Canadian BMW Driver Training for 2008 now posted

halB · 02-18-2008, 06:55 PM

Go to bmw.ca, click BMW Driver Training.

Advanced I is half of Advanced II. You only do the straight line stuff such as and braking and emergency lane change, and is only half-a-day long. Advanced II has everything in Advanced I plus over/under steering on a skidpad, plus a slalom race at the end. It's a full day course. You don't need Advanced I before taking Advanced II, but you need Advanced II before they will let you do Perfection.

Just received a e-mail from BMW saying that the perfection course will now be using the 08 m3 at the end of the day for the last part of the course, can't wait

Are you joking fastrack?????

Man, I hope you're not - that would be wicked! I already signed for perfection (albeit in Ontario), but I haven't got any email!

Anyone here done this?

What do you guys think?

FWIW...

I've done both... & AAE is a BLAST!!!
JMO, but you'll get far more out of the AAE if you've already done Perfection.
The Atom is a pure track beast & it's best if you have some skills b4 you try it.
It's more about the car than driver training.
