Anyone attend the BMW M School in Thermal, CA?

I signed up for the BMW M School in Thermal, CA next March and was wondering if anyone has attended the 2-day event? Is there anything that I should bring or be aware of before the event? Also, what did you think of the event in terms of value that you received?

Oh. Holy crap, I replied (initially, below) before I saw the date on the original post. LOL. Well, my comments still apply. I wonder if the OP went and if he/she had a good time?

I have attended the event. It was pre-pandemic.

Bring appropriate clothing, as Palm Springs is in the desert, but is cool in the evenings.

I thought it was very expensive and frankly, not worth the cost. I've also done one day events at the SC facility. Not quite as much driving time but also significantly cheaper.

However, despite that comment, I did have a good time and I don't regret doing it.

Disclaimer: All of the events that I do are through the BMW CCA, with which they provide the events with a slightly different focus/format, and at a reduced rate.
