaning to try it.
