Reviews of BMW Performance Center West (Driving School)

David Keeney

More fun than any human should have in 4 hours. Incredible experience. Loved it and will defiantly go back!

Amazing half-day experience at the BMW Performance Center. Instructor Spencer did an amazing job walking us through the activities. Really took the time to breakdown each technique and encourage us to surpass our own limitations. Friendly staff in the facility. Other attendees were very nice and respectful.

Great place to sharpen your driving skills, instructors are really helpful. Point out your mistakes and recommend ways to improve. I had the ultimate fun at this place. M2 M3 M4s and so many more are driven to the limits. Loved it!

Great staff and amazing cars. The teaching is top notch and they allow you to push the limits of you and your car. They have M2,3,4 & M5 available to drive on multiple track setups. The rat race and polished skid pad really allow you to find and control the limits of the car. The road course is where it all comes together. With great coaching I was able to take the top podium spot on both events out if 18 drivers. A little bit of luck and practice helped. It is much easier to push the cars hard when they aren’t yours and someone else has to fix them! Cool schwag in the gift shop and a few items you can only get if you take a class. Pretty cool stuff. You should go!

Great experience

Such a cool experience! Our instructor Dave was fantastic. He did a great job of explaining driving techniques and safety. They really let you rip up the track!

I purchased the BMW track experience for my husband for his bday. We both did the two hour BMW class and it was awesome! The whole experience was great and our instructor, Kase Montgomery, was AMAZING! He was personable, funny, very clear in his instruction, and professional. Then we jumped in the car for a lap with Kase at the end and that was my favorite part! So glad we did this and we will definitely be back!!

I drove out here to see the Performance Center but you couldn't see anything. There is a wall all the way around and the place was closed on a Saturday. I didn't expect it to be open and I had no appointment either, but I was hoping for some BMW logos and showing off that BMW has its performance center here. I wanted to take a picture of the place, but nothing really to take a picture off. No logos, no signs (except The Thermal Club). So I left empty handed. To bad and I drove all the way from LA.

Way more fun than I expected! Everyone here is exceptionally experienced and professional. I took the one day performance driving course here and I enjoyed it very much. Would definitely recommend their courses to anyone who is interested in performance driving.

This was a really fun learning experience. The class was small and the instructor was exceptionally helpful. It was a very safe environment, and it helped build our confidence throughout the day. Far more useful and applicable information than your typical DMV-based driving education. The weather was really nice.

What is there not to love? BMW has outdone themselves again. Right when you thought the track in SC couldn’t be topped.

Alex Gruber

Awesome experience. Cars and staff are great. If you love driving you definitely need to do this

Had a blast on the track. It rained the one day of the year when I was there, didn't matter.

Came out for an M track day and absolutely loved it! BMW was able to provide a well-rounded experience with autocross, drag, and circuit events. The instructors were very knowledgeable and patient. The exterior of the center is very nondescript and I actually almost passed by it. Once inside, you'll see that it is all BMW. I just wish that this wasn't 130 miles away from Los Angeles.

Eric Miller

Thrilling experience taking out some M series track cars on beginners tracks. That first lap ever... the adrenaline rush can’t even be described. Insanely fun.

Brilliant fun! Got to drive an M2 Competition, M4, X5M and an M6. Final runs were in an M3 on a timed autocourse circuit. No limits on speed - just see how late you can brake! Instructor Brian was very good and encouraged everyone to go faster. Definitely recommend it - check out Groupon for great deals.
