No-Police Academy

Petrolheads can play at the BMW Driving Academy near Munich without worrying about speed limits and the lack of self-control.

IN case you haven’t already realised, petrolheads elsewhere have it much better than we do. Say, for instance, you live in Munich, have a penchant for fast BMWs, and have the urge to pedal some metal in a safe, controlled setting.

No need to cross a border and drive 350 kilometres to get to the nearest racetrack, as we do. Just 30 kilometres from the Bavarian capital is BMW’s impressive driver training facility, a converted military and civilian airport near the town of Maisach.
