Just finished the experience today. It was raining which made it even more fun. This experience is not instructional as in car control/M Day, but about experiencing these cars in an environment other than the road. It should get someone’s appetite up. It also takes the edge off of going to a track. A lot everyday people there seeing what this is about. This program started 4 weeks ago. They explained it if you purchased a new BMW in 2020, you could go. It is for the owner and a guest. I would suggest that if your situation is different, call the number. They were very helpful when I called.

Another neat option beyond this is private instruction. $400 per hour, minimum two hours. You pick the car, the instructor, and what item(s) you want to focus on. I talked to the chief instructor and he suggested that for a first time, not to go to far beyond two hours one on one. Unlike the experiences/classes, there is not as much down time (since you typically rotate drivers) and you are most likely working on the areas that are most problematic for you. A lot of good options.

Me three. Says it's a $598 value and that a guest will cost $299. New Owner's Track Drive - sounds interesting.

Seems like a few hours on a bunch of non m cars in the track. Has anyone who has been on this event care to let us know which cars You get to drive and how long you get to drive them? I’ve been on some launch events and they set up a parking lot track. This seems better, but is it worth driving 2-3 hours each way to go?

It is a sampler of BMWs. When we went in August ( I think this was their third or fourth owners event), they had a z4 M40i, M340, X4MC. There were 6 in our group. M240i would have been added if there were 7 or 8. We spent two hours driving on the lower small track. We also took X5s on the off road coarse. You are paired up, so you drive half the time and your partner(if you take someone) drives the other half. We rotated thru all 3 vehicles on the track portion. They sanitized between each driver pair. Final was a hot lap with the instructors driving in an M5C with the nannies turned off.

We tied it into part of our vacation trip by leaving a day early and going to Greenville first. We had a good time even though we had been to schools there before. Nice to get in a similar vehicle and hammer it around.

No, I bought a 2020 in December of 2019. I'm
Assuming that's what you are asking. Anyway, I called the number on the offer (888-345-4bmw) and they told me to pound sand. I'm not close to either track so I just let it go.

Just picked up an X3M about 2 weeks ago. Didn't receive any email - but called the number, provided info and signed up to the event in December.

I may be traveling near that area anyway so it works perfectly - thanks OP!

My salesman was aware of the program and gave me the information sheet. It looks to be a nice basic program, but won't be my first time at the Performance Center. I'm close enough, it can be a day trip. I need to call and schedule it.
