I'm having trouble too. I've got a 95 M3, 75K miles, suspension mods. Asking $22K. Had two serious prospects. First was a car guy, autocrosses a 300ZX Twin Turbo, loved the car. Thought about it, talked to some buddies, decided not to take a chance on a car which had been 'raced.' (I've been honest that the car has seen about 20 track weekends for Driver Education events.) Second guy not a car guy, couldn't drive it worth a damn, wanted to know 'how negotiable is the price?', offered 20K, I countered with 20,500, heard nothing back. Weird. I'm seriously bummed. - Rich

PCA doesn't charge instructors for their track time. In northeast area. The PCA instructors pay half of the normal fee in driving school. Example: 2 days at Pocono, student pay $180 and instructor pay only $90 for the 2 days. I know the instructors for BMWCCA school don't have to pay for the track but only pay for their own hotel and food. I was being told BMWCCA can not find enough instructors for their school!!!!???!!! That's why BMWCCA school is lot more than PCA school. Guess what? I have met a few of instructors which go to both schools. Why would the same instructor will goes to PCA school and knowing he have to pay out of his pocket $$? This subject has been beaten to dead before. Both schools teach the same thing, point-by passing only, no passing at corners...... Btw I have bad experience with BMWCCA school at O'fest. So, will I buy a P car? NO. I love my ///M3. The only thing will changes if more of us get involve in your local chapter. Win some election. Till then, you can guess which schools that I will attend. Kin Fong
