Extreme driving experience
More than 40ha of snowy tussock country will be transformed this month into a high-horsepower, tyresliding racetrack especially for a fleet of BMW X and M Range vehicles. The BMW Alpine Experience is held at the Southern Hemisphere Proving Grounds on Mt Pisa, 1500m above sea level, between Queenstown and Wanaka and is open to everyone. Pay $3500 and you'll get a full driving experience, two nights at the luxurious Millbrook Resort in Arrow town, food and drinks and local transfers. A helicopter ride from Queenstown to the driving event will zip you over snow-capped mountain peaks, glaciers, waterfalls, ski resorts and vineyards. This high adrenaline winter event is on from June 27 to July 5.
