Advanced driving course by BMW, is it worth it?

[Steven Peplar]

I want to go do the advanced driving course that BMW offers, would you guys say it worth it. Treating myself for my b-day.:fencelook:

good post:thumbs:

 

[Jacques24]

Yes, yes and yes :thumbs::thumbs::thumbs:

Definately worth it. You get to explore the limits of car handling under safe track conditions, while getting instruction from proper race car drivers.

Do it.

 

[Steven Peplar]

Okay now I am just getting exited... wooooo haha.

I will go look at the listings and times and all

Thank you

Myself and a mate recently got treated by his wife to the VW skidpan course (groupon special), and even though it was front wheel drive and blah blah blah, it was one of the best days I've had out! So book that course and have an awesome bday celebration, you only have things to gain from courses like that, as well as cheaper car insurance :rollsmile:

MMM, How much can I save on insurance... HAHA so I can then see it as an investment, right?

Thanks Man, Yup Just do it, you'll get to drive the F30s!


My Insurance said no Reductions .
But its pretty low anyways, so I aint Complainin :=):

Yes it is and if someone tells you no, then they are chops and probably dont own a BMW!:fencelook:

cause, if you dont use the techniques at least your insurance is lowered:thumbs::thumbs::thumbs:

 

[Steven Peplar]

Which one do I sign up for? The High Performance Driving one, right?

I feel these are not just for fun but it also adds to your driving skills. Very beneficial to your technique and response times.

 

[petrivanzyl]

Yes, yes, 1000x yes. I did it Kyalami, believe it is now at Zwartkops?

I did it in an E90 330i, would be interested if they use F30's now....

 

[SP33DYV]

Yes, yes and yes. I completed the course when they were still at Kyalami. I believe they have now moved to Zwartkops. When I went to Kyalami for the "Fantastic Racing" in the Reynhard 3 weeks ago, the old BMW Advanced Driving offices looked a little dilapidated and very empty.

 

[Redshert]

You receive a certificate at the end of the course that you can submit to your insurance company, if you're already paying a ridiculously low fee then they will more than likely say no, but it's certainly worth a try either way :rollsmile:

Bmw and Merc moved to Zwartkops, leaving just vw and audi at kyalami... Zwartkops seems to have a lot more going on, and the rates are better... Group skid pan day me thinks :=):

Bmw and Merc moved to Zwartkops, leaving just vw and audi at kyalami...

What a pity - should have been the other way around with the nicer track for real RWD cars :fencelook:

Couldn't agree with you more, but it is what it is... and at least zwartkops is cheaper (or so I'm told)... and all their facilities are well kept... when I was at kyalami, it seemed a bit "run down" :thumbdo:

 

[Steven Peplar]

Morning guys, I contacted BMW and they will send me all their open dates etc.

Thank you, going to try and see if I can do it before end July.

Do it , the fun on the day makes it worth it , the theory and practice will help later . One accident avoided and the course paid for itself .:thumbs:
