BMW Driving Adventures
Rauno Altonen wouldn't have stood a chance of winning the Monte Carlo rally in 1969 with just one hand on the steering wheel. And even Michael Schumacher, talented guy that he is, would not get very far in his pursuit of Grand Prix cups if he assumed a supine position in his racing car, as can be seen frequently on our roads.
Both hands on the steering wheel; an upright position; the right distance between driven and steering wheel; eyes on the road or on your goal. While all that may sound boring and really uncool, it's worth trying out just to see how much more fun motoring is if you know that you've got your car completely under control. Slaloms, emergency brakes, avoiding an obstacle in time, and many other situations.
In Munich, more precisely, at BMW, the experts realised 25 years ago that motoring fun and safety can go hand in hand.
And even more so if you happen to be sitting in a BMW roadster under the Mediterranean sun or exploring the deserts of Morocco in an X5. All under professional guidance. Motor sports fans get to practice north loops and ideal lines on an M3. From 20th June, 2003, first-rate instructors in MINIs will be teaching drivers how to get this agile little vehicle safely through the pitfalls of urban motoring.

Drifting, oversteering, understeering, braking, driving on ice and snow. Where car test drivers go to find extreme winter conditions is where emergency situations become routine manoeuvres. BMW offers two snow destinations: Sölden in Austria or Finland's ice and snowscapes. In addition to professional training, plus a bit of theory, the courses include plenty of fun and culinary specialities.
