Any discounts on BMW Performance Driving School for M Owners?

[spectrumphoto]

Does anyone know of, or have heard of any Performance Driving School discounts offered to M Owners?

I may be getting the 2 day Performance Driving School in Thermal for myself this holiday season and well every penny saved would be a penny to put into the f80 enhancements.

Much Appreciated.

Here in Australia you get the "intensive" course form BMW as part of your purchase price (M Cars Only) http://www.bmw.com.au/com/en/insight...ience/courses/

Corporate (Advantage) customers get a reduced rate for the other courses.

I don't think you have to wait a year once you join BMWCCA to get the M school discount. I believe you can save immediately. You do have to wait a year from joining in order to get a rebate when buying a new car.

Definitely have to wait for rebate.

"A membership of one year or more immediately preceding the delivery date of the vehicle is required to take advantage of this program"

Good news is that a BMWCCA discount for M schools would be available immediately. You just need your member number. Sometimes they don't even bother to ask :-)

Probably the most money you'll save with the club. The M school discount used to be stronger too. I think it's only 10% now?

When I bought my M6, they'd give you an M school. I think it's the same for the 5 series. I guess the 3 & 4 are not included even though I paid almost as much for the 4 as the 6 a few years ago.

My mistake. Thought you had to be a member for a full year before you got the discount. Thanks.

15% is definitely a solid savings on a $4k course, thank you for that. I was hoping they were going to offer a holiday incentive (especially at Thermal to gain exposure) but soo far I've only seen a $100 refer a friend shopBMWusa credit.

I recall the month following my e90M delivery in 2008, BMW started throwing in one day M school at the EC PDC as a Vehicle Purchase Incentive. I believe they only did that for about 6 months right at the height of the recession when M's and most BMWs were just collecting dust at the dealership. I was soo bummed that I had missed that promotion by 2 weeks.

I got invited twice, one for each location. It's fun but I'm not sure it's worth paying the price they advertise. I think there are better options to spend your money to have fun and learn how to drive in "someone else's" cars.

I plan on taking a few courses at Bondurant. They're local to me so the savings really add up, and while they're not using BMW M's, they are using a variety of high performance vehicles.

BMW CCA Discount available immediately (15%)...

Do a 1 or 2 day M school and then you are eligible to do a 2-Day Advanced school at Virginia International Raceway or Road Atlanta (also with discount).

Do a 2-Day Advanced School and maybe you'll get an invite to the yearly Nurburgring trip... ;-)

Bondurant courses are outstanding, and a far better value than the BMW M courses. And it's an excuse to fly to Phoenix.

I got the ///M performance offered as a gift from BMW Canada when when I purchased my E46 M3 back in 2001 , but have not seen anything since .
