Had great fun to day at APAC centre, Glenmarie. My time slot was at 9 am once there we were briefed then off we go to the cars which is a row of E60 (i got the 523i) for our 1st event which is the emergency braking and emergency lane changing exercise ... It's basically a short runway line up by cones where at the end on the runway we are expected to hit hard or stomped as my feisty and experienced racing driver mr. Ivan Kong say stomped it as hard as you can, then swerve to the right and onto the adjacent runway ... That excersice is to show the braking ability of the E60 and the effectiveness of the ABS in assisting to break and manouevre out of harm's way.after 10 - 15mins we went on to the next course which is my favourite out of all 4 which is autocrossing event ... Again the course was made up with cones ... Off the line we accelerate and do a short slalom course then do a 180 degrees turn then accelerate at the end of the runway where we do a quick right and left turn (lane changing) before doing another 180 degress turn on to a short left and right turn and bring a car to a stop. We did that for another 4-5 times .... I miss the lane changing that mr. Ivan shouted on the walkie talkie "you have so much adrenaline that your blood didn't reach your head arrr!!! " Wakakakakakaka 
After that we line -up behind another instructor car which is a beautiful E90 325i M-Sport for an acceleration drive outside the APAC centre unto the main road ... There we hit speeds up to 140-160 km/h and i must say the way the E60 soaks up the imperfection on the road was superb ... there was a pothole that i didn't manage to avoid but the the way the E60 absorbs the impact it's like it saying back to me " what pothole?" ... It's very comfortable highway cruiser i must say tho a bit lacking in power.there are two part of the final event which is a briefing on the correct driving position and a demo of the X5 intelligent 4 wheel drive system which is the X-drive.All in all an excellent, adrenaline filled fun event and it's all free :top::top::top: Big thanks to Sapura BMW and BMW M'sia for organising such an event :love: :top: and also thanks to the BMW driving instructors that was there today earlier in the morning- Mr. Ivan Kong, el-presidente Mr. Wong and few others (sorry can't remember their name),p/s: i'm still wearing a big smile ... lol
