Yeah, I'm planning to take the M5 to Germany to the M performance training center. Should give me enough kilometers to cover most of the break in period and learn a few things about handling that baby. The M training center gives you an M car on the track for 2 days with a trainer. Anyone done this?

I've done the M-training here in Belgium. M training came standard as I took my car with the M performance pack (limiter off from the factory). I didn't take the course on the Nürburgring as you get an M3 or a Z4M as a car and these are totally different compared to the M6 (or M5 in your case).
In Belgium they offer an M training on a closed airfield which allows you to use your own car. I can only recommend this. This is the best way to experience what your car can do (and that is more than what you will expect when you start the day). Needless to say that you need to go there after the break-in period and expect to use a set of tires in one day.
I think it is a must for all M drivers to take this course but with their own car. I drove the new M3 last November on a track and that car handles totally different compared to the M5 and M6. You want to do this with your baby and nothing else.
Enjoy and you will have a lot of respect for the car at the end of the day.
