Got my email last week as well. PI is the bomb imo, had a couple M days there over the years. We did a 1M gtg there with the BMW M package vouchers, had the whole day booked so was really cool.

I’m up for PI, go the hay shed.

I can't do the October PI date unfortunately as it clashes with a wedding I'm attending - looks like November eastern creek for me. I'm going for the advance 2.

I got my voucher via email.

Car purchased 3/30 but I did send a Text to my dealer last Friday to check that they completed any necessary paperwork with the performance center.

I will admit I almost deleted the email thinking it was a credit card offer (I already have the free version) and I already knew this. Almost a fail.

Glad you got yours! I am still waiting on the official email from BMW. Fortunately, I have the information I need through the PC, but I have been down the same road as you trying to obtain the information.

I got my car on Feb 12 and only get the voucher by snail mail yesterday, 3 months later. I'm not sure if I'll ever receive in the form of email.

Has anyone done the M4 GT4 experience @ Thermal CA?

They didn't have this one available when i signed up for the 1 Day M School a year and half ago. Thinking of signing up and just pay the difference for either this Sep or Oct class.

I haven't but I believe someone her has. He said it was awesome and is going back for the more advanced M4 GT4 school.

I'll be driving one in July around Indy. The cockpit is going to feel pretty familiar to me as the M2 CS was modeled after it.

I would sign up sooner rather than later.

I'll be there next weekend and post a full review. Not sure I'm ready for that car, but I'll give it a go.

Our cars likely have more power but the grip and the brakes!!! Next level stuff. Give it hell!

E46M3forRay · 05-14-2021, 08:11 PM

I hope they let you lose and go wot. The lead/follow they have setup on some of their M classes sorta holds you back. It’s like a tease and you’re wanting to sign up for more.

Just finished the course with a good friend... My thoughts...
could not have been any better!!! Great location, staff and class. They held nothing back... was all I could imagine!!

In the GT4 experience, they timed the autocross in the M2s. It was a cool exercise. I got the bronze. There were a couple experienced racers in the class.

Just got back from the M4 GT4 experience at Indy. It was a blast. Of course it didn't hurt that Bill Auberlen was there hanging with us the entire weekend

Sign up for your school now!

Paula from the Pike’s Peak run was on our instructor team and we got to ride with her a couple times…. truly amazing skills!

Does anyone know if you need to bring your own helmet or if they provide/rent helmets?

Not needed for the 1 or 2 day M school…. Not sure about the other ones?

Helmets aren't needed for most schools. Only the M4 GT4 school I believe.

They provide all your needed track gear for that.

They believe it's safer in the newer street cars without a helmet. I concur.
