Auto-x is a relatively low speed driving event with relatively little risk to you and your car. It involves a road course type of track that is created using orange cones. One car at a time runs against the clock. It usually takes place in a large empty parking lot.

This form of motorsport is low cost (relatively speaking) and is a great way to practice car control skills with virtually no risk. I strongly encourage you to attend a BMW CCA event to watch and see what you think. If you are in So Cal you should attend the event to watch. The instructors are always happy to give rides and it is generally a good time!
