Driver Training

135BANDIT · 07-09-2010, 05:40 PM

Has anyone completed the BMW driver training courses - are they worth it , can you leap frog into the Intensive program without doing the Advanced program

Any general comments would be good - any circuit better than the other etc

They are fantastic! Do it and follow the sequence BMW advises.

Not the new program, but the old - drove the M3 and it was fantastic.

Bandit, I've done the Intensive and MDynamic - probably going to do MDynamic again!

They are brilliant!

Done Advanced II under the old system and then M Dynamic recently.
Both are fantastic fun especially the M Dynamic

I did both courses with Zender earlier this year. Was well worth it and alot of fun. I would say that you would be fine to go straight into the Intensive program as that what I did. Definatley have a think about doing the M Dynamic day after that, its an absulute cracker!!!

for 300 bucks you can do a track day at eastern creek and they have instructors that sit in with you. brutal on tyres though.

What cars are there to choose from? My brother was talking about going with me the other day. He drives a M3.....

Do they have manual 135i's or are they only Paddle Shifts??
