BMW CCA Rally

Paladin1 · 05-05-2024, 07:34 PM

Had a chance to drive in the Spring Rally with the Great Plains BMW CCA Chapter this afternoon, 133 miles home to home, around 50 miles on the course around the prairie twisties (not "twisters," thank goodness). Great fun, great companions, great rolling prairie scenery and more importantly, excellent micro-brewed beer at the end!

And a chance to really wring out the iX50, keeping up nose-to-tail with a variety of M3, M4, M5, Comps and very sprinty sedans otherwise. What a ride! Did the same a couple of years back, and for all the "ain't it awful, heavy lumbering beast" crowd, this car can hang. A lot. Look for us in the next Roundel. That is all.

Very cool. I’ll keep my eyes out when the next issue arrives.

Sounds like a great, fun day. Glad you enjoyed. We'll have to look out for a NE one.
