1M in Nordschleife training

M3EST · 10-31-2011, 04:20 AM

Last week i participated in the BMW Driving Experience in Nurburgring.The course was the Faszination Nordschleife.The participants were driving M3 Competition with DCT gearbox.Some of the instructors were driving the 1M in VO.So that was the perfect time and place to drive the 1M.

Claudia Huertgen the chief instructor and BMW Motorsport race driver lend me her 1M for a short testdrive.It was a nice experience since i was driving M3 and the car feels so much lighter and playfull.Claudia also commented that it is her favorite M.Enjoy the pics.

Two years ago I saw them doing this and they were using 135is, was it a good course (and how much did it cost as I'd love to do it)?

Would it be possible to use the 1M as your car? I would love to join this

Were you there the day of the VLN race? I might have seen you driving by in one of the M3s.

-1, at least on AW it does not look out of place.

With all that M goodness this place must be closer to heaven. Bummer that the 1M's are not available for participants, it does reduce my interest for this experience.
