Did you have to wear a helmet on the big track? Which one was it? South Palms?

I was actually pretty surprised by the smaller track and it was still fun to tear it up in the M2/M3/M4 - would have really liked to do the big track though and experienced higher speeds

No helmets on the big track. I too was surprised how fun the small track was. The M3 and M4 were surprisingly agile even when compared to the M2. I think the the power made up for any rotational deficiencies the longer M3 and M4 has over the M2.

The back straights we hit about 140 to a hard braking left. It was adrenaline pumping for sure.

Do you mind sharing their email contact and a sanitized version of what you asked - PM me. Thx

My card said you have to book the class within a year of purchasing the car.

I took delivery 11/08 and just received the gift today. The same silver USB with a thank you card stating the $849 credit to a class and 2 night hotel stay since I financed the BMWFS

I get the feeling the timing on this is pretty random. I took delivery at the end of October 2016 and didn't get my "gift" until early last summer. (Also, the USB in mine was black).

Me too... I even went back and checked and it's just info on how to sign up. I also financed with BMW FS!

Do you think it's worth complaining? I'd be tempted to pay to upgrade to the 2 day course, but I don't want to pay the full price. Certainly I'd pay the small cost to upgrade to the 1 day...

For what it's worth I got two usb sticks with no school offer. Mine came through email.

Honestly I'd just ask. I did and they didn't really say yes, but I got an email for a free school two weeks later. This was 4-5 post purchase.

Financed through PenFed even.

Interesting that I have owned my car for 6 months now and still haven't received my Welcome kit...
