Hello, Questers!

Day 2 of the iQOO International Fan Meet in Thailand started with an early wakeup call in Thai, and I opened the door and got up from bed quickly instead of sticking to the bed after the alarm like every day. Prepared quickly in order to contain all of the excitement of the BMW driving experience that would occur on the day and had a fantastic breakfast buffet at the Atlier restaurant at Pullman.

We took about an hour of travel from the hotel to reach the BMW Drive Experience centre in Bangkok. A convoy of beast-like BMW 330e M Sport cars with iQOO branding was waiting to welcome us. I just got struck by the beauty of the cars and started clicking pictures. I walked around and found the next set of BMW iX getting ready, and the excitement got higher and higher. Then we had a very warm welcome by the BMW team with snacks, unique Thai soft drinks, etc., and had our registrations done.

After that,  we moved to the introduction session. It gives a very insightful view of how to drive a car more responsibly and safely, explains all the things about the race track and about the drive experience session, and then we take the cars to the race track as two people in one car, guided by a BMW expert trainer.

We were divided into two groups: group A was riding the BMW iX in the first round, and group B was riding the BMW 330e M Sport.

It was like a dream: I was sitting in the most luxurious BMW iX with iQOO branding and driving it for the first time; my hands were shivering because of the excitement it created. I just pushed the accelerator, and the real beast, the BMW iX, started moving like a chettah. We went to the track, and we started our guided practise with the BMW trainers.

We had done many exercises for improving and making the best driving practises in real life, which allowed us to do anything as instructed without any fear because it was not our own car and it was owned by BMW. 

The driving experience was extraordinary. The trainers were very helpful, correcting us and giving tips for improvement all the time without any hesitation.

After a scrumptious lunch, we changed our car to a BMW 330e M Sport from iX. The experience of drifting on the track was extraordinary and created a real power flow in me. It was so hard to believe-driving the car fast, going crazy with drifting, braking hard, etc. It was a great experience for all of us.

Then the most incredible thing ever happened: the beast of beasts, the mighty all-new BMW X4 M, arrived at the track for the slalom challenge. It was the most fantastic experience I've ever had, creating a true adrenaline rush in me.

I completed the Slalom challenge in the fourth position with a time of 17.73 seconds. We were all awarded certificates and official BMW goodies and had a great photoshoot with these great cars.

This was the day I experienced the real reason for the alliance of iQOO's partnership with BMW's Motorsport division, as The two brands' philosophies are very similar: High Performance and Speed.

After the BMW Experience, we went to the fabulous Rang Mahal hotel, where everything has a royal touch and style. We had a great Indian dinner with some soothing live hindi music, returned to the hotel, and continued my exploration of Thai streets.

This was all about Day 2 of the iQOO International Fan Meet in Thailand.
