BMW Experience Day

Hi everyone,

Due to having a great relationship with RiazC at Spire Watford, I was fortunate enough to attend their BMW experience day at Bedford Autodrome today, run by Palmer Sport.

All I can say is WOW! Having driven all of the M car range, including the i8 and i3, I've been left with a seriously stupid grin on my face and feel like a kid again. The stand out car for me was the M2 which is a real go-kart and ridiculously fast and agile, it's the perfect car for smiles per mile - although not so perfect if you like a clean licence!

The day involved racing the M4, hot laps with Tom Blomvqist and Jack Goff, off road driving the X5, skid pan driving and then track testing the fleet of M cars.

Such a great day, I couldn't help but share it with you!

It's a great day out, John Clark BMW invited me to one at Knockhill when they were up here (didn't realise X5's actually can go off-road!) Loved being on the track and the hot laps with the pros were proper mental!

Just to add, I've never even considered an M2 to be a car I'd even give a second glance to, but having driven it, it's just bonkers!
