i would prefer a driving school just for the f10 m5. $2500 would justify that.
not really interested in driving an m3 or 1m.. maybe m6

I am tempted...
But that is a lot for 1 day. Plus it doesn't look like meals and lodging are included like in M Schools.

I received the same email. The agenda sounds alot like the M5 Driving Experience that came free with the E39 and E60 M5s. It was a fun experience - I did it for all 3 of my previous M5s. But the only hard cost was the flight down to Atlanta and a rental car (about $500 total). I'm not sure it's worth $2,500. I'll probably just cross my fingers and hope they reinstate the complimentary M5 DE for the F10 M5.

FYI, the cost does not include lodging or transportation to/from the airport, track, etc.
Plus the 8th is already sold out.....

Wow, very expensive, compared to what BMW Germany will charge you for a day of fun and instructions at the Ring in the homeland (about 500-600 USD, M3 track time).
