Looks like a great time
@Rick, who is the goob in front of you during familiarization? Does he know what an apex is or is the orientation lap too slow for him? He is all over the place. At a club driving school he would have been kindly reminded to follow the line or take the line home.

I have a couple of questions for Rudi & Rick... Since you guys now have some seat time in a M3.... how did you like the M3's compared to your 1M's? Which engine do you prefer? Would you still buy a 1M IF you had to do it all over again>? (and IF they were still being made) I noticed some video cameras up next to the mirror... was that something BMW do or was that one of Rick's camera's ? You guys must be hooked on track events now.

All of us were amateurs...some more than others. Plus we rotated around so the person in front was always different. The silver E93 sedan was the instructor. Rudi and I shared a car which was cool, sharing with a fellow 1Addict..

He didn't want to admit it but I think he wants to sell his 1M for a M3....

Speaking of this... I jeard Thorsten from Car-Coding.de has put some M3 EDC shocks on his 1M. He is having some problems coding them to work fully. But right now he has two modes... comfort and sport! I think we will be seeing some interesting M3 mods coming to a 1M soon.

Rikx1M--those videos are incredible! That driving course looks amazing.
Would you happen to know a point-of-contact, or even just a website online to get information on these events (BMW or otherwise)? I've been searching online for BMW performance driving courses, and I'm constantly re-routed to BMW NA events and the Spartanburg, SC driving courses. Again--great videos; thanks for the inside look. |

Rikx, I was deployed with Sapper M3, I told him you were the guy to go to for some advice, thought you or Dack could throw some advice his way for good/worthwhile schools to hit up.

Many guys said this class was too expensive but with a VAT form, it's actually much cheaper that stateside versions of this training. In fact I paid a little over $1100 without VAT and the stateside version of a one day ///M training day is $1450... The two-day course at Nürburgring is about 2300 euros with VAT or about $2400 USD without VAT. In the USA a two-day class is $3,595... Not only is it cheaper for us to train here, the track is world-class and to me it's a much better course and location and level of training to have two dedicated days on the Nürburgring... To all interested and to compare, here is the BMW Driving training URL for the stateside classes: http://www.bmwusa.com/Standard/Conte...s/MSchool.aspx
