Buckle up at the BMW Performance Center

There are only two BMW driving courses in the nation, and the BMW Performance Center in Thermal is one of them. It is one of the most exhilarating things to do in Greater Palm Springs. Tires squeal. Engines turn. Rubber burns. And while learning everything there is to know about driving, drivers of all experience levels can take the newest BMW cars for a spin.

Visit the BMW Performance Center in Thermal if you like your equipment on the ground. Driving lessons range from two hours to a full day, and include both time on the track and group or private tuition. Several vehicles, including the X and M series, are available for you to drive during the Performance Drive experience, allowing you to maneuver around tight curves and quick straightaways as well as participate in an accelerated lap with an instructor that includes drifting.
