I guess it's an evolution of value. When M track days first came out, they were free. Many folks complained about the $250. Speaking of value, you could do an entire day at a BMWCCA HPDE (obviously different in your car) at some great tracks for $250. That's 80 minutes of track time vs two 8 minutes sessions and you aren't stuck in a lead follow... |

I guess the broader point is that these events aren't a substitute or comparable event to/for an HPDE. Great chance to see the m cars in a more intensive test drive but nothing like a track day. I say all that to reiterate that I agree. An M Track Day is really cool and good value but not a real track day. |

That's for a single day at COTA. Other tracks in Houston or Dallas are usually less expensive, but also a lot further away so then you have to consider fuel and lodging as well.

COTA charges $167,000 for the three-day weekend.

Was it a black swell thermos with a silver outlined BMW logo we got at the UDE? I was hoping for something different. I got several of those already.

Seems he said he did get a pin this year. Looks like I am calling the info number for Mtrack days tomorrow and asking what is up with a pin, I mean I did pay $750 lol. Heard they used to give more swag when it was free.
