These two days will be more about you than about the car, so just the basics on the car. Tire pressures, driving position, settings for the steering, shocks, etc. and work on what you as a driver need to do for better lap times. As you get more experience and feel, then you might tweak the car a bit to fit in with your driving style. If you're able, find someone experienced with the track you're at and follow him for a few laps to get the feel for the lines needed.
My guess with a car like the powerful but heavy M5 would be to find your braking points for the corners and then try slow and controlled into the turn which should allow you to hit the gas early on the way out to take advantage of all the power. I haven't had mine on track yet, so just a guess. Be sure to have fun!!
