I wonder how they will handle in the heat, and if they will succumb to overheating.

Hey its Vee from this past weekend at 2-Day ///M School
Thanks for the write-up and video. This was truly a pleasure and a blast! I'd compare it to Disney World for Car Enthusiasts. I just wished it didnt end! Now I need to get back into an ///M Car and do some track/autocross events this spring! |

I've heard others mention to avoid summers b/c of over heating issues. So take that for what it's worth. I don't know one way or the other.

The M5s are especially prone to going into transmission limp mode, even in May.

Great details and photos! Wondering if there were any age 17 or 18 in the group? Want to register my son in the 2-day M school. He wouldn't get his license at 16, so got him a M3 that he doesn't drive much. But when he does, he has a very heavy foot and seems he could use the 2-day M school. But don't want him to feel out of place with everyone or too young.

Great writeup. I did the school in 2010 and what a blast. But it should come with a disclaimer--it will lead to more expenses!
In my case, it lead to me trade in a mint e36 m3 nicely modded for street/track for an e90 M3 and two track sessions per season! |

as I've mentioned previously, visit the BMW Performance Driving School FAQ
look under "minimum age" http://www.bmwusa.com/Standard/Conte...SchoolFAQ.aspx or call 1-888-345-4269 if you have any other additional questions. Better to hear it from the center than me about restrictions.
