See why BMW vehicles are the Ultimate Driving Machines as you race against the clock to complete an autocross obstacle course in brand-new BMWs.

Conquer the test of time as you drive to beat the clock. Our Timed Autocross course is designed for drivers ready to test their skills and make every second count.

SOME LIKE IT HOT -SOLD OUT

Fully helmeted experience at full speed. These have scheduled times and we will be communicating those over the next weeks. Keep an eye on your email.

After some track time fun, Kirk Cordill, Dealer Principal of BMW of Schererville and Jaguar Land Rover South Shore, has a wonderful evening planned with dinner, an open bar, live entertainment, and a silent auction.

A participant is directed towards the car they will be driving Banquet: the guests enjoy food and drinks after the festivities Go Karts race past a handful of spectators

It’s hard to imagine this is Cordill’s 6th Heartbeats and Horsepower Event. Time flies! It’s personal for Kirk; his father-in-law suffered a massive stroke while recovering from open-heart surgery, and his father had a stent and undergone an ablation. Giving back to causes that make a difference in the lives of ourselves and our loved ones is truly an honor. That’s why Cordill covers all expenses of putting on the event – 100% of the event proceeds support the American Heart Association.
