xDrive Alpine Experience (Queenstown, New Zealand)

ttimbo · 08-08-2016, 02:55 PM

I had an excellent day at the Southern Hemisphere Proving Grounds near Queenstown, New Zealand driving all manner of BMW xDrive vehicles on snow and ice. Really impressed with the capability of these cars, and the transformation snow tyres make to grip and handling. The X1 handled the conditions really well! I'll post a video later.

We look forward to the pix/video.

A nice part of the world.

Hmmm....seems hard to add iPhone video to this site. Any tips?

Some photos
View of the proving ground from the helicopter that flew me there (stunning ride in itself!)
