Roadtrip: Off to school... Performance Driving M School
Signed up today for the August 20th, 2 day M school in SC.
Received a 15% discount ($494) for being a BMWCCA member ($50 dues annually for wife & I). Any others signed up for these dates? Also, any suggestions, advice, words of wisdom, or things not to miss would be greatly appreciated as it will be our first time in the area. Thanks

Have Fun.
I went in January with out any experience of driving on a track, the instructors, the facility and the cars are first rate. Wish I was heading back there right now. Maybe Advanced M School next year? |

I've been a couple of tracks but never with an M3, so I'm quite excited to put theirs through the paces w/o that fear of wrecking my own car that I've had on other track events. lol

You are going to have a great time! I recently wrote a review of the school on Bimmerfest after winning a contest on their site.
Here's the link if you are interested: http://www.bimmerfest.com/forums/sho...351&highlight= Enjoy you time there; you will learn a lot. Cheers, Tom

I was really hoping to make this date, but I had to change my plans!!! I am quite disapointed that I will be missing this event, to say the least...

I want to go! I've enjoyed my car experience so much more since I started attending high speed driver's education events, and I think the M-school would be a great one.

We decided to make a mini-vaca out of it with the kids and driving there with a stop over in Orlando. We should be getting there and checking in on the afternoon of 19th and staying until Sunday. You flying in from Cali?

Yes, I'm flying to Houston to visit family and then I'm off to Greenville. I get in around 4 on Thursday. What's the fam going to do while you tear it up at M School? I wanted to bring someone but it sounded like they can't really do much but sit on the sidelines and be jealous .

Just returned today from the one day M school. INCREDIBLE LEARNING EXPERIENCE!!!! You AND your guest get to flogg all the M cars in their fleet. Don't want to give too much away, but wait for the surprise at the end of the day!!
Arrival day, depending on time you will be treated to a great dinner at Giatu, right at the hotel. Very comfortable accomodations, rooms are great, service and staff top notch. Drive morning you get full breakfast buffet, meet and great other M owners. Lunch buffet at the Performance Center. Dinner is on you drive night, however you get breakfast the departing day. Overall great experience and can't wait for the video. |

Cool...thanks! Just had dinner which was pretty good and you're right, the staff is great. It seems as if everyone at this Marriott is here for either a BMW delivery or school. LOL When I returned to my room, I had an M logo jacket and polo shirt waiting for me
So far, a very top notch experience! Can't wait until tomorrow!!!
