BMW sponsored a track day, where potential M3 buyers were all given a chance to drive flat out on an enclosed track at the Autobahn Country Club, in Joliet, IL, to get a feel for how the cars perform. It was a lead follow event, with instructors driving X5Ms and X6Ms, and regular folks following in M3s. When asked about how strange it was having SUV's leading, the pro drivers said, these M3's, no matter how good of a driver you are, will not be able to pass the X5Ms and X6Ms on this track.
