1M Available for Performance Center Driving School this Summer

dwildone · 03-04-2011, 07:54 AM

From the BMWUSA.com 1M page:

"BMW M has always been synonymous with unrivaled performance, power and exhilaration. And now, you have the unique chance to unleash the power of the all-new 1 Series M Coupe at our Performance Driving School in Spartanburg, South Carolina*.

*The 1 M Coupe arrives in the Performance Center in Summer 2011."

I was wondering if there would be a 1M there for my PCD I'm planing in June. I guess that answers my question...

That's great news. Guess this captured photo of the 1M at the performance center (from buckeyesi's X3 performance center delivery) was a preview of things to come:

dwildone · 03-04-2011, 01:24 PM

I saw that clip of video and was hoping that I could drive a 1M when I do the PCD. This makes me happy. Now I have to see if everything can be arranged to do a 1 day M Driving School at the same time.

thats awesome!

ase2dais · 03-04-2011, 03:38 PM

Im In!

much better to test it out first !

Guys! better ensure you BMW club dues are paid to get your discount.

GTFan712 · 03-04-2011, 03:56 PM

Do you have to be PCDing a 1MC to drive a 1MC? Or will I be able to test one out when I pick up an M3?

AW 1M · 03-04-2011, 04:35 PM

2 Day M School $3,295. 2 Day Porsche Performance School $2,995.

Decisions, Decisions...

It includes 2 nights hotel, meals, ground transportation, the cars, the instructors, the tires, the gas, the certificate, a shirt, a jacket, a hat, a helmet, and a whole bunch of silly ass kicking fun.

Buy a new car get it for free!

Was just sent an email today offering that to me since I purchased a car recently and they want me to re-finance and get more money with extra perks...

Well...consider that you're basically renting an awesome performance vehicle (or several) for two days to legally drive at high speeds, plus getting lessons while you're at it.

Considering you'll burn up a $1000 worth of tires, brakes and gas, It is only $2200.

dsm 335xi · 03-04-2011, 10:45 PM

I hope they also have the 1M available for the Advanced M School at VIR. I am still waiting for them to publish dates for that school.

scott135i · 03-04-2011, 10:56 PM

I am doing the 1-day M school around April 20th. I pray it's there and available.

AW 1M · 03-04-2011, 11:52 PM

I am a member of BMW CCA. I just can't decide which I would enjoy more, driving P cars or M cars. It's always more fun learning in someone else's car

But first I head to rally driving school later this month. Check this out:

cagekicker · 03-05-2011, 07:57 AM

awesome!!!

Diver · 03-05-2011, 09:44 AM

Don't think I will be able to make it, but whoever goes is a lucky dog!

JimD · 03-05-2011, 12:26 PM

If they use it in the M school it will be the only manual transmission. The M3s, M5s, and M6s are all automatics. I would rather have driven a 1M, especially versus the M5. It was fun but...

Make every possible effort to get through the 2 Day School.

It's easily more than twice as educational and valuable. The second day turns the first day's eight hours worth of training turn into habits and reflex instincts, instead of leaving them as a unique memory. Building upon these with drills, a chance to refine what you've learned and getting that helmet is something that should not be missed.

Park2670 · 03-06-2011, 08:17 AM

I would love to do the two day driving school. Been out for PCD twice now, just wish that I could have spent more time in an M car.

positiveions · 03-06-2011, 12:55 PM

AW 1M, that is awesome>rally school.
I did 3 days of Cart racing at Jim Hall racing school in Ventura. It wasn't expensive, and they teach you a lot of "race-related" techniques.
