BMW Winter Training @ Sölden / Austria
Hi all!
Today I returned from a very nice trip to Sölden / Austria I attended a BMW Winter Training from Wednesday to Friday and want to share some pics with you. I guess many of you know already the different BMW Trainings, so this is probably nothing new.. but maybe I can surprise some of you. We had to handle a slalom track, braking, braking + lane change, drifting and 180° switch with the 330i on the first day and the second day we were driving up the hill with the X5 on closed roads, totally covered with snow.. But the coolest part was the drifting exercise with the 330i If you would like to read the entire story, check out the post in my blog BMW Wintertraining Sölden So.. enough of talking, here are the pics.. hope you like them The hole group stayed at the Central Spa Hotel Sölden Driving up the mountain the other day View from the road The training area @ 2.800 Meters (~ 9.000 FT) Ready to start Instructor Günter Schillinger Training area.. in the background the skiing area Braking excercises 180° Turn Some videos showing winter training: If someone wants to know additional informations, just start asking Regards, Chris

330 is available in other markets, but not in the US/Canada.

BMW offers the hole winter period from December till March the Winter Trainings.. besides Sölden, there is also a 1-day Training at Lungau (Austria) offered. You just have to sign up at the german BMW side (http://www.bmw.de/de/de/insights/dri.../overview.html).

I'm thinking about signing up... basically I'm debating whether I should save the $795+tax and put it towards a summer driving course (like the Advanced course). Would you say it's really worth it?

IMHO its much more better than the summer training i attended till now. The exercises are pure fun in the snow and the landscape, training-programm etc. made the two days perfect..! In short words like Nike says: Just do it!
