Did you get an offer from BMW for a free one-day car control school?

That most likely means they sold you a lemon and are trying to cover up for it. Seen it before many times.

Was there a release form mailed with that "free" one day car control school event?

Has to be booked within a year after delivery. The day you take the class could be later.

Yeah, my link expired so I called and they said they'll have to send some emails to see if they can get it approved. They did ask me how many BMW's I've financed through BMW FS over the past 3 years. Fortunately (I think lol) I've had 3 cars thru BMW FS during that time. They also asked for my VIN on the M3 to verify. Let's see what they say

I will most likely be upgrading to the one day M school. It would be nice to meet up again at the performance center.

+1 would like to know as well

MFNATIK · 09-16-2016, 02:19 AM

I always thought you could bring guests but they had to stay in the tent and observe. The wife and kids are tagging along so I guess I'll find out lol

DoubleDare · 09-16-2016, 12:12 PM

I looked into it - there's a cafe and a visitors' lounge, but they aren't allowed to come on the track.

Thanks for inquiring about it

EdgeCrusher · 09-16-2016, 08:10 PM

I saw this thread and I decided to check my email... turns out I have gotten the email for 4 years straight! So I will be doing it out in California soon since I just got my 17 M3

I called the phone number listed on the M Track Days website and asked about the lodging. They confirmed that the lodging was not included. The three hotels listed on the website were for reference only to assist with lodging.

Did you actually get to pick the hotel and did you get a confirmation?

jmg · 09-17-2016, 12:35 AM

Is this only for M purchases? I purchased a 340i just a few months prior to my M3, so I'm wondering if I will get a 2nd invitation for a buddy!
