The VIP event last night was INCREDIBLE! If you're lucky enough to get invited, do NOT pass it up!

We were able to take every car they had out on the street and here's what we had to choose from: G30 M5, M6 Gran Coupe, M2, M3 Comp, M4 Comp w/ M Performance parts, m760i V12, i8, Alpina B6, Alpina B7, X5M, X6M, m550i, and quite a few others. While it was rush hour, there's a pre-defined route you're SUPPOSED to take . But I managed to find a few empty roads to really test the cars.

We also did drag races in the G30 M5 which is WAY more fun than the i3 we did on Sat at the regular UDE event. Also did autocross with M3/M4 which was a lot of fun since you can go HARD. Ended the night with a culinary tasting with a celebrity chef (includes beer, wine).

You can check out our Facebook page to see the pics (link below), but it was definitely a good time.

You do get a lot of seat time. The instructors were great. I sort of felt they kept the better instructors for the M Car Control Clinic. If you check your pride at the door, you will go much faster by the end of the day. I was hanging it out there during the timed run and was surprised with the times I posted. Wish there was a day 2 because I feel there's still more I've left on the table.

All the M cars have the competition package. Was really surprised the ceramic brakes got up to optimal performance without that much coaxing especially with the cold temperature, wind, and rain today.
+1. Was in group 1 yesterday and am really glad we were able to do it in the rain. Seeing how these 400+HP cars handle the unpredictable was an amazing experience.

Awesome so we were in the same group. If you feel like it, hit me up on PM. Curious as to which person you were. Also, it was pretty cool 4 of the 5 finalists came from group 1. But unfortunately we lost out at the final shoot out.

Anyone know if Mtrack days are coming back??
I looked back to last year and I received the sign up email for M track days on April 19, 2017. I attended at CoTA last year. I thought I saw some unofficial dates for CoTA this year as July 18-August 2, 2018. And also Miami as June 12-16, 2018.

Just got back from the Autocross event. It's a sad day when the X2s handle better than the 530e M-Performance models. The X2s were definitely posting faster lap times than the 5 series.

I did this BMW M track school in the mid 2Ks exclusively with the E39 M5 and it was a blast. Drifting class and everything. Went through multiple sets of tires per car. Really awesome.

I'm not sure where I grabbed this screen shot when searching for M track days, maybe a CCA chapter website, or just searching around the web for an events calendar. (?)

Not to be the cheap bastard that brings this up, but is there a coupon voucher for this? In the past they gave a $1k rebate, which I happily applied to my last car purchase.

No mention of a $1k voucher this time which they did during the last UDE I attended. The only mention was a 20% discount on any of the classes at their performance centers if you pay now. You have a year to activate the paid for voucher and a year after that to schedule the class.

I also forgot they were pushing EVgo. Said something about if you buy an i3 you would get 2 years of free charging.
