Excelsior10000 | BMW M School - Day 2 Event 6 - M5 Long Course @Excelsior10000 | Uploaded January 2015 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
In this session, I drive the M5 continuously around the track. The M5 is a heavy but powerful vehicle. It is not as agile as the M3, but it makes up for it in shear power.

BMW M School program from the BMW Perfromance Driving School, at the BMW Performance Center in Spartanburg, NC. An outstanding program featuring personable and helpful career professional track drivers. The two-day session walks you through the basics of skid training, acceleration, braking, and following proper lines in and around turns. Each session builds upon the last, slowly increasing the complexity and legth of the course. Each session typically starts with classroom time (not in these videos) followed by an instructor leading you out to that session's course. The instructor slowly leads the cars through the course describing how to handle each section, and often they follow with students riding in their cars for a demo at speed, followed by everyone running th e course with continuous coaching over the radios.
(The background "static" you hear is some unfortunate electronic interference picked up by the GoPro. This is the first-ever time this happened, and it's unclear what the source was. It was picked up in all the cars M3, M4, M5, in Spartanburg, but has never been picked up during its permanent home in a personal M5 in the same mounting location. It could be somethign in the vicinity of the track. The only thing that was different was the camera was in the clear plastic housing rather than the black frame.)
