New Owner in SE Michigan

Hey All, I see there are a few people here in MI, I figured I would say Hi. Just picked my car up from Nebraska and drove it home. Previously had a Focus RS, now M3. Slight difference

Anyone spend time at WHRR?

I hope to contribute something useful here eventually.

Awesome! I am in Plymouth Canton area. Are you part of the BMWCCA? If so, have you attended anything with that group?

Congrats on your IOMG M3! I'm awaiting PCD of my M4 Comp xDrive; it's awaiting retrofit of the infamous RAM ... TVC here.

Let’s give OP a little slack. Judging by his number of posts, he’s new and may still be learning forum functions.

I did the 1 day M school in SC this summer which was a really great experience. I wanted to PCD but the local dealer was rather deceitful and decided to walk rather than order. Then I found this car in Nebraska so I drove out there to get it!

Enjoy PCD when you get to!

Anyone planning on doing HPDE track days? I'm sure I'll be at WHRR next year so if anyone wants to meet up let me know!

Probably not me (been there, done that many times .. >10 years ago). But if you venture beyond SE Michigan, I highly recommend Gingerman and Grattan in western Michigan, or Putnam Park (my home track, back in the day) in central Indiana.

Grattan in particular is a track I love to hate, because it's so technical. Unlike other tracks, it doesn't flow so much as throw a gauntlet of driving challenges at you to overcome. Like an off-camber 180° with a steep downhill braking zone. Or (two turns later), a braking zone for a 90° turn immediately after a sharp crest. Or an uphill sweeper with a blind apex leading to a super-long straightaway.

I have driven Grattan once in my last car and it was a blast! Trying to balance fast vs getting air right before the bowl was always tricky. I don't think I ever got the bus stop right ha ha.

I'll have to check it the others, thanks!
