Who has done the BMW Car Control Clinic with the M3?

I believe at least one person on this forum has done this event in the F80 M3 - wonder if anyone else has and what their specific thoughts were (including overview of program)? Sounds pretty cool!!

LUPS!!! Great to hear from you again!! Actually I love the whole concept of this - learn to maximize a new M3 where I don't have to worry about break-in, warranty issues, insurance coverage, etc. etc.... You should sign up for it so we can finally race and see who's faster...

Two boy racers on a track. Never going to be good.

Yeah, I'll slide (hahha) by that area in August, coffee?

I did a portion of the car control clinic in Greenville, SC while taking the 2 day m school. Just skid pad racing, power slides -> attempted drifting.

Fun

You have to click on "all dates" then it will show the rest of the country and dates. They have then all they way thru the end of the year.

I am thinking about it. If they would have sent me the flyer about 3 weeks ago I would be a for sure...but with my car already ordered I have a few other things I could spend the $750 on.
