They will also help you prep your vehicle and provide an instructor to help you safely learn. They may have helmets to loan.

Check your insurance before taking your vehicle on the track; most likely damage that occurs there is excluded. Ask the club folks if they think track insurance makes senses at your skill level and such. And, check your warranty as it also may have exclusions for track use.

If all that seems too much, there are BMW events where you drive their cars, and some other organizations that do similar things (pay to play). But start with the BMW CCA to learn enough to make an appropriate decision for your situation.

Be sure to ask the organization if they allow SUVs on track. I know some (many?) don't, even for top-dog performance SUVs.

Also the XM is electric right? Some tracks are very against having electric vehicles on the track as they really cant support putting the fire out.
