BMW invited owners of the new 6 series out to the performance center in Greenville, SC
All you had to do is get there and you?re treated to a 2 day event with all expenses paid for.
Arrival Day- Dinner at the Marriot I had time to burn so I went shopping.
Event Day One- Breakfast then drive on the BMW Performance Center track with professional drivers on the skid pad and slalom and time trials, of course I pulled the lowest time in the group at 25.something seconds the pros can get it down to 21.
We then took a drive up the interstate to the Grove Park spa/inn located in Ashville, NC cars valet parked check into your room and have cocktail reception and dinner.
Event Day Two- Breakfast then check in for your appointed massage or facial at the spa.
Departed the grove park drove on a few twisty roads then lunch at the La Bastide in the middle nowhere.
Immediately after leaving, this older gentleman in the group almost killed himself and his passenger a younger kid.
I was 2 cars behind and saw the car flip in the air just like in the movies it looked bad until I got closer and saw the car upside down in the bushes.
We ran down to check there health and they were all ok minus the bloody face from hitting is head on the rear view mirror and the passenger was ok but was complained about stomach pain.
The trip was cool otherwise, check the photos here.
I never seen that many M3, M5 and Z8.
