Announced: 2024 Ultimate Driving Experience and M Tracks Days - Locations & Schedule
Featured on BIMMERPOST.com BMW announced the first dates for this year's Ultimate Driving Experience and M Tracks Days. At the moment, they announced only a portion of the dates for UDE as they did last year. Dates like Los Angeles probably will be announced later in the year. M Track Days moved back to the middle of the year instead of the second half of the year. Also, Indianapolis is now replaced with Road America and will be the first MTD of the year in May. You can check the dates here - https://driving.bmwusa.com/cities |

Had M track day (half day) last year at COTA, what a blast. Planning to do a full day this year either at Road America (narrower technical circuit) or COTA (high speed blast) again. Did anyone had full day experience before, and do you think it’s worth the extra $$?

As expected, only Chitcago. Last year their was one near St. Louis, however, the event was limited to autocross and may have even canceled. I suppose I would attend near Chicago if it was on the outskirts, away from the traffic and commotion. Looks like these will not be road course.
COTA would be nice to do, although I bet it fills up fast. |

Seems the LA market is being skipped.
Nbd though, not like many of us are interested in autocrossing the i5.

Did autocross last year with 2 vehicles. The i4 M50 was so much better than the 330e. My son felt the same. The course was small and tight and the 330e didn’t have enough initial oomph. Not sure I will do it this year, though.

Does anyone know how are these different then experience at Spartanburg or Thermal? Been wanting to do this for a while but haven’t pulled the trigger.

PDS is an entirely different thing. On MTD, they don't "teach" you but just allow you to spend some time in M cars on track. On COTA, the instructor is always in separate cars in front, and you just follow him. Other MTDs are probably the same. |

Florida market is being skipped for M Track Days too. It’s been a few years since they stopped coming to Homestead Motor Speedway. Not sure why, Cali and Florida are among the biggest M markets in the nation.

They're probably skipping due to costs of hosting these events or not viewing it as a worthwhile investment as people in these markets will buy these cars regardless.

Perhaps you are correct. When I attended my last M Track Days circa 2016, the almost the entire parking lot in attendance was M cars. We had a couple of Porsche and Tesla cars, but easily 95% of the attendees were rolling in M’s including myself.

BMW M is the de facto choice. No need to hold events to convince people loll.
