2 Day vs 1 Day M School

I am looking to do the M School. Does anyone have an opinion on the 1 day vs 2 day?

I'm leaning towards 2 day, but it's a pain to take 2 days out when these schools are usually on week days.

I haven't taken the class, but I plan to. If I'm going to have to pay for the class, I'll go for the 2 day class. I mean if your going to spend the money, spend the extra and get as much out of the class as you can. FYI, there is a BMWCCA discount on the class!

I did the 2 day. The 2nd day gives more sessions to put it all together (lapping time). Plus The helmet, jacket, 2 nights hotel, meals, and night out add to the experience.
You can add days to sight see and do the factory tour, which I highly recommend.

Just a question. When you do the PC Delivery, don't they give you that free hotel and free 1 day M school? Is that 1 day school equivalent to the 1st day if one does the 2-day? I wonder if it would be possible to avail of the PC Delivery option with the 1-day M School but then pay for the extra day to do the 2-day M school instead.

PCD and M School are different. PCD is a few exercises with a car like yours (whether a 3 or M5), an X5 off road demo, factory tour, and delivery time. The 1 day school is 7-8 on track sessions with M3, M5, and 1M ( to be replaced by M6).
The 1 day used to be included with an M5/M6 purchase but apparently no more.

Thanks for the info. I am doing a PCD. So I guess I might as well sign up for the 2 Day M School. Hopefully there would be one scheduled close to when I expect to pick up my car. This way, I can have a 3-day BMW experience.

i was also under the impression the PCD was equivalent to 1 day M School. If anybody finds out about adding a 2nd day or coinciding PCD with 2dayM school please post info.

PCD is not the 1 day M school. I have not don PCD, but from what I understand there is not a lot of time behind the wheel of the cars in that "school" you will be put in a car similar to the one you purchased, and have some training on how to drive that style of car. Not a M school, but still sounds fun and is free and includes the hotel/food.

I have done PCD. Think of it as a 30 second commercial for car control school plus a factory tour. It is nothing like the M School.
