This past Monday I went to the BMW CCA - Boston Chapter High Performance Driver Education Event (HPDE) at New Hampshire Motor Speedway. It was awesome. If you have ever dreamed of taking your car to the track, you should check out one of these events.

I took my 550i and there was another one there also. Couple of E39 M5's then a ton of M3's and 3 series and a sweet 86 535is. Couple of Porsches, Lotus, etc.

anyway, awesome time and can't wait to go back again.

Track days are always fun. The 550i does amazingly well. I've taken mine to VIR twice.
