The M Track Days have a cost associated and are more like one of the classes you can take at the Performance Center while the Ultimate Driving Experience is free, or at least has been the last two years I've attended. When I looked at the page yesterday this was the case.

The UDE will have a bunch of cities and the M event will likely only have a few if the prior years hold true.

FWIW, the autocross event at the UDE I attended last year had five cars: i4 e40, i5 e40, M340i, Z4 M40i, and the X3 M40i. The only M cars at the event were for display only. I'm hoping that they'll have an M240i this year, as I'd love to try it out.

Also, if anyone cares, both years I've been to the UDE you could sign up for Performance Center classes at a 20% discount. I believe this discount is available through other avenues as well, the BMW Card being one of them.

Huh. I feel like they've had more than three models in the past. Wonder if they're just not listing them?

All trash lol. UDE with the least driving cars lol. Ironically show a M240 but not on the list of cars.

I’m only seeing 4 locations and it’s $1400. Not sure if it’s updated yet or that’s correct

Wonderful summary. Thanks. I should have added something like this to the main post, but I thought the webpage had more info the other day.

The Chicago event mentions the i4 M50, i5 M60, iX M70 and XM for the 0-60 challenge. Much better than the “headline” cars on the main page.

It definitely did – looks like maybe someone at BMW hit "post" too soon.
