the car control clinic will not ruin any tire in one day
I've run autocross (which is more abusive to tires than a car control clinic) and still been able to get 12000 miles and 10 autocrosses from tires with similar treadwear to BMW stockers.
the car most certainly isn't going to be harmed, you won't be dropping the clutch or abusing things (other than tires... just a little bit)
it's really important to understand what your car can do in an emergency, and modern BMW's are capable of far much more than most would think
anyone in the bay who hasn't been to one owes it to themselves and the car to go to at least one.
Plus if you ever want to go to the track with BMWCCA the car control clinic or other autocross or track experience is a pre requisite
