They no longer use helmets at M-School. So there is no discount for not getting one as you no longer get one.

Take a lunch break, then it’s time to head back out and explore the wet skid pad, autocross and, finally, timed laps. End the day with a grin that will last for weeks."

The ONE DAY M DRIVER’S PROGRAM – $1,550. description: "BMW M vehicles provide a dose of adrenaline each time you drive them, and the M Driver’s Program* will give you some insight into just how much performance potential these vehicles have.

This unique one-day class will pair you with one other driver as you start in a classroom learning the basics, from proper seating position and vision to the ideal driving line around the track. Then head out to the vehicle’s natural habitat: the racetrack. Experience wet skid-pad drifting, accelerating and high-speed lane changing while maintaining total vehicle control. You’ll also take part in lead-follow lapping – follow behind an instructor as you’re shown the ideal line and gradually increase speed."

Probably leaning towards the M Drivers Program, but what is the difference as the 1 and 2 day M school is a pre-req for advanced M school events (I have already participated in 2 Day M and advanced M).

My ED F83 went to status 111 with a confirmed ED date of 9/25/17 on April 17th, 2017. The e-mail voucher arrived on September 15th, 2017, as F83 finished production July 12th, 2017. BMW NA "Welcome" e-mal arrived May 24th, 2017. F85 went status 111 on October 12th, 2017 and BMW NA "Welcome" e-mailed arrived latter same day. Figure that the BMW NA Welcome e-mail triggers the one day drivers school, so F85 voucher should arrive 4 months post-welcome e-mail around mid February. Wonder if BMW NA would give me a credit back on my credit card if I purchased two driver events now with the 'stacked' F83 voucher and presented the F85 voucher prior to the event (? early April). Otherwise, I'll use the F85 voucher credit for a east coast advanced school.

M-driver Program is basic skid school and emergency lane change training. With your background you will be beyond this. The 1 day M-school expects that people will have completed the M-driver Program or like training before attending. You should not be taking that class if you have already done the 2 day M-school, you will be bored to death.
