Last Friday I was invited by my BMW dealer to attend the the BMW drive and sail event. Simply an outstanding experience.
We met by a marina at 9 o'clock in the morning, were welcomed with a five stars breakfast and divided in two groups. My group started with the sailing match race. After a briefing where we were told how a are the sailing match race rules we were taken out to the sailing area. We spent about three hours racing on nice 5 persons boats each lead by a skipper that has attended some world race.
After finished the sailing race we went back to the marina were we has a beautiful lunch. After lunch we did the test drive of one of the 20 cars at our disposal The test drive consisted in a 89 km tour through county roads changing the car each 20 km so everybody could test 4 different cars. The cars for the test were X3, M1, M3, 530d GT, 550i, 650i, 740d, X5M and X6M.
I choose the 550i and the 740d and I did drive them for half of the tour each. Both fantastic cars and actually very similar as handling and comfort.

Then on Satruday I had the chande to test drive the new Ducati Diavel, but this is probably a stroy for another forum.
