That is what I'm talking about! Can you imagine an entire M school class filled with forum members! Real enthusiasts!

I am passing on the "compensation" of the M School from BMW NA. Although it was a nice gesture doesnt seem like much compensation when I have to pay out of pocket for airfare and hotel. Cut me a check for the value of the M School. That means more to me then having to pay $500-$700 to attend a "compensation" for my M5 issues.
Sorry to complain. Just my $.02 |

I did the M school when it used to come with the E60 M5's. It's ok. I much rather just do a local track day. There are so many good tracks in CA especially for us guys in NorCal with infineon, thunderhill and Laguna Seca. You will get a lot more track time with the likes of Hooked on Driving and others and they have quality instruction.

I got cash instead of the voucher so it was a non-issue. I told them at the time I had booked the 2 day (although I had not gotten round to it) and they gave me a check instead.

I'd join for the 2 day school. Spain was a blast. Would need to plan ahead though.....

Ok who wants to step up and propose a date? I would suggest in late feb or march for weather reasons and time to plan.

I did confirm that you can use the voucher for the 2 day school and pay the difference.

I went to the 2-Day M performance school last month and would have regretted it if I had only done the 1-Day. You get to do more the second day which reinforces/enhances the skills you have learned the first day. I especially liked the track and the competition we all had to go through. We got to do things that I probably will not do on purpose with my M5 but would know how to do them in case the occasion arises. I believe I will now feel more comfortable if my M5 does a side slip or a "pirouette" in snowy conditions as I know how to do them intentionally and deal with them.
