BMW Performance Driving School

If you like fast cars and are looking for a short vacation that you can take by yourself, then check out the BMW Performance Driving School in Greenville, South Carolina. Designed for beginners and advanced drivers alike, the classes are led by professional instructors at BMW's $12.5 million driving facility and road course (there's also a skid pad, slalom and water walls). We're eyeing the two-and-a-half-day M School (from $3,650), in which you can get behind the wheels of the 500 HP M5, M3 manual and M3 SMG. Even if you drive an '87 Toyotoa pickup to work every day, you can now easily become a pro driver taking the turns in a high performance Bimmer — at least for a couple of days.
