Going to the M experience next Sunday

Can anybody give me some advice? What to wear, look for, buy? I'd appreciate any helpful advice. Going on Sunday November 8th. Thanks, in advance, for your help!

Listen and learn so you have an advantage when you are going for the drift



I would say comfortable shoes, sneakers or drivign shoes. No suit

Across the street from the Performance Center is the BMW factory. Check out the Zentrum and if possible take a factory tour.
http://www.bmwusfactory.com/#/zentrum/

The free meals at the Marriott is acceptable, but there are some fine restaurants in Greenville. I enjoyed dinner at Soby's
Soby's New South Cuisine - Downtown Greenville, South Carolina

A helmet or special clothing are not required. Wear your most comfortable shoes (for driving)

Just so you can plan your time, I was at Zentrum...

about two weeks ago. Had not been in a while. Very disappointng. Dirty, displays really just cars (and now LOTS of bikes) just sat out on the floor. Facility is showing wear too, needs paint. And not ONE employee even greeted me or said hello. So spend your time elsewhere, like the indoor pool at the Marriot....

I remembered this post from maybe a month ago:
M Driving Experience - HD Videos

just don't do what I did and let your younger brother beat you in the rat race final.

Got back from BMW on Monday night at midnight. What an unbelievable experience. We had 30 people and I don't know anybody that didn't think it was one of the best times they've ever had in a car!!! We were spoiled rotten by the BMW team and the Marriott people also. High quality, fun and a "Not to miss" event. If you buy an M, you've got to go to this!!!
