thanks all

Sounds like Bedford might be good.

I've driven croft before and quite enjoyed it ( it is very local to me ) ... not sure if a BMW trackday is the best place to go for my 1st trackday and learning the car ... no experience of the BMW car club or its members

Out of interest, my 1st ever trackday was in the wet @ Cadwell .. that was an interesting experience, can't say I really enjoyed it either . Most enjoyable trackday I had was at goodwood

I think Bedford would be good choice. BM car club I'd imagine you'd be fine as they like rules/regs and good behavior when I've been on with them.

I struggled ALL day at Bedford with noise and imo ruined the day for me, completely std car apart from Agency Power rear box.

I was at croft on a BMW Track day a few years ago (prior to me owing a CSL).

The CSL that was present with standard exhaust got black flagged. He was allowed out though in the afternoon for some 'limited' time after some protesting and the car being given the once over.

The induction roar did sound amazing though blasting past the Start / Finish.
