I would be interested in the M School at the VIR - if you guys decide to do another trip later. I've been to regular M school (twice), a 2 day Porsche racing school in Alabama and a BMW M school at the 'Ring. All of these schools have been first class... I am sure everyone will have a blast! Enjoy your trip!

One of the best "mods" I can invest in to increase the performance of my car is improving the link between the pedals and the stealing wheel! I'm checking the dates against my schedule and will try and make this work.

Fifth Gear did a 10 minute bit on this - same car, same driver, same track. They tried various mods one at a time (chip, exhaust, CAI I think etc.) and then lessons. The time improvement from the stock car with lessons blew away the time improvement from any mod.

Well it's going to be a good birthday to me this year! I just got off the phone with the Performane Center lady, and I booked the very last spot for the 2-Day ///M School 4-6 April. I was able to use my 1-Day ///M School voucher for the oil pump recall and they applied my 15% BMW CCA discount. Total came out to $1,823.00. Not too shabby I say. I figured that time frame would be feasible for me because I'll be in my last seminar in Grad School winding down and getting ready to graduate. I'll be flying in on the 4th into Charlotte, so lets coordinate plane flights so we can share a rental car together. My parents live in Greensboro, NC and will be coming down to pick me up on the night of the 6th, which will be nice cause I get to celebrate my birthday with them on the 7th, and I haven't been able to do that in about 7 years. Lol! Can't wait!

I am bummed. Called earlier today and no spots left
I therefore switched to the VIR program end of April. I would do both if I could; really wanted to make the ED reunion. Anybody here signed up for VIR end of April?

Planning on calling the performance ctr tomorrow to see if we can get an exception and have something special arranged for us board members and the ED folks ( 5 I think).
Stay tuned Glenn....

Do you guys know if we get a discount for M school by doing ED on a M car? I heard that somewhere, but cannot recall where.

Perfect the more ED'ers the better
I spoke to the Performance Center today and they are "working on it" and will get back to me. Stay tuned........ For those who called too late (Glenn) get your name on the waiting list as there is a chance to still get in if there is a cancelation, which does happen. They CANNOT increase the class size for us based on # of M cars. (who would want to get stuck in the Mini) This is going to be a blast. Maybe BMW TV will have to do a follow up piece...

Triple crown for you and I with the F10 Seville Munich Spartanburg. Have spoken to the Performance Ctr 2x. Still working on a Board Special..... Everyone here still in, I'm assuming? Which means at least 11/15 of us are from this post.
