The former “Tonight Show” host – Jay Leno – teams up with actor Laurence Fishburne for a lively look at BMW automobiles and motorcycles, past and present. The segment takes place at the new West Coast BMW Performance Driving Center at The Thermal Club, a premier private motorsports facility, in Thermal, CA.
During the episode – which aired Wednesday, October 21 at 10 p.m. on CNBC-TV – Jay and “Fish” drive up to the Thermal BMW Performance Center in a BMW i8, where they are greeted by BMW Performance Center Manager Dan Gubitosa.
