I'm signed up for the 2 day M School in Thermal at the end of October, looking forward to it.

How much is the upgrade cost to the 1 day M school? I got the voucher and not really interested in the basic handling school they offer. Might do the M school.

I've been looking into this as well. On the web site, the drivers school is $849 and the 1 day M school is $1550, so I guess it would be $701 to upgrade.

I am curious about one thing, though. If you are a member of BMW CCA and get the 15% discount, how does that get applied? I assume it would be applied to the difference putting this at $595.85.

If it's applied to the class cost and you get full value for the 1 day driver school, though, that would put this at $468.50 which would be great, but unlikely.

One day Performance school is 849 so you pay the difference if you want the one day M school. What I did is first reserve the one day M school and they applied my BMWCCA discount to the full amount. Then I requested the refund for the performance school certificate. So ended up paying around 470. They initially told me that it'll take a few days to verify the performance school letter after which they'd register me for the m school. There was only one spot left for the date I wanted so I registered and paid the full amount minus BMWCCA first. That may be the reason they applied the BMWCCA discount to the whole amount. Works for me.

Also was told that with 16 students, we still get own cars and they supposedly break you up in groups to do different exercises at a given time. That should hopefully make it less crowded. If anyone calls to reserve the one day m school, would be great if you can double check that again. I'm registered for Sep 5 at Spartanburg.

Damn...BMW got us like fools... pay $2500...don't even get 1 day M School...pay another $450 (So pay ~$3k for something that costs $1550) to get 1 day M School. I really wish my stupid car didn't come with the M Driver's Package. What a ripoff...

Can verify that the discount is applied first and then you can use your school as another credit. If you can swing it, I highly recommend going for the 2-day school
