Perfomance driving School

[OAM]

Does anyone know if a 1m purchase also comes with the M performance Driving School that the other M's come with?

[Red135]

Mine did not, so I am going to say no.

Yes. It is arranged by the dealer from whom you purchased your car.

No cost, but you do have to get yourself down to Spartanburg.

I was all set for Peformance Driving Center delivery and the school for August, but instead opted to take earlier delivery of my car at the dealer on July 22.

What all does PDS entail is it the two day M driving school or something else?
I am doing spartanburg pickup.

Is that the question he asked? It doesn't "come with" M Driving School. But, yes, it can be ordered with Performance Center Delivery.

I thought PCD was a 'no cost' option on ANY BMW? I'm doing mine in August/September.

[UnclePerkins]

It is. But, Performance Center Delivery is not the same thing, and does not include, the M Driving School program. I am scheduled for PCD in August. Can't wait.

[b33g33]

Ahh ... thanks. I misread the OP.

Yeah, I'm doing PCD this year and might do driving school later.

I wasn't aware that it was included with other M cars.

The way I heard it was, any BMW can be picked up at PCD. They teach you how to drive your model car in one of their cars, so you don't have to beat on your own. If you buy a x3 or x5 you can take one on their off road course. You do not get the same training as the Driving school though.

As mentioned above the Performance Center Delivery is not the same as the M driving school, and the car you get to drive at the PCD depends on what car you are buying. Also not all M's come with the M driving school, every now and then BMW has promotions where they include the full M school as part of purchase. There was a period when it was CPO M5's and M6's, another time when it was only M3's, etc.

Thanks! that's exactly what I wanted to know. I had a friend who bought a M6 a while back and he got the M Driving School for free. I originally thought it came with all M's.

M5 came with a "M5 Driving Experience" at the performance center and it was sweet, but it was not the same as the two day "M School".

To sum up:
PCD < M School < Advanced M School.

Or just go read this.
