Please read carefully as some information has changed since last year.

The National Capital and Tarheel Chapters are headed back to the BMW Performance Center in Greer, South Carolina on October 31st and November 1st for our second two-day ///M Club Day driving event of 2026. This marks the 23th year that we have been sponsoring this event with the BMW Performance Center!

Why drive with us? Our group is comprised 100% of true BMW enthusiasts. You can drive other events with strangers, but you know the drivers in our group are part of the BMW CCA family and we know that you are, too. Our events are specifically designed for BMW CCA club members and are something special to attend!

The focus of this event is on improving your driving skills and having fun through a combination of driving exercises, classroom instruction and competitive events. No helmets or previous driving school experience are required. All skill levels are welcome and everyone 18 and older is encouraged to attend. As always, the Performance Center provides current model ///M cars, world-class instructors, gas, tires, lunch and a first-class facility for a fun-filled day at the track. Just show up ready to drive!

Due to high demand for our ///M Club Day events, we have again scheduled two days back-to-back for our Fall weekend. Both Saturday and Sunday schools are the same program. Two driver's share a car throughout the day. Applicants are welcome to sign up for either day or both days. We can also offer driver's a car to themselves for the entire day. No car sharing, you will drive all day by yourself.

This school is a special program designed by the Performance Center staff specifically for the National Capital and Tarheel chapters. It will be similar to previous ///M Club Day events, which included instruction on proper driving position, vehicle dynamics, car-control skills, weight-transfer, oversteer/understeer and improved vision. The day is divided into morning and afternoon sessions which mix skill exercises and competitive events, including skid pad wet/dry courses, braking and handling practice, autocross, lapping and more.

We will be driving current model BMW ///M Cars for this event. Please note that the Performance Center staff continually makes changes to this program and the cars we drive, so session contents and the ///M cars available may vary from one school to the next.

Our suggested event hotel is the Greenville Marriott. The special BMW rate includes the breakfast buffet for up to two people plus Internet service. Register at:www.marriott.com/GSPAP and enter BMW as the Corporate code. The Marriott has a great lobby bar for getting together after the driving and dinner events. Remember, no food service is available for breakfast either Saturday or Sunday morning at the Performance Center.
