(c) Venue eg beautiful Phillip Island rather than any common circuit

It allowed me to explore the limits in a controlled environment before subjecting my own vehicles to extreme treatment, and was personally more satisfying than other track days or driver training events.

Thanks Tim, as that is exactly what I am looking for out of the BMW training day and good analysis...

That's strange some don't have it. I think I have thrown the letter away as it just said contact the driver's training, but I have already done the advanced II so not really interested to do it again but philip island sounds kewl.

Perhaps a PI bmw driver training day for 1M owners? Would be an awesome GTG with a big 1M photo shoot on location.

Zepp · 11-11-2011, 10:08 PM

I've had my 1M for 3 months now and I've received no gratuitous driver training offer... pfft

How soon after purchase did you receive the good news???

Zuzu · 11-11-2011, 10:17 PM

I haven't received anything yet in writing. Only a verbal from BMW Australia whilst congratulating me on the new purchase via a phone call bla bla bla.

True - I think there's a lot to consider if do actually do it.

I have a set of 18" track wheels so I'll probably put them on.

sparoz · 11-13-2011, 03:01 AM

Any intentions to thrash the 1Ms on track?
