I’ve gone the past 2 years. They gave the timeslots figured out. The only thing that sucks is that for the steeet drives, they only have 1 of each car, so a line can form for the more desirable cars (in my experience, those were the 850 and the X3M)

Twice the fun at MetLife this Sunday... MSNE autocross and BMW UDE!
Attached the street drive menu from last year. The iX was better than I expected and sorta fun. If you go in the morning, there is usually little to no wait for the best like X3M and M850i. |

Plenty of interesting cars to drive and see, I have always found this event enjoyable.

I was in the queue to drive the Z4 street drive, but someone appartently got in an accident with the gasser 7 and they shut it all down before I got my chance to go. Got a ride in the i7 that my cousin was driving. Really comfortable and really boring. Ultimate passenger riding machine for sure. Seat adjustments via the touch screen were kind of flakey. And not being able to make most adjustments while the driver was doing something with nav ( or adjusting their own seat ) was a bit frustrating. I dont know if you can configure a split screen for both driver and passenger to be adjusting things simultaneously. The voice control did not work -at all-. |

I went today. Got to drive the m240i ona street drive and some autocross in the i4 and 330e. Was decently fun. There were some issues or delays with the street drive being closed (some speculation someone had crashed or similar).
Not sure I’d do it again just from a time spent waiting vs time driving. There were no m cars or suvs |

I want to go to one of these. Nashville would be the best location for me but I can’t find any info on it. It’s listed in the OP but not on the bmw site. Anyone know anything about it?

I was happy I got to drive the M240i, since M2s are not available for test drives. Boy the latest M240i with the 382HP moves. iDrive 8 was nice and responsive, certainly much better than i7 - not sure why people are complaining about it. Almost made me question buying an M240i instead of dealing with M2 allocation drama. Only disappointment is that the rear seat headroom is substantially less than F82 M2. |

Went to UDE at Metlife Stadium with a buddy yesterday. Cold and rainy, but still a good time.
We autocrossed with both 330e hybrid and also an i4 M50. i4 M50 felt like a fast golf cart! The brake regen was a very weird feeling on an autocross, especially with no engine noise). Definitely would need the Borla digital sound amplifier. I was in the San Remo? Green i4 M50 in front. Apologies for the crummy pic. Overcast & rainy from my friend's archaic iphone!

Does anyone have a copy of the UDE voucher terms and conditions that was emailed following this event? Limitations of region where it can be used? Please post a screenshot or details from it. Thanks.

Last UDE event I was at (last fall) we didn’t get vouchers. Also didn’t get one from an M track days event I did. I’m not sure if they’re doing them at the moment.
