Anyone attending M6 Gran Coupe BMW Track Days Event?

richard in NC · 05-06-2013, 05:59 PM

Has anyone else signed up for this? https://www.bmw-m-track-days.com/ind...rica/programme
It may be invitation only as I did the Limerock M5 Experience last fall.
Looking forward to seeing what she'll do at CotA.

Just registered, should be fun.

It will be an interesting comparison: M5 vs. M6GC

Great! Looking forward to it as we'll. still have to work out travel and extended stay opts.

I may go. What is the price? Do you have to share the car with someone else?

richard in NC · 05-10-2013, 10:26 PM

The cost is $1300 including a 5* hotel, reception, and meals. It does sound more like a driving experience then an M school and includes some non-track time in the cars. I don't know if shared driving. I signed up for Wednesday night and a Thursday track day but plan to stay an extra day or two to site see. But at $350 a night per the hotel web site, I'll probably hit some other place for the extra days.

This M6 vehicle is pretty heavy.

That's not bad. I will try to go too. Is there a Thursday-Friday option?

I was at the W hotel last night and was wondering why there were m performance cars lined up in the garage. Is it too late to sign up? Wouldn't need a room since I live in Austin.

Unfortunately they force you to get the whole package at $1300. I didn't need a room either since I have a ton of SPG points.

Passed by the m6 gran coupe and m5 today on the highway, it looked like they were driving to the dealership from the track. The m6 gran coupe looks great in orange, makes me want to trade in my 650 for the m6.
