So i got my welcome pack today which included my 'Invitation to a Bmw driving experience' valued at $1395. However the 3 tracks listed are all over East, how is this any good for us over in WA? I can't see Bmw covering our flights and accommodation..what a bummer.

I called the BMW driving experience booking line, although not listed they have a course here at Barbagallo Raceway later in the year so am booked in for that.

Back in the day we did a Phillip Island M track day with about 10 1M owners off this forum. Owners came fro Darwin, Bris, Syd and Canberra as well as Melb of course. Was a great day, recommend someone to set up / organise maybe?
I don't own an M car at the moment, besides have done a couple of these events already. |

Took delivery of my M2 on Monday - wowee this car has exceeded my expectations just about in every way.
I was wondering if anyone can advise on the best paint protection products? Heard a lot of good things about Opticoat, also been looking at the new car detailing service by Final Inspection and they use a product called Full Metal Jacket. I've heard those guys are the best in Melbs. To be honest i have no idea about what i should be doing to the car protection wise, so if anyone can shed any wisdom here that would be much appreciated Thanks lads |

Try out Dan's Garage in Surrey Hills or Mr Detail in Moorabin. Mr Detail did my S3 late last year and the results were outstanding. Gyeon Ceramic Protection. This time round (its there at the moment) im using Dan's Garage for Opti-Coat. Heard nothing but great reports on Dan's Garage...Looking forward to getting it back Friday |

I've used Final Inspection before. They detailed my 135i when I first got it. It was brand new however being black I could see a lot of swirl marks on the paint. Final Inspection did a great job getting the swirls out. I didn't get any professional paint protect. I used Zaino products to protect the paint . Did it myself and the paint still looks great after 8 years.

Big day today- spotted a LBB on a test drive this morning, followed by an AW parked around the corner from home. Not feeling particularly special anymore!

The Kangaroos are big and hard. The crocks are also tough and love to eat cars besides people. But worst of all, you should see our Elephant Beetles!!!! |

A lovely place Australia (I once hitch-hiked from Brisbane to Cairns and loved it). But you certainly have some nasty man-eating beasties there. And as for the Australian accent, it's absolutely hilarious ! In the best possible way, that is.
