BMW's 'M' division first started in 1978 when the first official M-badged car, the M1, went on sale to the public. It didn't start well but it got the name 'M' out there. Popularity exploded in 1979 with the release of the M5, which was a high performance version of BMW's popular 5 Series mid-size saloon car. Since then, all high performance saloons have been judged against BMW's 'M' cars and the BMW M3 is one of the best of the breed. The M3 has a 3.2 litre engine putting out 343 bhp. It will go from 0-60mph in 4.8 seconds and on to a top speed, which is limited to 155mph, although it is claimed that it will do 184mph unlimited! This is your chance to drive a future classic.

Your day will begin with a welcome, introduction and safety briefing on circuit driving techniques before being taken out in a performance training car for two familiarisation laps with your instructor. Then it's your turn to drive the BMW M3 for four or five sensational laps. At the end you will be rewarded with an individual Driving Certificate.
