"The response to BMW Driver Training has been phenomenal and has convinced us
to expand the program by adding 19 additional days for 2003," states Manfred
Braunl, National Marketing Manager for BMW Group Canada. "The experience gained
by participants about vehicle reaction in out of the ordinary situations such
as when ABS and stability control systems are activated provides invaluable
preparation for everyday driving. Not to mention the big smiles on the faces of
participants at the end of the day!"

allowing participants the opportunity to challenge their driving skills by
pushing a BMW 330i beyond the normal driving experience on a closed circuit
