BMW xDrive models are capable of getting themselves into – and then out of – some impressive locations and situations, and there’s no better place to experience the impressive all-wheel drive technology for yourself than at the BMW Alpine xDrive Experience.
Now in its seventh year, the event is gaining an international reputation as the best possible way to experience BMW models in the ice and snow.
Set high above the Cardona Valley, the secret test location of the Southern Hemisphere Proving Ground is an automotive playground of epic proportions.
BMW New Zealand Managing Director, Florian Renndorfer, had his first experience of the winter test facility last year and was amazed at the capability demonstrated by the BMW X5.
“BMW represents the Ultimate Driving Machine and there’s nothing like the feeling only a BMW SUV can provide. The BMW X5 is the epitome of driving excellence in this class, delivering sports performance combined with an engaging, rewarding driving experience,” said Mr Renndorfer.
“The BMW X5 is the ultimate sports activity vehicle for New Zealanders as it also offers generous interior space and comfort, seven-seat capability as well as outstanding efficiency. It’s no small wonder it continues to enjoy such resounding success year after year.
The 2016 edition of the BAxD is shaping up to be the best yet thanks to the full range of BMW xDrive SUV models, including the country’s most popular premium SUV – the BMW X5, being available to be driven in the most unique of environments.
“With two nights accommodation at Millbrook Resort, a spectacular helicopter transfer to the test facility, a full day at the Proving Ground, a stop at the historic Cardrona Hotel and a celebration dinner to finish, there are very few other opportunities anywhere in the world which come close to showcasing BMW product in such an impressive way,” said Mr Renndorfer.
“I’m looking forward to getting back to Queenstown and sharing this spectacular event with like-minded enthusiasts.”
