This year, it\u2019s a bit different, as it focuses also on BMW\u2019s new electric vehicles, which earns it the \u201cUltimate Driving Experience Evolved\u201d name. However, there are still some great M cars on hand to drive. And the best part about it is that it\u2019s free.<\/p>\n<h2>Three Different Driving Experiences<\/h2>\n<p>There are three driving events at the Ultimate Driving Experience: Autocross, Lead-Follow, and Street Drives. The latter is pretty self-explanatory, you get to drive the all-new BMW iX on the street, to test out the electric flagship of BMW\u2019s lineup. You can also test a few of BMW\u2019s newest cars (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2022\/01\/18\/2022-bmw-m440i-gran-coupe-review\/\">M440i Gran Coupe<\/a>, M550i, X4 M40i, X5 M50i, and the X7 M50i) on the street.<\/p>\n<h2>Autocross with BMW i4 M50<\/h2>\n<p><noscript><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-432440\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/bmw-i4-experience-the-evolution-830x830.jpg\" alt=\"bmw i4 experience the evolution 830x830\" width=\"830\" height=\"830\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/bmw-i4-experience-the-evolution-830x830.jpg 830w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/bmw-i4-experience-the-evolution-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/bmw-i4-experience-the-evolution-120x120.jpg 120w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/bmw-i4-experience-the-evolution-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/bmw-i4-experience-the-evolution-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/bmw-i4-experience-the-evolution.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\" title=\"image of bmw i4 experience the evolution 830x830\"\/><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-medium wp-image-432440\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20830%20830%22%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/bmw-i4-experience-the-evolution-830x830.jpg\" alt=\"bmw i4 experience the evolution 830x830\" width=\"830\" height=\"830\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/bmw-i4-experience-the-evolution-830x830.jpg 830w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/bmw-i4-experience-the-evolution-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/bmw-i4-experience-the-evolution-120x120.jpg 120w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/bmw-i4-experience-the-evolution-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/bmw-i4-experience-the-evolution-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/bmw-i4-experience-the-evolution.jpg 1080w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\" title=\"image of bmw i4 experience the evolution 830x830\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Of course, the other two experiences are even more interesting. Let\u2019s start with the Autocross event, which is probably the most fun. As with most autocross events, the course is small, tight, and technical and requires precision steering and on-point braking for success. The car you can use in the Autocross event is a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2022\/07\/08\/bmw-i4-m50-test-drive\/\">BMW i4 M50<\/a>, which is a lot of fun with its 536 horsepower. Typically, Autocross events are timed and they can get pretty competitive, so fun is guaranteed.<\/p>\n<h2>Lead-Follow On Track<\/h2>\n<p><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-432441\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/bmw-m3-m4-track-00-830x553.jpg\" alt=\"bmw m3 m4 track 00 830x553\" width=\"830\" height=\"553\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/bmw-m3-m4-track-00-830x553.jpg 830w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/bmw-m3-m4-track-00-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/bmw-m3-m4-track-00-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/bmw-m3-m4-track-00-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/bmw-m3-m4-track-00.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\" title=\"image of bmw m3 m4 track 00 830x553\"\/><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-medium wp-image-432441\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20830%20553%22%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/bmw-m3-m4-track-00-830x553.jpg\" alt=\"bmw m3 m4 track 00 830x553\" width=\"830\" height=\"553\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/bmw-m3-m4-track-00-830x553.jpg 830w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/bmw-m3-m4-track-00-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/bmw-m3-m4-track-00-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/bmw-m3-m4-track-00-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/bmw-m3-m4-track-00.jpg 1920w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\" title=\"image of bmw m3 m4 track 00 830x553\"\/><\/p>\n<p>The other event is a lead-follow track session. There quite a few cars to choose from for the lead-follow event, such as the new BMW M3, M4, M5, M8, X4 M, and X5 M. In a lead-follow track session, you follow behind an instructor, who will be on the radio giving you instructions. It\u2019s not only a great way to really push a car safely on track but it also helps make you a better driver, as the instructor will give you turn-by-turn instructions on how to approach each corner. Lead-follow sessions are great for rookie track drivers, as it allows them to be a bit looser and enjoy the car more.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re interested in this BMW Ultimate Driving Experience in Chicago, <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3K1bQ8U\">reserve your spot today<\/a> and bring your friends with. For many enthusiasts, these events are the only opportunities to drive new BMWs, especially M cars, so it\u2019s great that BMW offers it for free.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chicagoland BMW Centers are calling all thrill seekers \u2014 get ready to experience the evolution of BMW at Autobahn Country Club in Chicago on August 25-27.
