Congrats on booking. Can't wait to hear about your experience.

Congrats! Be sure to share your experience with us (hopefully in your M6)
Thanks - I'm a novice so my own M will be safely in the parking lot! I'll risk someone else's property for now.

...and noisy as fuck. Great noises but noisy nevertheless. I could barely hear the instructor sitting next to me. Great supercar that actually made me appreciate the versatility of the M3. This was also my first intro to paddle shifting, and I DESPISE it.

I called this morning to reserve a spot. Then she told me it was $2500, and not $1500. No can do. $1500 is already kind of steep for one day.

But ... buuuuut!!! ... rumor is they will have a 1M, M3, M5 AND M6 (unlike M3 and M5 as advertised).
