I had one of my best driving experiences when Tire Rack invited me to come out to Indiana to learn about the difference between winter and summer tires. First I drove the cars on the ice rink at Notre Dame, first with summer tires then with winter tires. Both times I tried to floor it, turn, and come to a sudden stop. The difference was unbelievable.

We also got to drive the bad ass BMW on TireRack’s test drive track at their headquarters. The track consisted of different terrain, wet spots, slick spots, straight aways, and sharp turns. It was my first time driving a BMW and they are correct when they say it’s styled to thrill, it also is a thrill to drive! I love how much power you get from this sport superstar. It has the technology to make every drive your personal best, whether it’s a challenge or a commute. A standard enhancement for serious drivers. Projects your speed, selected gear, and a color-specific digital rev-counter with shift lights, right where you’re looking – at every corner and straightaway making driving on the track a piece of cake. Of course it also had the correct tires!  The aggressive style with the adrenalized design of the M4, from the large bumper air intakes and Air Breathers on the fenders, to the integrated rear trunk spoiler and quad exhaust make you want to go off course and take it across country for an epic road trip!

The BMW is a car everyone needs to experience at least once with its smooth drive, fierce power, and looks that can kill . Car parts for BMW you can find here.
