Hey everyone!
If any of you are interested, I set up a track day for the BMW owners of Orange County at the BMW Performance Track in Palm Springs, CA. The cars, gas, tires, brakes, etc. are provided by BMW. YOU ARE NOT TRACKING YOUR OWN CAR, CARS WILL BE PROVIDED.

It is a half-day event (8am-12pm) with lunch provided. Date is Sunday, December 18th, 2022. Cost is $355/person. PM me for payment options. Feel free to bring guests, spectators are free, but if your guest is planning on driving, it is an additional $355/person.

Track Info:
- 3 hrs of performance driving (I believe Z4 M40i, M2 Competition, X5M, etc.), autocross (2022 M240i Coupe), drag race (I believe X3M, M550i, M850i), and big track with the G80 M3 Competition
- Event is in their cars, not your own! No need to worry about your car, brakes, tires, or gas.
- If it's your first time on track or want to learn car control, this is the best way to start. Also a great networking opportunity with like-minded BMW enthusiasts in Southern California!

$355 is a great deal for this event. I worked out a special price with BMW for our group, smaller groups are usually $500/person, individuals are $1k (although for a full day), and I believe Groupon sometimes has deals for $300/person, but that doesn’t include laps on the actual track (which is the best part).

I would love to do this but I live in Los Angeles not orange county so not sure if you are doing this for OC owners only. I have a lot of track experience but currently my track car is down and I told myself I'd keep my M4 off any courses until its paid off.
Let me know and I'd be happy to sign up.

Sorry, misleading description. My group is "Orange County BMW Owners Club", but the track event is open to anyone wanting to come out. PM me for payment details if you'd like to reserve your spot!

Smart move on not tracking your car until its paid off!

I'm up in NorCal but would love to join something like this next time! I just did the 2day M school there recently and I loved it. This pricing is totally worth it, especially when driving their cars!

Would love to have you there next time! We had a few people join us from NorCal this time around, had a blast!

Did you attend in January with GGC CCA? If so, I attended the one full day on Saturday.

I’d love to join next time as well. I’m originally from Inland Empire but recently moved to Northern California. I travel frequently between the two so heading to Thermal for an M day is no big deal.

Perfect! I'm working out the details for our next Thermal day so I will keep both of you in the loop. If you guys plan on flying in to Palm Springs too, I have no problem driving you guys to and from the track as well.

Please post when you finalize. I couldn't attend the last one but would love to do this too.
