Thanks DaShocker. I went to one of these events, and it was awesome. They let you do WHATEVER to the cars. If you're in the area , you MUST check it out. I do not want to hi-jack the thread, but they are already a bunch of spy pics for the next gen Alpina B7...looks sweet imo. The new 7 looks great. The black 7 looks hot!

It just keeps saying "registration is closed for all the events in your area". Tried both Seattle, WA and San Jose, CA.

The breast cancer drive has already been through the West Coast.

It was about 2-3 months ago.

Although I have been waiting for a event for the BMW Ultimate Drive, but haven't gotten any invitations.

I also drove the Alpina B7 at the event in St. Louis, WOW! It belongs on a race track! The power is amazing and it does not sacrifice luxury.

Actually, I posted a thread about it locally here https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...+DRIVING+EVENT I will make a thread for those who will be out of the loop of the BMW event. I had the pleasure of thrashing the RS4 the last time around
