BMW "Other Roads" Off Road Course

JSpira · 07-08-2012, 04:37 PM

A few weeks ago, I did Performance Center Delivery and picked up an X5 diesel.

One of the highlights for me was the Other Roads off-road course we drove as well as the braking, slalom, and skidpad exercises. I'm not sure if tilting the X5 by 45° or driving through 22" of standing water was my favorite part but it was fun.

The typical program doesn't use the X5 on the skidpad but I was able to take an X5 onto the skidpad during the lunch break and it was fun.

A complete write-up (with 7 X5 slide shows on the last page including one dedicated to Other Roads) is online here -BMW Factory Delivery at the Spartanburg Performance Center: 2012 BMW X5 xDrive35d

Below are some photos.

Great write up. Sounds like something fun and instructive to do. I'm sure I have a PCD in my future... Thanks.
