(click on the "countdown to bmw M3" link)

in nuburgring, germany on september 19th and 20th bmw is offering a handful of people an opportunity to test drive and track the new m3. you can apply for a seat by filling out a short form on the website. perhaps our german members or those who plan on being in germany would consider applying for a seat, bringing the precious details back to the forum in the form of a review.

"ON THE AGENDA...."

"On the evening of Day 1, dinner will be served at the BMW VIP lounge at 'the ring.' Day 2 will provide you with a chance to familiarise yourself with the wealth of innovations in the new BMW M3 Coupe. Then comes the ultimate driving experience - a chance to test the power and agility of the new BMW M3 Coupe for yourself on the challgenging F1 Grand Prix track."

the website also has a few other interesting bits of information as already mentioned by epacy. it's worth a look.

good luck to all who have applied!

Hans Delbruck · 05-27-2007, 08:29 PM

Thanks for the link! I signed up for the chance also.

esquire · 05-27-2007, 09:29 PM

hans are you planning to fly in if you win?

SS32 · 05-28-2007, 03:41 PM

I signed up, and then I saw this. I'm not going to be ANYWHERE near there then, but I think I could arrange if I won.

skierman64 · 05-28-2007, 04:55 PM

I'm sure the F1 track will be a blast, however it's too bad they aren't letting the lucky winners drive the Nordschleife track. I'd love to get some more laps there.

I signed up. I hope they give us about a month's notice so I can get tickets and make work arrangements.

MisterBMW · 05-28-2007, 08:09 PM

is it only me who cannot see anything on the BMW site....hmm...whats wrong with my computer?

Here is to the off chance. Hopefully I fit the demographic well enough.

skierman64 · 05-30-2007, 09:58 PM

I wonder what they are looking for in demographics and the 100 word essay?

MojorisinM3 · 06-02-2007, 01:09 PM

When I go to the site, I can see the agenda, etc. All those links work.

but when I click on "register" nothing happens? Anybody know why this isnt working? or can somebody else try it to confirm its me or the site? I tried on 3 of my computers and it doesnt work on any of them...

esquire · 06-02-2007, 03:44 PM

for those who haven't seen it yet... you can find a "countdown to M3" video at the bottom of the countdown to M3 page. the link says "Download (WMV, 3 MB)"
