The VIP event last night was INCREDIBLE! If you're lucky enough to get invited, do NOT pass it up!
We were able to take every car they had out on the street and here's what we had to choose from: G30 M5, M6 Gran Coupe, M2, M3 Comp, M4 Comp w/ M Performance parts, m760i V12, i8, Alpina B6, Alpina B7, X5M, X6M, m550i, and quite a few others. While it was rush hour, there's a pre-defined route you're SUPPOSED to take . But I managed to find a few empty roads to really test the cars. We also did drag races in the G30 M5 which is WAY more fun than the i3 we did on Sat at the regular UDE event. Also did autocross with M3/M4 which was a lot of fun since you can go HARD. Ended the night with a culinary tasting with a celebrity chef (includes beer, wine). You can check out our Facebook page to see the pics (link below), but it was definitely a good time.

Awesome so we were in the same group. If you feel like it, hit me up on PM. Curious as to which person you were. Also, it was pretty cool 4 of the 5 finalists came from group 1. But unfortunately we lost out at the final shoot out.

I looked back to last year and I received the sign up email for M track days on April 19, 2017. I attended at CoTA last year. I thought I saw some unofficial dates for CoTA this year as July 18-August 2, 2018. And also Miami as June 12-16, 2018.

Just got back from the Autocross event. It's a sad day when the X2s handle better than the 530e M-Performance models. The X2s were definitely posting faster lap times than the 5 series.

I did this BMW M track school in the mid 2Ks exclusively with the E39 M5 and it was a blast. Drifting class and everything. Went through multiple sets of tires per car. Really awesome.

Not to be the cheap bastard that brings this up, but is there a coupon voucher for this? In the past they gave a $1k rebate, which I happily applied to my last car purchase.

No mention of a $1k voucher this time which they did during the last UDE I attended. The only mention was a 20% discount on any of the classes at their performance centers if you pay now. You have a year to activate the paid for voucher and a year after that to schedule the class.

haha I literally live 8 minutes away from the Santa Anita Race Track! I go to the mall there all the time! I literally always miss this. Hopefully I get to go this year!

I also forgot they were pushing EVgo. Said something about if you buy an i3 you would get 2 years of free charging.
