We are excited to announce the dates of our 2014 members-only two-day M School weekends at the BMW Performance Center in Spartanburg, South Carolina: February 1–2; March 8–9; June 7–8; August 9–10; and December 6–7. Each program can accommodate fifteen guests, and all have the same curriculum.
This program encompasses the full two-day M School offered by BMW through its professional instructors at the Performance Center in Spartanburg. You will drive the Center’s own M cars—the Competition Package M3, the F10 M5, and the 560-horsepower F12 M6. And you'll enjoy maximum seat time, as there is no driver sharing in this M School!
On the first day, the instructors will emphasize developing elementary high-performance driving capabilities by demanding precision and skills refinement. The slalom, handling track, wet skid pad, open roads, and timed runs course will challenge even the best driver to master the horses of these M cars. Day Two raises the stakes and teaches advanced driving techniques like trail-braking and demanding cornering transitions. Participants will don their helmets to ensure safety in all of these exercises as we utilize the full purpose built facility of the Performance Center.
In addition to School, we are adding opportunities to meet your fellow CCA members at our Club Dinners. Upon arrival you will enjoy a delicious, complimentary Dinner at the Marriott’s own Giatu Restaurant, and a Reception and Dinner on the second night with fellow Club members.
- Two (2) nights at the luxurious Marriott Greenville, including breakfast and evening cocktail;
- Two (2) CCA member-only Dinners and Lunches at the Center;
- Driving instruction from the BMW professional drivers of the Center;
- All Ground Transportation to the BMW Performance Center, and the Greenville airport; and
- A BMW Hand painted M helmet, M Jacket, and M polo shirt for your enjoyment.
If you share your room with a non-driving participant, their weekend cost is only $500, and your rate drops to $2,855. The Marriott offers the amenities of a spa and pools for a non-driving participant.
Air Travel: Plan on arriving the day before. (West Coasters may prefer two days). You may depart after M School on Sunday, but only for flights after 5:45 p.m. Our shuttle will take you directly to the Greenville (GSP) Airport, or back to the Marriott for another night at your own cost, but at the BMW rate.
