It’s weird for some reason on this post I cannot see the original question I could see what I posted but I can’t see when anybody else is posting
I assume you are using the app? The poll in the first post is causing some sort of glitch in the app.

Hopefully when you get notified of this message you can get into the thread below the poll.
I'm also seeing a nothing but blank space on the app.
I don’t know why sometimes I can see what’s written here but right now I can’t see what’s written here so I was just reading what was in your email the training people, well my sales person was the one that went up there to learn everything they could about that car so she’s just a normal sales girl at the BMW dealer. It’s not really a trainer at the dealership I guess lack of better words to say.
Southern California dealers claim demo vehicles will be here at end of June.
My dealership manager says Southern New England dealerships won't receive any cars until October! Each will receive one car for test drives and a second they are allowed to sell, as their initial allocation.
As an update...I received an invite today from BMW to test drive the iX3 on June 19th. They have an event for this and you have to sign up for a timeslot. This is an event many of us have been waiting for to see the new iX3 in person for the first time and get to drive it. I think a lot of dealers are beginning to have such events in the month of June.

You’re in Mass? Is this a “Power of Choice” event? I’ve signed up to do an “Ultimate Driving Experience” day because none of the New England dealerships I’m talking to are giving clear info about how to test drive.
Yes. It’s the Power of Choice event on the 19th. The event am attending is at BMW of Peabody.
Yep, same here. Power of Choice event on June 17th.

I signed up for June 18 in the Washington, DC area for what is called "The Utlimate Driving Experience" event. They offered four days to choose from (06/18-06/21). This is the verbiage from the email:

NOW'S YOUR CHANCE TO STEP UP TO THE ULTIMATE.
 
 
Dear ,

Spots are filling up fast for the Ultimate Driving Experience. Don't miss your chance to take on the Autocross course in the BMW iX3 ahead of its nationwide rollout.

This year's event is packed with activities designed to test your drive and push it further. You'll take part in:

Autocross: Peel around corners and thread through cones on a course that tests your technical skills. Get exclusive access to the BMW iX3, and command the powerful BMW X3 M50.

Street Tours: Take the latest BMW models to your city's streets in a dynamic test drive experience.
 
The Sprint: An additional Autocross course to hone your skills after your professional instruction has concluded. Challenge the course with a fresh lineup of BMW performance models, including the M340i, i4 M60, X2 M35i, and M240i. No pre-registration required for this activity.

Venue: Northwest Stadium

Dates: June 18 - June 21
BMW Ultimate Driving Experience event this year will have iX3 as part of the autocross! They are starting really late this year as normally the first UDE event is around late March/early April. Presumably it's because they were waiting for the U.S. iX3 announcement and for the U.S. spec iX3s to be built for the event. There seems to be less locations this year probably because of the FIFA World Cup. For example, there is no UDE event at the MetLife Stadium in NJ presumably because it will host World Cup matches in June and July. Find your preferred city at the link below to register. First event is next week in Chicago. For now registration are open only for the June events which will take place in Chicago, Washington D.C., and Charlotte.

From the BMW UDE website:

"AUTOCROSS
Take on the course with exclusive access to the BMW iX3 and the powerful BMW X3 M50. Autocross is your opportunity to feel the next evolution of the Ultimate Driving Machine®. Step up to the challenge with guidance from a Professional Driving Instructor and feel the unmatched performance of BMW."
Power Of Choice campaign email just came in for me saying the iX3 won't be available, but they're going to have an X5 to test drive. So I've emailed to cancel my spot, because I'm not interested in the X5 at all.
I got the same email re the June 13 event in West Springfield, MA. I've signed up for an Ultimate Driving Experience day in Washington DC as that seems to be the only way to be sure I'll be driving an iX3.
Same email here too. I emailed them back to cancel.
I'm still deciding whether or not I want to try going to the Ultimate Driving Experience in DC. While it's clear that you can test drive the iX3 for the Autocross portion, it's unclear from the wording whether or not you can test drive an iX3 for the Street Tour portion which is what I'm actually interested in doing.
Spotted two in Denver today. These will be around for a few events in Colorado this weekend and the next.
