I think all do work that way. Jeep had rigged this Wrangler to work the opposite way just to let people try it. They don't sell them that way... even in Australia.

 

Saw that on BMW USA's Facebook page. Who knows? Maybe it was hacked to phish information.

 

My cousin drove a Rolls Royce at a Morgan Stanley outing for wealthy customers. The sales man asked him what he drove as they were inthe middle of his testdrive, my cousing answered 'a crown Victoria', the guy told him to turn the car around and go back.

 

That's pretty funny and sad. When I worked at a big accounting firm in their personal finance group, we had a client worth over $200mm and he always drove up to the office in a Crown Vic. He didn't care about cars one bit.

 

I did the same event "BMW Ultimate Driving" 2 years ago, it was more like a charity event where they partnered with Suzan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation and they donated 1 dollar for every mile you drive, not sure if its the same event this year but I did drive the cars my self without any sales person setting next to me, in fact the whole thing wasn't associated with the dealer, they simply hosted the event in my area, and they moved the same cars from state to state all year, so if that's what it is in the email you received I would certainly do it, I did drive pretty much all BMW line up including the E92 M3 and the X6 (it was very new at that time).

 

It's legit. I signed up for it. They have a comparo at your local bmw dealer. I signed up to test the 3 series vs a lexus.

 

Beat the piss out of them Raj. I'm driving the all-new 535i on the 22nd. Sooo far. :-( It will be my first encounter with the N55 engine. Bye-bye N54.

 

I decided to do the 3 series because we have the 535 even though the '11 is a different car, plus the smaller cars will be fun to abuse/throw around.
