M Driving School

I won a day's training at BMW Performance Center's M School. Who's been there and done that? What can I look forward to?

Great instruction and a fabulous time!! I've been fortunate enough to do it twice.

When I went we started off cornering in a M3, learn to drift in a M5, rat race in a M6 and finished the day doing full laps in a M5. Also they give you a USB stick that records everything you do. They will make a DVD of your day (stuff you recorded) and mail it to you. We had a blast! Have fun!

Sounds awesome, I can't wait. It's something I've always wanted to do.

Sounds cool to me... If you don't mind sharing, what did you do to qualify for this?

Won it in a golf tournament where BMW was a sponsor. Closest to the pin on one of the par 3s. BMW had one of its marketing guys there and was offering a 7 series for a hole-in-one on one of the other holes. No luck there.
